Well I guess you could make a script that converts your poly or whatever to sub-d's and then increases the smoothness...

Well i don't know MEL but if you can hack the script :bow:

Code:
//
// toggle subdivision surfaces
//
// Created by Hamish McKenzie www.emissionpossible.com
// Created : 4 July 2001
// Amended : 9 April 2003**
//
// Description:
// a simple little script that will hopefully make lightwave users
// a little more comfortable with their modelling.  it will toggle
// an object between subdiv and poly.  it will also convert a nurbs
// surface to subdiv.
//
// 13/12/01:Fixed it, so hopefully it now works.  The original version
// of this script was one of my first.  And it showed.  So I've
// re-written it, so its a lot cleaner, and it should work properly
// now.  Plus it now works with multiple selections, as well as when
// you've got components selected instead of objects.
//
// 26/03/03simple change.  it now works on hilite selections if either
// an object or component isn't selected.
//
// **it now checks to see if there are any "intermediate" objects
// that share the same transform, and deletes them.  It also
// automatically deletes history on the object.  It seems to be very
// reliable now.  It also no longer relies on external scripts.
//

I don't know MEL either, but you should be off to a good start if you just convert the mesh, press 3, open the script editor, copy the actions you've just done and put them into a shelf icon or something like that... user added image
