About Blender smoothing groups. Is there any?
All I have found is that you have to detach faces like in Zmodeler, and thats no good.

I don't know of another way to do it.

I don't get you when you said it's no good : you can merge back all the pieces together using Ctrl+J, then in Edit mode, remove all duplicate vertices using W, entry "Remove doubles".

Edit : I just thought of another way, using vertex groups. But it doesn't work. Sorry

Oh, OK. I´ll try that.

Thanks!

Thanks alot man!

As a modifier, it looks really nice. And fortunately, it can works from edges marked as sharp. Top notch, thanks for this one.

Impressive as even a software I used for years and I'm following the development every week is still able to surprise me !
