Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards compactly incorporating texture charts into a texture atlas. Texture charts represent three-dimensional mesh segments flattened into two-dimensional shapes. In one embodiment, a texture atlas generating engine is used to generate and evaluate compactness scores of candidate placements for a texture chart. Candidate placements generally refer to the possible locations where a texture chart can be incorporated into a texture atlas. The compactness score can be based on minimizing the distance between a texture chart being incorporated into the texture atlas and the center of mass of previously incorporated texture charts within a texture atlas. In embodiments, an infinity norm can be utilized to compute such a compactness score by outputting an average length of vectors between a texture chart being incorporated into a texture atlas and the texture atlas. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
