Quote - @bantha: SubD, like any other algorithm, is "stupid". It subdivides everything, wether it's needed or not. You can build the base cage as clever as you want, when you SubD it, there still will be areas where polygons are wasted and areas left that could need a few more.

You should tell that Weta and Pixar. Gollum was done with SubD since LotR II, and Pixar should know that they included a stupid algorithm in PRenderman. Seriously, keep your opinions if you like, but don't think they are facts.
