Abstract
A method and apparatus comprising computer code configured to cause a processor or processors to obtain, from a bitstream, a mesh representing an encoded volumetric data of at least one three-dimensional (3D) visual content, and decode the encoded volumetric data based on displacement vectors of vertices of the mesh, and the displacement vectors are based on a square root of three subdivision in which faces of the mesh are iteratively subdivided in a manner in which a number of subdivided faces resulting from subdividing the mesh in an iteration is less than four times a number of faces from before subdividing the mesh in the iteration.
