Filters are a very important and effective tool to sharpen meshes and eliminate the rounded and “blobby” look.

 

 

Filter

In order to apply the various mesh filters, please enable this feature.

Relaxation

This type stretches and sharpens the mesh’s edges and gives you a much more natural look. The default value does not have to be changed in most cases, and you should alter “steps” instead. Over-relaxed meshes have sharp borders and a stringy look.

Tension

If you can see unwanted ripples and patterns on your mesh please this parameter: enter a base value of 0.1 and adjust the filter's strength with “steps”.

Steps

A few notes on this parameter:

  • A range between 8 and 32 works best for most applications.
  • Higher values mean less mesh detail.
  • Very high settings (100+) produce unrealistic results, unless you really want to achieve a certain effect, e.g. liquid metal.
