ParticipantCan anyone explain subdivision surfaces for me? I understand that it involves modeling the surface by breaking it into smaller and smaller pieces, but what is the mathematical description of a subdivision surface? Preferably, explain it in plain language, maybe with a few well-explained formulas to illustrate key points.
Also, can Delftship export a NURBS equivalent or near-equivalent to a subdivision surface?
Thanks.

KeymasterSee the PDF document below for a mathematical description of a subdivision surface similar to the one used by Delftship.
As far as conversion from/to NURBS is concerned:- Uniform non-rational Bspline surfaces can be presented by subdivision surfaces exactly
- Non-uniform or rational surfaces are approximated
- Conversion to NURBS is also exact

ParticipantThank you for the pdf Marven. I will try to read it and understand it.

ParticipantMarvin,
Thanks for the paper, I read it as well, but however im unsure of your previous statement. To clarify, are you saying that importing a NURBS surface into Delftship means that the surface would be approximated however exporting Delftship into NURBS would be exact?
Thanks so much for any help.
