Pixar's powerful new system for animating highly directible curves is designed to give animators enormous control without the overhead of managing every aspect of every control when only simple shapes or motions are required.

SuperD employs a recursive subdivision modeling interface, but without generation of troublesome extraordinary points or patch clusters at those points. The key to SuperD is generating appropriate N-sided surface patches corresponding to the mesh topology. The N-sided patches also enable G2 continuity and efficient mobile-device implementation.

Mesh colors solve the problems of texture mapping by minimizing manual labor and eliminating seams, but they are not supported by today's GPUs. This talk introduces a method for packing mesh colors into 2D textures to utilize existing graphics hardware for performing the texture-filtering operations of mesh colors.
