Subdivision surface
A hybrid surface type that provides both the smooth organic forms of NURBS modeling, and the detail and extrusion capabilities of polygonal modeling. A subdivision surface can have different levels of detail (density of control points) in different regions.
Subdivision surfaces allow you to model complex shapes from a single surface. They can have varying levels of detail (see hierarchy).
Also known as subd surface or hyper NURBS.
