AB  - Polygonal meshes and particularly
triangular meshes are the most used
structure for 3D modelling. The ‘direct
edges’ data structure is the most
efficient way to represent them and
subdivision surfaces is an appropri ate method to generate them. From
a review of subdivision surfaces we
chose the ‘!3 subdivision’ method for
mesh generation. Our main challenge
was to take advantage of the direct
edges data structure and to find the
right formulas for an efficient implementation.
We decided to use files in
the 3DS file format and convert them
to the direct edges data structures
for use in our application. We tested
our algorithm with arbitrary mesh
topologies and calculated efficiency.
Our implementation will be used in
the creation of a virtual dog head.
