Hi Kris -
I think it depends on what method you choose to perform the subdivision of
surfaces.
I'm still using trueSpace 5.1 which I believe only implements one method of
SDS - Catmull-Clark. This method works best when smoothing a model
made up of quads, but can handle any type of facet. Another method is
Doo-Sabin, which likewise works best with quads but can handle any type
of facet. If you're working with triangles, you should probably be using the
Loop subdivision method as this is optimized (and requires) polys with only
three sides.
Can anyone tell me if the newer versions of trueSpace support more than one
method of SDS?
