Sorry for 'grave digging' but I'm looking for different topics related to FWN and see that a lot of people still have problems with mid poly shading 'management'. So I would like to present this I was able to achieve such results in 3ds Max 2012. Not a modifier, but using script. It turns out to be very difficult to make a proper pipeline inside of max to create a stable and predictable results in this matter. And making a one button solution is not possible when you have to deal with something more complex than box and few chamfers. Now, having this tool I think it is possible to get really nice results in a very comfortable way. https://polycount.com/discussion/206583/vertex-normal-toolkit-for-3ds-max/p1?new=1
