What I Did Today

I exported several ship models, who's average Polygon count is around 10,000, burned them to disk and headed out the door.

I discovered a few days ago that I cannot import any of my ship models into Blender, or Maya. So those programs are out.

Very strange.
You can export your model as a 3DFACE DXF file (or POLYLINE DXF, but first one works better). Then fire up Blender and import this DXF (File->Import->DXF...)
It works fine. And btw Blender can export to .X format (at least to dx8).
