The process for computing the new locations of the points works as follows when the surface is free of holes:
[[Image:CatmullClark_subdiv_0.png|thumb|Starting cubic mesh; the meshes below are derived from this.]]
[[Image:CatmullClark_subdiv_1.png|thumb|After one round of the Catmull-Clark algorithm applied to a cubic mesh.]]
[[Image:CatmullClark_subdiv_2.png|thumb|After two rounds of the Catmull-Clark algorithm. As can be seen, this is converging to a surface that looks nearly spherical.]]
# for each face, a ''face point'' is created which is the average of all the points of the face.
# for each edge, an ''edge point'' is created which is the average between the center of the edge and the center of the segment made with the face points of the two adjacent faces.
