You will need to export them to DTS.

For static shapes (assuming the program that you are using uses the same version of the OBJ format), you can use obj2dts. Otherwise you will need to use a program that has DTS export capabilities.

You can use Blender. Joseph Greenawalt's done some great work on the newest exporter for it.

Well, first, I would suggest reading the Blender Manual to figure out the workflow of the application. Then I would recommend downloading the Max/Maya interfaces for Blender to speed up your workflow once you understand the application (if you find it difficult to "get"). Then, go through the DTS exporter and match up terminology that you now have.

EDIT: Linkification.
