Abstract
According to an example method, a system receives first data representing a polygon mesh. The polygon mesh includes a plurality of interconnected vertices forming a plurality of triangles. The system generates second data representing the polygon mesh. Generating the second data includes traversing the vertices of the polygon mesh according to a traversal order, partitioning the plurality of triangles into a set of ordered triangle groups in accordance with the traversal order, and encoding, in the second data, the set of ordered triangle groups. The system outputs the second data. A position each of the vertices in the transversal order is determined based on (i) a number of previously encoded triangles that are incident to that vertex, and/or (ii) a sum of one or more angles formed by the previously encoded triangles that are incident to that vertex.
