Abstract
In example embodiments, techniques are provided for smoothing a mesh to remove unwanted bumpiness on regular surfaces. In one example embodiment, an editor determines a capture shape (e.g., a user-specified capture shape) that and then extracts a set of vertices of a multi-resolution mesh that include vertices that intersect the capture shape. The editor generates a fitted shape from the extracted set of vertices that more precisely defines the portion of the mesh to be smoothed, the fitted shape to have at least one of a different size or a different orientation than the capture shape. The editor then modifies the vertices that fall within or close to the fitted shape to change their coordinates to smooth the portion of the multi-resolution mesh. The modified vertices are persisted to a storage device for subsequent display or analysis.
