Blender Smooth
- Smooth Corrective Modifier — Blender Manual Smooth Corrective Modifier ¶ The Smooth Corrective modifier is used to reduce highly distorted areas of a mesh by smoothing the deformations. This is typically useful after an Armature modifier, where distortion around joints may be hard to avoid, even with careful weight painting.
- It's actually pretty easy to do, but not easy to guess at how it's done. Well, I couldn't really find any videos on this. Probably are many, but I missed the.

Jan 07, 2021 The secret behind every great smoothie is a great blender. But with so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to know exactly which one is the best fit for you. Smooth Shading The effect that gives the impression that a surface or area seems curved or has an organic appearance is called Smooth Shading in Blender. To assign smoothing, select the object in the 3D View then from the Object menu select Shade Smooth – Object » Shade Smooth.
Mesh Shading¶
As seen in the previous sections, polygons are central to Blender.Most objects are represented by polygons and truly curved objectsare often approximated by polygon meshes. When rendering images,you may notice that these polygons appear as a series of small, flat faces.

Sometimes this is a desirable effect, but usually we want our objects to look nice and smooth.This section shows you how to visually smooth an object, and how to apply the Auto Smoothfilter to quickly and easily combine smooth and faceted polygons in the same object.
The last section on this page shows possibilities for smoothing a mesh’s geometry,not only its appearance.

Shading buttons in Tool Shelf.
The easiest way is to set an entire object as smooth or faceted by selecting a mesh object,and in Object Mode, click Smooth in the Tool Shelf.This button does not stay pressed;it forces the assignment of the “smoothing” attribute to each face in the mesh,including when you add or delete geometry.
Notice that the outline of the object is still strongly faceted.Activating the smoothing features does not actually modify the object’s geometry;it changes the way the shading is calculated across the surfaces (normals will be interpolated),giving the illusion of a smooth surface.
Click the Flat button in theTool Shelf ‘s Shading panel to revert the shading back (normals will be constant)to that shown in the first image above.
Smoothing Parts of a Mesh¶
Blender Smooth Stl
Alternatively, you can choose which edges to smooth by entering Edit Mode,then selecting some faces and clicking the Smooth button.The selected edges are marked in yellow.
When the mesh is in Edit Mode,only the selected edges will receive the “smoothing” attribute. You can set edges as flat(removing the “smoothing” attribute)in the same way by selecting edges and clicking the Flat button.
Auto Smooth¶
Reference
It can be difficult to create certain combinations of smooth and solid faces using the abovetechniques alone. Though there are workarounds(such as splitting off sets of faces by selecting them and pressing Y
),there is an easier way to combine smooth and solid faces, by using Auto Smooth.Auto smoothing can be enabled in the mesh tab in the Properties Editor in the Normals panel.
Edge Split Modifier¶
With the Edge Split Modifier a resultsimilar to Auto Smooth can be achieved with the ability to choose which edges should be split,based on angle. Those Angles are marked as sharp.

Smoothing the Mesh Geometry¶
The above techniques do not alter the mesh itself, only the way it is displayed and rendered.Instead of just making the mesh look like a smooth surface,you can also physically smooth the geometry of the mesh with these tools:
Mesh Editing Tools¶
You can apply one of the following in Edit Mode:
Blender Smooth Object
- Smooth
- This relaxes selected components, resulting in a smoother mesh.
- Laplacian Smooth
- Smooths geometry by offers controls for better preserving larger details.
- Subdivide Smooth
- Adjusting the smooth parameter after using the subdividetool results in a more organic shape. This is similar to using the Subdivision Surface Modifier.
- Bevel
- This Bevels selected edged, causing sharp edges to be flattened.
Blender Smooth
Modifiers¶
Alternatively,you can smooth the mesh non-destructively with one or several of the following modifiers:
Blender Smooth Mesh
- Smooth Modifier
- Works like the Smooth tool in Edit Mode;can be applied to specific parts of the mesh using vertex groups.
- Laplactian Smooth Modifier
- Works like the Laplacian Smooth tool in Edit Mode;can be applied to specific parts of the mesh using vertex groups.
- Bevel Modifier
- Works like the Bevel tool in Edit Mode;Bevel can be set to work on an angle threshold, or on edge weight values.
- Subdivision Surface Modifier
- Catmull-Clark subdivision produces smooth results. Sharp edges can be defined withsubdivision creasesor by setting certain edges to “sharp” and adding anEdge Split Modifier(set to From Marked As Sharp) before the Subdivision Surface Modifier.
