Papers for suggested projects:
See Adi Levin's website for papers on- tri-quad (bottom most)
- combined subdivision (4th paper)
- quasi-interpolation (Loop: 7th paper; Catmull-Clark: 8th paper)
Peters. One example is the bottom most paper at
http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/SurfLab/pre99-papers/jorgs_papers.html.
Note that these are not about subdivision but about surface splines. A very
different beast but one example to see cut ratios. The Pixar paper on
creating semi-sharp creases a different way (still relevant to see the
issues) is http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=280814.280826.
The ideas for procedural
generation of surfaces are found in
http://w3.impa.br/~lvelho/spd/spd.pdf
and papers of Dr. P. (I'll let Ilja
find an example of those).

In general use http://www.citeseer.com/
to find stuff. Very handy. Also
note that our library
has unrestricted access (through their web portal) to
the ACM digitla library
which contains everything in Siggraph and ACM TOG
(for example).
