Modeling
The objects you want to animate are usually built using either NURBS surfaces or polygonal meshes. Complementary to these two basic geometry types, subdivision surfaces (SubDs) mix the best features of both NURBS and polygons. Maya software offers you both of these geometry types so that you can choose the method best suited to your work.
