How does the Catmull-Clark subdivision approach ensure a balance between maintaining the structure of a regular quad mesh and achieving smoother, more detailed surfaces?

@AnikethPrasad Good question! Catmull-Clark include additional face points based on the average of all original points in the same face and perturbs the vertices based on a weighted average of its original vertex location (P), average (F) of all n neighboring face points, and the average (R) of all n midpoints on neighboring edges. Hence, it is able to preserve the original structure. It makes the surface smoother by subdiving each face to smaller segments (mesh elements).
