mesh_subdivide — 3D terrain op

• Data kinds: mesh → mesh

• Call: import render3d; render3d.mesh_subdivide(V, F, *, levels: 'int' = 1, target_edge=None, max_faces: 'int' = 4000000) (or ops3d.get("mesh_subdivide"))

Usage

Refine a triangle mesh → `(V, F): uniform midpoint subdivision (levels` passes,
