Smudge-Relax Toolbar

This button appears on the GeoH panel, but is not part of GeoH tracking per se. It is a quick way to open the Smudge-Relax toolbar, which can be done in the usual way from the perspective-view's right-click menu. Smudge and Relax are mesh editing tools that are typically used to adjust pre-built meshes to better match a shot after camera or object tracking.

Smudge Mesh and Relax Mesh are mesh-refinement tools that are independent of GeoH tracking. They are included here because they share the same methodology and controls as the GeoH tools, notably painting and airbrushing, and may be used in the mesh-building preparation for GeoH tracking.


Both Smudge Mesh and Relax Mesh operate on the underlying non-animated version, ie the basic mesh that is later distorted by the bones process. When you change a mesh on any frame, it affects the appearance of the mesh on all other frames as well.
