Low poly hard surface automatic unwrapping plugins, do they exist? (3dsmax)

Hi I'm currently working on a low poly game and a lot of the models are hard surface, even the organics are very blocky. Unwrapping the models is becoming a bit of a chore and I'm just looking to improve my efficiency.

I don't use pelt mapping because my models are very blocky so I've been finding it a lot easier to just flatten map everything and stitch it together. I can't help but feel like this process could be automated.

Is there anything out there, preferably free that might help? Thanks.

Textools split by smoothing groups and then stitching shells is quite quick. You could look into Flatiron if you want something more automatic
