The Preserve Volume option smooths fine detail and noise on your model while retaining its shape and definition.
The Preserve Volume option is especially useful when working with data that has a lot of small or micro surface detail you don't want, such as what can be seen with Scan and Sculpt data. Reducing this noisy data with the Relax modifier can help improve the processing time of the Retopology Tools for 3ds Max.
