OpenGL Catmull-Clark Subdivision: Interactive Subdivision and Limit Position Calculation

This C++ program uses OpenGL to demonstrate Catmull-Clark subdivision. It allows users to interactively input the subdivision level ('x') and visualize the resulting subdivided mesh. The program also calculates and displays the limit positions of the vertices after 'x' subdivisions.

Note:

• To compile this program, you'll need to have OpenGL and GLUT libraries installed. Change the file extension to '.cpp' and link against these libraries during compilation.
• The program initially creates a simple quadrilateral mesh and displays both the original and subdivided mesh side-by-side for comparison.
• The program provides clear instructions to the user on how to input the subdivision level.
• The program is designed to be easily understood and modified for experimenting with different mesh models and subdivision levels.
• The calculateLimitPositions function efficiently computes the limit positions of the vertices after a given number of subdivisions. This is a fundamental concept in subdivision surface theory and is used to determine the final shape of the surface after infinite subdivisions.
