Notes:
Subdivision algorithms have emerged recently as a powerful and useful technique inmodeling free-form surfaces. Subdivision algorithms exited at present however, being theirdisadvantages, can’t meet the demand of wide application in modeling surfaces and don’t stillbelong to a general theory. In this paper, a general subdivision algorithm is presented which is ageneral conclusion inferred from classical Catmull-Clark subdivision algorithm and can produceexisting subdivision algorithm by selecting reasonable vertical weights and horizontal weights. Thesubdivision algorithm is an ideal resolution for keeping shape feature such as crease, corner and dartcontrast to all existing subdivision algorithms, it also have the advantage of flexible weightsselection, easily control of shape and high compute speed. Therefore, the algorithms are extensivelyapplicable for shape modeling in computer aided geometric design, industrial prototype design andreverse engineering
