Abstract: The present embodiments provide a system for graphically rendering an object. This system operates first by pre-processing a geometry mesh for the object offline, wherein the geometry mesh is partitioned into a set of patches, and wherein each patch is bounded by a bounding box. The system then builds a multi-resolution representation for each of the set of patches. Next, during real time rendering, the system deforms the bounding boxes associated with the set of patches through superposition of object motions in each frame weighted by a set of predetermined mesh-skinning parameters. For each deformed bounding box, the system computes a geometry level-of-detail (LOD) value based on a projected area of the deformed bounding box in screen space. The system next deforms the object through a set of mesh skinning operations. The system then renders the deformed object based on the computed geometry LOD values for the set of patches and the multi-resolution representation for the geometry mesh.
