Abstract
Techniques are provided for determining a stopping condition for 3D model decimation process. In an embodiment, a size of the 3D model may be determined based on a minimum oriented bounding box, wherein the 3D model includes vertices, edges, and faces that define a shape of a physical object. A smallest dimension value of the minimum oriented bounding box may be selected to represent the size of the 3D model. The selected dimensions value may be multiplied by a decimation factor to generate a stopping condition value. A decimation process may be performed on the 3D model until all remaining elements (e.g., edges) of the 3D model have an error value that is equal to or greater than the stopping condition value. As such, the level of detail of the 3D model is simplified while also preserving the shape of the 3D model.
