The Push modifier lets you "push" object vertices
outward or inward along the average vertex
normals. This produces an "inflation" effect that
you can’t otherwise obtain.
Positive and negative amounts of push applied to an object.

Relax moves the bowl away f rom its original contours.
When you apply Relax, each vertex is moved
toward the average position of its neighboring

visible edge with the c u rrent vertex.
