Smooth Laplacian Modifier

The Smooth Laplacian modifier allows you to reduce noise on a mesh’s surface with minimal changes to its shape.

It can also exaggerate the shape using a negative Factor.

The Smooth Laplacian is useful for objects that have been reconstructed from the real world and contain undesirable noise. It removes noise while still preserving desirable geometry as well as the shape of the original model.

This modifier is based on a curvature flow Laplace Beltrami operator in a diffusion equation.

Dica

Meshes with a great number of vertices, more than ten thousand (10,000), may take several minutes for processing. You can use small portions of the mesh for testing before executing the modifier on the entire model.

Repetir

Repetitions allow you to run the smoothing operation multiple times. Each repetition causes the flow curvature of the mesh to be recalculated again, and as a result it removes more noise with every new iteration using a small Factor < 1.0.

When on 0, no smoothing is done.

Nota

More repetitions will take longer to calculate. So beware of doing so on meshes with a large number of vertices.

Lambda Factor

Controls the amount of displacement of every vertex along the flow curvature.

• Using a small Factor, you can remove noise from the shape without affecting desirable geometry.

• Using a large Factor, you get smoothed versions of the shape at the cost of fine geometry details.

• Using a negative Factor, you can enhance the shape, preserving desirable geometry.

• When the Factor is negative, multiple iterations can magnify the noise.

Lambda Border

Since there is no way to calculate the curvature flow on border edges, they must be controlled separately. Border edges are smoothed using a much simpler method, using this property to control the influence.

Positive values will smooth the vertex positions, while negative values will «enhance» them by transforming them in the opposite direction.

Preservar volume

The smoothing process can produce shrinkage. That is significant for large Factor or large Repeat values. You can use that option to reduce that effect.

Vertex Group

A vertex group name, to constrain the effect to a group of vertices only. Allows for selective, real-time smoothing or enhancing, by painting vertex weights.

Inverter <->

Inverte a influência do grupo de vértices selecionado, o que significa que o grupo agora representa vértices que não serão deformados pelo modificador.

The setting reverses the weight values of the group.
