Subdivision algorithm is used to fit a high resolution mesh to a low resolution mesh that undergoes Physics simulation. This reduces computational costs (e.g. due to simulation, collision detection etc) while maintaining a smooth appearance in real-time.

ABOUT ME

Houdini FX TD
Double Negative
I am a Technical Director with strong interests in both the tech and artistic side of things. My life evolves round visual effects, photography, software engineering, tools programming and generally anything that looks and sounds cool.
I have done a variety of CG programming previously, including fluid simulations, muscle systems, soft/rigid bodies, raytracing etc. These theoretical and programming knowledge complement the visual works that I do as a TD in the VFX industry.
