I am trying to see if slicer has a built in method for smoothing out the staircase effect on models. for example, this skull model shows the effect on the back: [image] there are certainly papers that outline algorithms to smooth the staircase effect, but implementation can be a rather daunting …

Slicer has all the tools to deal with this. Do you still have the image where this model is generated from?

yes, i have everything needed to generate this model

OK, if you have the original volume then these instructions should work well.
