# Regular Smoothing
Regular smoothing applies an averaging filter to the surface of the field to remove bumps and dips. 
The ‘Smoothing strength’ slide bar controls how smooth it is by increasing the radius that is used in calculations. The smaller the slider value, the less of an effect the smoothing will have.
Smoothing can be applied to the whole field, or to individual regions. It can be applied to the original surface, or to an existing design.
