Is it possible to import scenes from Maya into Blender?

I don't see a direct importer...

Your best bet is probably going to be to export from Maya to a .obj format or something very standard, then import that to Blender.
Likely, you'll lose all textures and materials; but you will be able to keep most of the geometry intact.

That sounds like the right way to do it (at least, what I was counting on).

With luck, the textures will remain, however.
