Quote - Well, I guess I was thinking of an even more "cheapie" kind of volume preservation where one would just scale the result up after each smoothing step to compensate for the shrinkage. I should have remembered that you've already implemented much smarter smoothing methods before.

Eh?    I think we're talking about the same basic thing, and I also get the sense that I may have offended with my last response.  My apologies.    What I've done before is move along the vertex normals by an amount determined by the distance the smoothed vertex has moved.  Are you suggesting actual scaling as in applying a scale matrix, or something?

It's a good idea.  :thumbupboth:  Thank you!  :laugh:
