Abstract
A method, device, and computer-readable storage medium for generating a simplified mesh. The method includes: receiving an input mesh that is a polygonal mesh; identifying one or more submeshes of the input mesh; fitting a set of shapes to the one or more submeshes to determine which shapes approximate which submeshes within a threshold value; for each submesh that is associated with at least one shape that approximates the submesh within the threshold value, generating a set of proxy levels-of-detail (LODs) for the submesh, wherein each proxy LOD is a polygonal mesh corresponding to the shape that approximates the submesh; generating for each submesh, a set of traditionally simplified levels-of-detail (LODs) based on simplifying the submesh; and generating the simplified mesh based on selecting one proxy LOD or one traditionally simplified LOD for each submesh of the one or more submeshes.
