  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MESH LEVEL OF DETAIL GENERATION
    Publication number: 20150097832
    Abstract: A system method for applying hierarchical mesh partitioning and reduction to provide efficient run-time rendering includes bounding a mesh to define a mesh volume, recursively subdividing the mesh volume a number of times, and reducing the mesh the number of times the mesh volume was subdivided to generate a plurality of level of detail meshes. The plurality of level of detail meshes is equal to the number of times the mesh volume was subdivided. Each level of detail mesh is then partitioned based on the number of times the mesh volume was subdivided.
