Hi I'm very entertaining with Maxwell Render...
Archicad it's not very well manage soft surfaces... whit the "mesh smoothing" angle I can make soft surfaces but in many cases I want to make something soft and something hard... I know it can be done with "Studio" but when a scene has many objects its very tedious... Is there any form to apply something like "phong tag" to specify object in Archicad? Can I .mxm material has this "tag"? I has a little knowledge in Cinema 4d and Cinema has the phong tag that make this...
For example in this pic I want a high smooth angle to the leather (it has some triangles in the first plane)... but not to high for the wood...

Garquitectos, the solution is to get better models...
That same chair can be imported (evermotion has it) via 3ds into Archicad and you get a high poly object.
You are asking something that would "polish" our models... you may wish for it but...
Cheers!
