Hi, thanks for your reply.

 

I foundt the MESH demo made by CGAL developers and researchers, modifyed some code so it can be compiled in VS2005.

 

I found that it can't reading the wavefront obj file I exported from Maya 2008, I checked the ascii file but found no problem. It always shows memory access error. I checked the source code, do not know whether it was caused by my mesh - triangles and quads.

 

Because the polygon mesh maybe not perfect, owns some self intersections, so I also want to know whether CGAL CC could handle it.

 

Thanks !

The CGAL CC code takes a mesh and modifies it to a new mesh which corresponds to 1 step of CC subdivision. It does so uniformly. A certain version of the CC rules is used.

The rapid evaluation code is based on pre-evaluated (in a texture map) basis functions which are composed (using texture scale/add) at runtime using the original coarsest level control points as weights. No meshes are produced.
