All items in SL have to be built inside Second Life. You can import sounds and textures, but not actual 3D shapes.

As far as a simple tutorial to get started, you might try this one:

Oh I only wish...

I've got oodles of Maya models just begging for a home in SL but unfortunately they aren't moving in any time soon. I don't see why SL wouldn't be able to import OBJ data, but that's just the way it is.

SL modeling is a lot like playing with legos. Put your advanced skills on hold for a while, break out your childhood skill set, and you'll do fine.
