Hi, I have a working manual workflow in Slicer, where I load a segmentation, then show it in 3D, and increase the surface smoothness via that tiny arrow on the “Show 3D” button. After that, i export the segmentation to … --- ## [Shaped-based or label gaussian interpolator for segmentation upsampling](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/shaped-based-or-label-gaussian-interpolator-for-segmentation-upsampling/44060)

For a 3d volume of low resolution images, I have 3 different segmented classes. Because of the low resolution, the edges of the segments look rather jagged. I know that in fact, the ground truth of my image has rather sm… --- ## [Segment Editor smoothing](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/segment-editor-smoothing/29893)

Is the smoothing algorithm in the “Show 3D” button of the Segment Editor using Taubin smoothing? I have seen recommendations to turn off smoothing and export the model to apply Taubin smoothing in external software like …
