- This paper forms part of a larger project on reconciling the two principal mathematical mechanisms for representing 3D surfaces in a computer: NURBS are the standard 3D surface representation in Computer-Aided Design (CAD); Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces are the standard in computer animation and visual effects. The novelty of the work reported here is that it allows automated conversion of one to the other. This conversion is a challenging and long-standing problem and this paper provides a good first cut at a solution.
