SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CREATING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL TEXTURE ATLAS

摘要

Systems and methods for reducing the amount of texture cache memory needed to store a texture atlas by using uniquely grouped refined triangles to create each texture atlas.

1. A method for creating a three-dimensional texture atlas, which comprises:
grouping a plurality of refined triangles into one or more groups of refined triangles using a computer processor; scanning each group of refined triangles within a three-dimensional bounding volume to form a standardized texture tile or a non-standardized texture tile; reducing an amount of computer texture cache memory required to store a texture atlas by combining each standardized texture tile to form at least one three-dimensional texture atlas; and storing each texture atlas in the computer texture cache memory.
