   I had some problems with the script posted above, It seemed to give me some incorrect results on more complex models. I decided to have a go at it, so here's my take. Basically I build a list of all the UV islands using a UV modifier, then set the auto smooth threshold to 180 and run auto smooth on each island. I'll post…

   M.Palko Thanks for that script! That has really helped lower vertex counts for me automatically! I'll buy you a beer if we every meetup.

10. [3dsmax] UVW seams to Smoothing Groups?
