That looks nice. Can you see the control mesh after subdivisions and 
modify it on the fly in your editor? It would make editing a whole lot 
easier (but needs a lot of computational muscles).
What scheme are you using for subdivisions? You might find this paper 
interesting:  http://tom.cs.byu.edu/~tom/papers/nurss.pdf. It's one way 
of preserving sharpe features. I don't know if it's the best option, but 
not too much work if you have a working Catmull-Clark.
