Well, this is open source and we are all volunteers. So sometimes

I don't know of any extension that does this out of the box. You may 
want to look at extension mm_dam_filelist which does more and is not 
really a gallery.

The main problem is that extensions like Smooth Gallery are keyed to 
display images from a DAM category that is defined in the content 
element instance. It is not designed to accept a parameter (like 
tx_rgsmoothgallery_pi1[catUid] or whatever) and dynamically change the 
DAM category it displays.

Furthermore you also need to render the DAM category tree, which no 
extension does without doing something else too. So maybe looking at 
mm_dam_filelist will help you find the right pieces of code and you can 
get doing something on your own.

HTH
