toxi.geom.mesh.subdiv.NormalDisplacementSubdivision

public class NormalDisplacementSubdivision
extends DisplacementSubdivision

This subdivision strategy splits an edge in two equal halves at its mid point. The midpoint itself is being displaced, however, in the average direction of face normals associated with this edge. The displacement amount is configurable as fraction of the original edge length. So given that:

 M = edge midpoint
 N = averaged normal vector
 l = edge length
 a = displacement amplification factor
 
 M' = M + N * a * l
