  • Method for hi-fidelity graphic rendering of three-dimensional objects
    Patent number: 5844562
    Abstract: A system for high-speed, high-fidelity three-dimensional graphic rendering includes representing an object in three-dimensional form using a plurality of polygons. Selected views of the multi-polygon rendering are then transformed into single image mapped polygons using texture maps to represent the three-dimensional features of the object. The single image mapped polygons are dynamically displayed in place of the multi-polygon renderings for the selected views, without requiring any outside user input. This system allows increased rendering speed and smoother animation without sacrificing graphic detail.
