[Bf-committers] Smooth shading could be better (compared to C4D)

With beveled corners C4D is definitely the winner. See the star like shading in Blender? Not very pretty.
At the flat area C4D is displaying it a little bit better. But in general C4D is displaying this better. The model I received from my workmate (can't show) has some really ugly artifcts in Blender, whereas you can' or barely can see them in C4D.

PS: Both edge split behaviours have been set to the same value of 80 (although this doesn't really matter with this model).
