Fix Poles

Fix poles is a simple plugin which will take the poles you have selected(or all the poles that exist in your geometry if no points are selected) and will modify them to look better in subpatch mode by making cuts to form a tiny flat disc section at each pole, flattening and reducing the smoothing tension caused by the triangles all around it. Note that it doesn't perform any miracles and some slight bumps and abnormalities may appear on the surface with curved poles. However, it certainly does make them look much better and more concealed most of the time, and will often obliterate such smoothing artifacts completely on poles which span across broad, flat regions. You can often apply the tool multiple times to the same pole to reduce the tension. I find that applying it twice on sphere poles looks best. Applying it too many times may cause the flatness of the discs created at the poles to become more pronounced.
