The Relax brush lets you even out the spacing between vertices on a surface, cleaning up new topology you create with the Quad Draw tool. You can smooth the entire surface or focus the relax operation on a section of your mesh.
To relax all vertices
- Open the Quad Draw tool.
- Select a Relax option from the Quad Draw Tool marking menu (
+ 
+ 
) or Quad Draw Options. - Relax vertices by doing one of the following:
- -drag the Relax brush over vertices.
- Activate Soft Selection mode (hotkey: b), and then -drag the Relax brush over vertices. See Soft Selection mode. Note: The Relax brush applies equal weighting to the entire falloff area, so modifying the Falloff curve does not affect your results.
- Continue to relax vertices by repeatedly dragging the Relax brush across the surface.
To relax a selection of vertices
- In the Modeling Toolkit window, activate Soft Select.
- Move your cursor over your mesh to preview the falloff area.
- Do the following:
- +
-drag right to relax vertices. - + -drag left to undo the relax operation.
You can use the Relax brush with Soft Selection to relax a selection of vertices.
