Abstract
A computer implemented method for displaying details of a texture of a three-dimensional, 3D, object, wherein the texture comprises a periodic pattern, is provided. The method comprises, while zooming in on the 3D object: determining a portion of the 3D object, wherein the determined portion of the 3D object corresponds to a zoom level; displaying the determined portion of the 3D object including a corresponding portion of the texture. The method further comprises, upon the zoom level reaching a zoom-in threshold, executing a 3D to 2D transition comprising: identifying a two-dimensional, 2D, image representing the texture of the currently displayed portion of the 3D object from a set of 2D images, each 2D image of the set of 2D images representing the texture of the 3D object at a specific of portion of the 3D object, wherein at least one 2D image of the set of 2D images represents the texture of the 3D object at a plurality of portions of the 3D object; wherein a resolution of the 2D image is higher than a resolution of the texture of the portion of the 3D object at the zoom-in threshold.
