Does anyone have any practical tips for improving the quality of the model upon import using Unity? I am trying to develop a good workflow for making animated shorts in Unity, but I am hitting a stumbling block with the quality of the models in Unity.

An example of what I am experiencing can be seen in the image below. The image on the right is the model in iClone before import into 3DXchange. Left is the imported model in unity after exporting using 3dxchange.
