Hello Adam
Good question
I never got them to work with Maya PLE either; no matter how hard or soft I made the faces, they always imported soft, and still do with Blender. If you do find the answer, let me know too.
For those of you who may remember the Farsight, I was never really happy with the design, so I am redoing the model. As usual, it is modeled in Blender.
Looks very nice, but could probably do with it's own thread on the forums, people might get confused and think these are for UnWheel 2.
