Abstract
A mechanism for concurrently generating a plurality of meshes is disclosed. A region of a simulated environment for a simulation is determined. An area that bounds the region is determined. The area is decomposed into a plurality of polygons. Data identifying a first elevation layer at locations in the region and a second elevation layer at the locations in the region is accessed. At least some of the polygons are processed based on a first elevation layer metric associated with the first elevation layer and a second elevation layer metric associated with the second elevation layer to concurrently generate a first mesh and a second mesh that include the at least some of the polygons.
