  • Patent number: 10019840
    Abstract: One embodiment involves receiving a fine mesh as input, the fine mesh representing a 3-Dimensional (3D) model and comprising fine mesh polygons. The embodiment further involves identifying, based on the fine mesh, near-planar regions represented by a coarse mesh of coarse mesh polygons, at least one of the near-planar regions corresponding to a plurality of the coarse mesh polygons. The embodiment further involves determining a deformation to deform the coarse mesh based on comparing normals between adjacent coarse mesh polygons. The deformation may involve reducing a first angle between coarse mesh polygons adjacent to one another in a same near-planar region. The deformation may additionally or alternatively involve increasing an angle between coarse mesh polygons adjacent to one another in different near-planar regions. The fine mesh can be deformed using the determined deformation.
