Relaxing and Regularizing Sample Points

 
 
 

The Relax and Regularize operators can be used to adjust the sample point coordinates.

Both operations are usually performed on islands, although you can use any selection you want. Island borders are not affected.

To apply Relax or Regularize

  1. In the texture editor, select the sample points to affect.

  2. Choose one of the following:

    • Tools Relax (not Relax (legacy))
    • Tools Regularize

  3. Adjust the sliders:

    • Iterations is the number of times to repeat the operation. Higher values give stronger effects, but after a certain number of iterations the sample positions usually reach a final state and do not move further.
    • Power is the strength of the effect at each iteration. Again, higher values give stronger effects.
