An encoder includes a processor and a memory. The encoder generates a first plurality of levels of detail (LODs) and associated first type of vertex split records, each of the first type of vertex split records associated with an LOD of the first plurality of LODs is generated using a first type of collapse operator. The encoder initiates a switch from using the first type of collapse operator to a second type of collapse operator in response to a switching condition being satisfied. The encode further a second plurality of LODs and associated second type of vertex split records, each of the second type of vertex split records associated with a LOD of the second plurality of LODs is generated using the second type of collapse operator.
