hmmm. They will have to be arranged in sets of three, because it is made to
subdivide triangles.
You probably will have to modify it a lot because it doesn't take into
consideration any normals information.
And I think it just works this fine on this example becauseall the triangles
sub-divided have the 3 sides with almost the same length, but you can try it
with trinagles with different proportions (I havn't tryed it yet)

The points here appear at the surface of the sphere because the sphere is
centered at the origin and I translate the point into a distance from the
center of the sphere equal to the radius of the sphere (in this case 1).


Best regards.
