Suggestion regarding pins and tweaking

[BizLight]

Hey, loving the new changes so far! Having tested it out a bit on a couple of meshes, think there's something that could help out a bit (for me at least): the option to use pinned vertices as "guide" vertices for other vertices being smoothed,

Right now pinning excludes vertices from smoothing / tweaking completely, what I mean by that is the other vertices being smoothed tend to ignore the position of the pinned vertex (when trying to find the most suitable position), this was a bit more evident on "organic" shapes (imagine clothing). If you'd like, I could edit the post or add further clarification, including images, of what exactly I'd want it to do.

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

I actually proposed this same thing last year (#1551) but now that I've dug into Relax a bit more I better understand the challenge.

Take Averge Vertices, for example. It averages the location of each vertex with its connected vertices. So those pinned and masked verts are actually being used as guides. It's just that, in concave shapes, the average is always going to pull them inwards because the surrounding geometry is more heavily weighted in that direction. So you fundamentally have to use a different algortihm than averaging locations. In this case, Equalize Faces does a much better job because it treats each face individually.

If you could include as many different example images as you can think of, that would be really helpful in trying to think of an approach that would work for those situations.
