For those of us who prefer to use the fbx file format for our XNA Games or applications, the Autodesk has a small utility that can be downloaded from their site to assist with this.
This small utility will convert to and from several different formats to the Autodesk’s FBX file format.
FBX Converter
Transfer project data from one application to another quickly and easily with the FBX Converter. This utility lets you convert OBJ, DXF™, and 3DS files to and from the FBX format.
By using this tool you should be able to go to any of the main model repositories and find the models you like, then using this tool convert it to your preferred model format.
Here is the Direct Link to the download page for the Tools.
You can also find the SDK for the FBX System there, included in this is the code for a simple FBX Viewer that you can compile up and use to verify the Export of the model and make sure that it works before you load it up in your XNA Applications.
