Abstract
Disclosed is an improved computer system, method, and program product that has one or more input devices for receiving one or more input meshes representing a three dimensional model. The three dimensional model is capable of being represented as a 2-manifold triangular mesh. A conversion process automatically converts the input mesh to a multiresolution quadrilateral-based subdivision surface (MQSS) representation.
