Part 3 - Take A Whack With A Hammer ! - continued.
Apply a hammer blow to the surface again, partially overlapping the previous blows.

Note that the last hammer blow is "higher" than the others. Move the cursor over the last hammer blow and note that the dynamic Z height readout shows the height of the last blow to be 2.0 .

Click on the "Reset" button to erase the hammer tip. Note that the hammer tip draw mode is automatically set back to "Add" mode. Click and drag the left mouse button in the hammer tip window to draw a medium-sized circle. Set the "hammer blow" mode to "Smooth". The "Z" height widget will disappear - and it is replaced by the "Smooth Window" widget. This value is the number of adjacent grid cells used in the smoothing process. The larger the number, the greater the amount of smoothing with each blow. The minimum allowed value is 3. Set the "Smooth Window" value to 5. Click multiple times (or click and drag) in the vicinity of the previous hammer blows to apply smoothing to the sculpture grid.
