Different kind of mesh, need to identify.

Hi everyone,

Hope someone can help me out here. I recently downloaded a model. Unlike other mesh, This is bit different. The curve looks great and there are tiny dotted edges.
The smooth works perfectly and accurately to what the model is as if each smooth was precisely set.

Does anybody know what kind of mesh this is? and how is this made?

Thanks

Regards,
Muhammad

It's a subdivision mesh done in Maya or any other software that has SubD algorithm,Open Subdivision.

The dotted line is a display preference. Display>Polygons>Face Triangles

Also Mesh Component Dislpay>Display Edges>Soft/Hard or toggle shift rightclick your model and choose Soften/Harden edges. The Preferences also under Polygons.
