Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating a mesh from an implicit surface for use in animation includes obtaining a first data collection that corresponds to an implicit surface included in a spatial domain, wherein a mesh is to be created for the implicit surface. The method includes recursively subdividing the spatial domain into voxels to identify those of the voxels that the implicit surface intersects. The method includes generating the mesh for the implicit surface using the identified voxel faces. The voxels may be stored in a sparse voxel array and the subdivision can be performed in branches, wherein only a currently subdivided branch is held in memory.
