Objective of Subdivision surface

Keep advantages from

  • - general topology of meshes

  • - smoothness of parametric splines

Example on curves

curve

\[ \left( \begin{array}{l} p^{n+1}_{2k} \\ p^{n+1}_{2k+1} \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{ll} 1/3 & 2/3 \\ 2/3 & 1/3 \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{l} p^{n+1}_{k} \\ p^{n+1}_{k+1} \end{array} \right) \]

For surfaces: 2D subdivision mask
