# ClayPolish

ClayPolish is a post-processing operation that alters the topological structure of your model by shifting vertices to create edges.

> **Note:** Adjust slider parameters and tap **ClayPolish** to apply.

> **Tip:** This feature is handy for stylizing or creating a hard-surface look on a sculpted model. Activate the **Polish** option in DynaMesh settings to apply the **ClayPolish** effect each time you remesh DynaMesh.
