Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress and encode data for a three-dimensional dynamic mesh. The three-dimensional dynamic mesh is compressed and signaled using a base-mesh sub-bitstream and an atlas sub-bitstream (e.g., displacement and/or attribute sub-bitstream).

Sub-mesh identifiers are included in tile headers of an atlas sub-bitstream that enable selective reconstruction of sub-meshes. A complimentary decoder decodes a compressed bitstream for the three-dimensional dynamic mesh, encoded such as by the encoder.
