Patent number: 11816797Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to three-dimensional (3D) characters and rapidly generating 3D characters from a plurality of 3D source models. In generating the 3D characters, one or more 3D source models may be standardized, applied to a base mesh with material ID assignments, and decomposed to isolate particular polygonal mesh pieces and/or texture map feature selections denoted by the material IDs of the base mesh. The disparate isolated polygonal mesh pieces and/or texture map feature selections may be assembled in a modular fashion to compose unique 3D characters unlike any of those of the one or more 3D models. The 3D characters may be further refined through the addition of features and/or accessories, and may also be processed through machine learning algorithms to further ascertain uniqueness.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Radical Convergence Inc.Inventors: Charles Levi Metze, III, Harold Benjamin Helmich, Jacob Nathaniel Fisher, Jeffrey Michael Olson
