Hi folks,

I've tried various combinations of "Reyes" and "Vortex" with "smoothing", "subdivision" etc, but couldn't find any concrete information on what's actually going on. Is it a trade secret?

Basically what I'd like to do is the following: I have a ca. 9000 poly figure that renders nicely in Poser when I subdivide it once in Wings. Subdividing in this case means SubD a.k.a. Catmull-Clark. Poser's Firefly renderer does something different, and meshes that work well in SubD don't necessarily in Poser. Now fixing this while working in a SubD modeler is obviously a bit tricky, but if I knew the actual algorithm, I could try to reverse it, starting from the higher res figure and thus create a modified version of my original figure that would be closer to the higher res one after one subdivision step in Poser. So, presumably, it would render better and look smoother.

I hope I made myself halfway clear. Anyway, any info on how the subdivision works?

Cheers,
Olaf
