The LU Team submits directly in LDraw. As you can see in the header:

they use Marc Klein's converter. It is known that TLG uses a heavily modified
Maya to author parts.

For sure it would be best to get a file format closer from the original design
(.stl for example), to be able to tweak stl2dat parameters for better results.
Or to create directly POV versions...


I woudln't bother pushing this.  LEGO is being very nice to the fan community by
providing us parts in LDRAW DAT format.  I'd leave it at that.
