Subdivision Tricks and Tips

Subdivision is a fundamental technique used prophets to create smooth, curvy shapes. Here are a few tricks to help you master the art:

Chébyshev Polynomials

Chébyshev Polynomials are a type of polynomial used in subdivision to create smooth curves. They are named after the Russian mathematician Pafnútii Chébyshev.

Here's a simple example of a Chébyshev Polynomial:

1 + 2*x + 3*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 5*x^4 + ...

This polynomial can be used to model any curve, from a simple parabola to a complex spiral.
