Abstract
A method, device, and computer-readable storage medium for generating a proxy mesh are disclosed. The method includes: receiving a reference mesh comprising a polygonal mesh that is a computer representation of a three-dimensional object; receiving a smoothed mesh corresponding to the reference mesh; selecting a given vertex in the smoothed mesh; identifying neighbor vertices of the given vertex in the smoothed mesh; for each neighbor vertex of the given vertex, determining a nearest location on the reference mesh overlaid on the smoothed mesh; determining an average position of the nearest locations on the reference mesh for the neighbor vertices of the given vertex; setting a new location of a vertex in a smoothed output polygonal mesh corresponding to the given vertex to the average position; and outputting the smoothed output polygonal mesh as a proxy mesh for the reference mesh.
