I have a model that uses “smooth meshes” (not NURBS or patches) so I need to recreate the subdivisions that Maya uses to reproduce the model in my application.

What is the algorithm for making smooth meshes?

The smoothness parameters are retrieved using these calls:

KFbxMesh::EMeshSmoothness lSmoothness = lSmoothness = pMesh->GetMeshSmoothness();

  int meshPreviewDivisionLevels = pMesh->GetMeshPreviewDivisionLevels() ;

  int meshRenderDivisionLevels = pMesh->GetMeshRenderDivisionLevels() ;

  bool bDisplaySubdivisions = pMesh->GetDisplaySubdivisions() ;

lSmoothness = eFINE

meshPreviewDivisionLevels = 2;
meshRenderDivisionLevels = 2;
bDisplaySubdivisions = false;
