Abstract

The systems and methods described herein improve the compression of components used to render three-dimensional models in computer-generated graphics, enabling the dynamic rendering of those three-dimensional models. In various implementations, a mesh may be compressed utilizing information obtained during decimation of the mesh. In various implementations, a texture may be compressed using similar techniques to form a continuous level of detail (LOD) of the texture. As also described herein, a three-dimensional model may be dynamically rendered based on a current scene. For example, a mesh for a three-dimensional model may be rendered based on a current desired LOD level for a vertex of the mesh and pre-defined lowest-resolution LOD levels for that vertex.
