In 1978 Edwin Catmull and Jim Clark defined the recursive subdivision process that bears their names, and although those principles are applicable still today, what advances have occurred as far as optimization and accuracy?

I'm learning about subdivision surface algorithms. The "Catmull-Clark" algorithm seems to be one of the most widely-used classical algorithms. The introduction of new face points and edges is straightforward, but I'm confused by the following…

I just took a online computer graphics course and studied surface subdivision. I knew that surface subdivision could update a coarse surface into a fine one, but can we predict the updated surface shape depending on the original surface? In my point…
