Method for facilitating material application for a group of objects of a computer graphic

摘要

A method for collecting, managing, manipulating, and checking data during construction of a virtual environment, and automatically re-processing the subset of data necessary to produce a resource for use by a simulation program, is provided. This method provides for the repeated application of a designated material to commonly designated elements of multiple objects. Once the material has been designated to be applied to a particular element of an object, application to other objects is facilitated by designating the common element. This method significantly reduces the amount of repetitive artist labor related to iterated operations performed and features improved error detection and indication.
