Max Smoothing Groups
Developer: Thinkbox Production
Brings numbered smoothing groups to Blender, handling edge sharpness and vertex normals between groups automatically.
What Max Smoothing Groups does
Max Smoothing Groups adapts a workflow familiar from 3ds Max to Blender. Faces are assigned to numbered groups, and Blender then takes care of edge sharpness and vertex normals wherever groups differ.
The panel follows the smoothing group conventions long used in other major 3D programs. It is meant to make hard-surface shading of mechanical parts fast without hand-marking sharp edges. Artists migrating from Max, or game modelers who rely on smoothing groups for exchange, will feel at home.
