How would you represent a mesh with tris and quads?
My understanding is that, while subdivision algorithms like Catmull-Clark can work for any polygonal mesh (including triangles) it's preferable to start with a quad mesh.
Currently my rendering engine ...

Approximating Geodesics in a half edge DS, how can I refine my mesh to get good approximations
I implemented Djikstra's shortest path algorithm to approximate Geodesics on arbitrary meshes. Djikstra's works, but I noticed a problem inherent to the discretization of my meshes.
Consider the ...
