Detailed Description

Subdiv Surface function set for dependency node data.

MFnSubdData allows the creation and manipulation of Subdivision Surface data objects for use in the dependency graph.

If a user written dependency node either accepts or produces Subdivision Surfaces, then this class is used to extract or create the data that comes from or goes to other dependency graph nodes. The MDataHandle::type method will return kSubdiv when data of this type is present.

If a node is receiving a Subdivision Surface via an input attribute, the asSubdSurface method of MDataHandle can be used to access that input Subdivision Surface.

If a node is to create a Subdivision Surface and send it via an output attribute, a new MFnSubdData must be instantiated and then the create method called to build the actual data block as an MObject. This MObject should be passed to the MFnSubd::create method as the parentOrOwner parameter so that the Subdivision Surface will be constructed inside the data block. The MDataHandle::set routine is then used to pass the data block down the connection.
