Laplacian Smooth Modifier and Shape Enhanced

The Laplacian Smooth and Shape Enhanced modifiers let you reduce noise on a mesh surface with minimal changes to its shape, and exaggerate a shape using a Laplacian smoothing modifier in the reverse direction using a single parameter <math> factor </math>, that supports negative and positive values: negative for enhancement and positive for smoothing.
