Quote - The new Bevel Tool in C4D r15 has also just raised the bar in what is possible in box modelling without booleans.  I haven't seen an equal to it in any other modelling package.  Extremely powerful. Our team has been cranking out some very complex hard surface stuff in no time with it.

Sinner, I've seen that new Bevel tool, and it looks great.  However, it's not without equal.  You're going to hate hearing this, but we have had that same exact functionality in 3dsmax for almost 2 years now, through a fantastic plugin modifier called Quad Chamfer.  I fully expect this plugin to make it into the native 3dsmax UI within the next release or so.

There's 3 vids on this page that show it in action.  Same features as the new C4D Bevel:
