If you can use subdivision surfaces for 2D curves
I've seen how subdivision surfaces are good for 3D curves/modeling, but haven't seen anything on if it's good, or even usable, in 2D.
My question is just that, if (a) you can even use subdivision ...

Problems with Subdivision Surfaces
It sounds like Subdivision Surfaces are better than NURBS but not as good as T-splines. I would like to know some of the disadvantages of Subdivision Surfaces, what they can't do or what they do ...

Visualizing the Lane-Riesenfeld Algorithm
Ok so, I keep reading papers about this and non of them have pictures. The lane Riesenfeld algorithm provides a way to subdivide set of points with B-spline conversion.
The quesiton is simple HOW? If ...

Where do the coefficients in the Catmull-Clark subdivision algorithm come from?
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 ...

B-Spline patches on the tessellation shader. How to get the control points
I have a polygonal mesh with ngons in it. I want to make a tessellation shader to which I send only the regular quads in such a way that it can construct a B-Spline surfaces across it. I came across ...

What is this triangle sub-division scheme called?
I have thought of a triangle sub-division for the purpose of smooth triangulation (no popping) over time on the fly. I think it is very likely the scheme is already invented and has a name but I can´t ...

Constructing base mesh for required subdivision surface
Given a triangle mesh, does there exist any algorithm to compute a base mesh (smaller in size than the triangle mesh) that could be subdivided multiple times to get back the original mesh (or an ...

What subdivision algorithm advances have occurred since Catmull-Clark?
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 ...
