First of all, who do you actually know with "untensing" abs? I personally know a lot of fitness models/athletes, none of whom have "untensing" abs.
What I would say is that most fitness models don't actually tense there abs. The best abdominal appearance actually comes from the appropriate breathing, and then drawing in your torso in the right areas. This is very difficult to explain, so what I will do as soon as possible is record a video to demonstrate this.

Even at my leanest, my abs look better and sharper when they are flexed / tensed. Some people have a combination of good genetics and naturally-prominent abs but otherwise, the only thing you can do is get your bodyfat as low as possible and then you've got the best chance of having abs without tensing - assuming you've done a reasonable amount of ab work and built the muscles appropriately.
