[Bf-committers] [Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [22177] branches/blender2.5/blender/source /blender/makesrna/intern/rna_modifier.c: Renamed Subsurf > Subdivision Surface

[joe]

I'd suggest "Subdivision Surface (Subsurf)".  The problem is so many
blender people use the word "subsurf", that it seems bound to cause
quite a lot of confusion for new users.

Additionally, the prefix 'sub' (meaning 'lower' or 'under'), as well as the word 'surf' (meaning water foam / a water sport) really mean completely different things on their own, making 'subsurf' a terrible abbreviation.
