Smooth a jagged edge, is it possible?

Hello everyone,

Basic mesh with noise. Blast all black, and leaves this jagged edge because of the low division level, which is expected.

My question, is there a way of making this edge clean and smooth without the need to subdivide the mesh into something crazy heavy?

Thank you

Difficult to see what is going on there, but have you tried the Smooth node?

Hey Vusta.
Attachment Not Found

So I thought it was working, and then it wasnt.
The way I am doing it, blasting whats black, causes weird geometry issues.I have attached a file if anyone has the time to look.

Thank you

I removed the Add node which removes the weirs geo issue. Its not perfectly smooth but it will work for what I am doing.
Thank you Vusta.

ok, here's the workflow for 3D object with multi holes. Pay attention to my border groups, check at the bottom where I have Create Boundary Groups, so it creates a group for each hole, then in Add, use this fact.
