- TopMod3D is a free 3D modeling software created by Texas A&M students that allows for advanced subdivision of polygon surfaces. It has over 17,000 downloads since 2008.
- The software offers 35 preset algorithms for subdividing surfaces and 6 basic shapes for modeling. It allows for rapid modeling and has high download compression.
- Focus groups and interviews with industry professionals found that users would pay $50-100 per license and see applications in gaming, movies, and 3D printing. However, the interface and integration with other software needs further development to be commercially viable.
