Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first viewpoint associated with a head-mounted device from the head-mounted device, accessing a 3D mesh of a virtual scene, selecting a portion of the 3D mesh based on the first viewpoint, generating an image and a corresponding depth map of the virtual scene based on the selected portion of the 3D mesh, generating a simplified 3D mesh based on the depth map, wherein the simplified 3D mesh has fewer primitives than the selected portion of 3D mesh of the virtual scene, generating a texture for the simplified 3D mesh based on the image, and sending the simplified 3D mesh and the texture to the head-mount device, wherein the simplified 3D mesh and the texture are configured to be used for rendering the virtual scene from one or more viewpoints different from the first viewpoint.
