Description
The Laplacian Smooth allows you to reduce noise on a mesh's surface with minimal changes on its shape.
Computer graphics objects which have been reconstructed from real world, contain undesirable noise. A Mesh smoothing tool removes undesirable noise while still preserves desirable geometry as well as the shape of the original model.
The Laplacian Smooth is based on a curvature flow Laplace Beltrami operator in a diffusion equation.
The Laplacian Smooth can be used to model objects with a new technique called "Smooth Subdivision Surface". In this technique, you can move vertices along a curvature flow, by changing the lambda factor.
