Abstract
Embodiments are described for a method for processing textures for a mesh comprising quadrilateral polygons for real-time rendering of an object or model in a graphics processing unit (GPU), comprising associating an independent texture map with each face of the mesh to produce a plurality of face textures, packing the plurality of face textures into a single texture atlas, wherein the atlas is divided into a plurality of blocks based on a resolution of the face textures, adding a border to the texture map for each face comprising additional texels including at least border texels from an adjacent face texture map, and performing linear interpolation of a trilinear filtering operation on the face textures to resolve resolution discrepancies caused when crossing an edge of a polygon.
