Subdivision surfaces have emerged as a powerful representation for surface modeling and design. They address important limitations of traditional spline-based methods, such as the ability to handle arbitrary topologies and to support multiscale editing operations. In this paper we survey existing subdivision-based modeling methods with emphasis on interactive tools for styling and decoration of 3D models.
