did you ever at one point export, or import this sovy from an oBJ format? I only ask because i think you use 3ds max to do your editing and the Nif plugin to do the import, exporting, and if you imported an obj file, that would explain the harsh smoothing errors seen in your first pic. GC sovy has an animation in it so i had to export it to 3ds format, then to obj, then back to get rid of it. If you do use an obj format, unclick the smoothing groups on the importer/ exporter to remove this error for next time.
