indeed 3ds Max has quad chamfer!
Also, beta testers are in the 1st post list .
If we could get an 'Inset' modifier with a "by smoothing group" checkbox or if that is simply added to the chamfer/quad-chamfer modifiers we should be in the clear.

Old ASF Hell compared to Version 2.1
-Short cuts seam to be wonky and crash stuff ( not sure yet if its because of the use with other scripts)
-We had to restart many times to let the script work again, rehashing and stuff did not work.
-Boolean did not work like expected, some artist could not choose between the different options Intersect, combine
We do however see a lot of potential in this script. together with the shapeshifter this is we are searching for. right now it would be a combination of 3 scripts to get the pipeline working ( i will write it out today to post here/or PM i think )
Again this is just after a quick look at it. but going in the right direction. very excited thanks
-Getting errors? often it happens when you're in mouse drag mode and you're trying to call crease+ again on another selection. When you're done with mouse drag make sure you hit Q or W though
-In fact the cycle boolean operation thing works only if you haven't done any action after boolean, if there is only one node after boolean operation and you try to change operation type, you won't be able to change it. Again precision, and reading the documentation save alot from these things.
And to give you guys even more good news,if you have ShapeShifter in your script directory Crease+ will let you use ShapeShifter as your bevel tool instead of the classic Maya bevel.You will be able to toggle both of them,of course
perna Maya is definitely capable of that sadly.Applying 50-100 segments on a chamfer already starts killing the perfs depending on the object's complexity, so waiting 8 minutes for tweaking a chamfer almost sounds to good.But then again i have a relatively weak GPU and CPU so the issue might depend on that.
PS: Softimage is great.
-It's always a smart move to clean your mesh as you go with Booleans, connecting 2 vertices on large Ngons is all you have to do in most cases. WHY? Because it doesn't matter if you use CREASE+ 's default bevel or Shape Shifter which will be supported, the more your mesh is fucked up the more both will have difficulties, doing that will just increase your chance a lot for getting a nice shiny edge from your hard edge bevel. Yet Shape Shifter is the most powerful bevel and will in plenty cases save you from doing that, but bear in mind that errors, notably on bevel outputted mesh can appear. On my post I used CREASE+ default bevel, all that was required is to connect a couple of verts.
-When your bevel width is not on point , and you're at the maximum value, you can clamp the value for bigger width in the channel Box and it just works, so no panic in case your beveled edge is as thin as a panama paper, just clamp! :chuffed:
