Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide a view of a three-dimensional (3D) environment including a time-varying rendering of an object. An example process may include generating a representation including one or more sheets representing an object, and the one or more sheets representing aspects of one or more meshes partially representing a 3D appearance of the object based on multiple viewpoints and multiple temporal representations. Generating the representation may include obtaining images of the object from the multiple viewpoints within a pre-defined region, generating the one or more meshes of polygons based on the images and generating the one or more sheets based on the one or more meshes. The method may further include providing a view of a 3D environment including a time-varying rendering of the object that is rendered based on the one or more sheets representing the object.
