The Subdivision Surface Suite (SSS) has been updated.  New features
include:

* The smoothness caused by the subdivision process can be adjusted.
* The SSS can now read and write PCM type 1 files.
* The user can add to the mesh with greater ease than before.
* The mesh data can be scaled, rotated, and translated.

The SSS can be found at:

John

I have an idea that you may already have thought of: A "filter" option,
which would set the position of each point to the position returned by a
macro that takes the original point as a parameter. That macro could be
redefined to anything the user wants, and applied to the entire mesh.

#macro SSSFilterMacro(point)
    (point * point.y)
#end//this could be redefined anywhere in the scene to do practically
anything


loop throught the points in the mesh doing something like:
#declare pointPos = SSSFilterMacro(pointPos);

Sorry if this is already in the SSS, I haven't had the chance to look at
it yet.

  It may not be in the SSS, but it is in the PCM macro by Colefax.

-- 
main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

Actually, I haven't.  The features are listed on the web page, which
can be found at:
