Add band-width to "Points to SDF Grid"!

Without it it's impossible to make nice sdf smoothing operations.

Here's an example how lack of bandwidth makes your operations ugly. There's more cases but this one is very compelling. Screenshot 2026-07-14 123835.png

The SDF Grid Mean node will give smooth results

You're absolutely right and honestly I wasn't aware this node exists, but width still has user cases

Looking at the openvdb code, band half-width is computed to be background / voxelSize whereas background is hard-coded to be 1 by the geometry node.

There's no explicit way to set the band half-width in openvdb though, so not sure if changing the background value in the code would be "correct" so to say...
