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.
