Abstract
Methods and techniques are provided for procedurally editing hierarchical subdivision surfaces. A procedure set and a parameter set may be received. The procedure set may include one or more produces for generating detail coefficients. The parameter set may include one or more parameters, such as granularity and sharpness, while further specifying deltas or other jitter in parameter values or locations. A hierarchical subdivision surface description can be generated based on a mesh, the procedure set, and the parameter set.
