Smooth
VFX Loom 1.1.0 reference for the Geometry Beta Smooth node.
Geometry
processing.geometrySmooth 
Overview
Smooths geometry using repeated local relaxation.
Geometry Beta deformation. Applies local smoothing for the requested iterations; Preserve Boundary keeps boundary vertices constrained when enabled.

Inputs
| Input | Type | Required | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| geometry | Geometry | Required | — | See the overview for the node's documented behavior. |
| mask | GeometryField | Optional | — | See the overview for the node's documented behavior. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Default | Animatable | Range / options | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | Scalar | 1 | Yes | Hard 0..1 · Step .01 | Animatable control; changing it over time varies the node response. |
| Iterations | Scalar | 2 | Not declared | Hard 1..8 · Step 1 | Local control documented by the production node behavior. |
| Preserve Boundary | Bool | true | Not declared | — | Local control documented by the production node behavior. |
Outputs
| Output | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| geometry | Geometry | The production node output described by the overview. |
Usage
In practice
- Use Smooth after a deformation when the mesh needs local relaxation.
- Increase Iterations carefully; use Preserve Boundary when open edges should remain constrained.
Notes / limitations
- Smooth changes vertex positions but does not provide general topology editing.
