mesh smoothing with brushes

[mjens]

i'm looking for a plugin or tool which I could smooth part of a model with a round brush like in photoshop... is it even possible to do that in 3ds max 9?

[skdr]

That's actually pretty clever idea

Don't really get it but maybe "paint deformation" is what you're looking for. It's in the editable poly modifier.

[Zacker]

Are you talking about mesh smoothing as in subdividing it such as the meshsmooth modifier does? I don't think this feature exists in max, but could indeed be a good idea.

If you are looking for just smoothing the existing polygons however, then the paint deformation relax does the job nicely.

[mjens]

No no.

I'm looking for a tool that will decrease/increase distance between verts so the won't make sharp edges. Yes, its just a meshsmooth or turbosmooth but i want to use that feature with a brush like painting in photoshop. I want to smooth only part of the model...

Blender has that feature. :monocle: But I'm pretty sure you don't want to touch it.

As soon as I've seen you replyed to this thread, I knew there must be some wicked open source solution for the problem.

found it

Editable poly > select all verts form your mesh > go to 'paint deformation' in editable poly > click on 'relax' and check what's heppening with the verts then you click and move while holding distance is smoothing! I still don't know how to modify it only on X or Z axis...

great succes
