NURMS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer graphics, non-uniform rational mesh smooth (NURMS) or subdivision surface technique uses a low-polygonal mesh to control the shape of the smooth surface.
[edit] Usage
NURMS are used in commercial 3D packages such as 3DS Max to perform mesh smoothing operations. The mesh smooth modifier in 3DS Max operates by applying this algorithm to a low-polygon mesh and creates a high-polygon smoothed mesh. Also an Adobe Illustrator filter that uses the same algorithm of smoothing, but only for 2d curves.
