Generating reduced resolution textured model from higher resolution model

摘要

An exemplary method for simplifying a texture of a three-dimensional model includes simplifying a first three-dimensional model to determine a second three-dimensional model. The first three-dimensional model has a higher resolution than the second three-dimensional model. The method also includes allocating a texture atlas for the second three-dimensional model. The method further includes filling in the texture atlas for the second three-dimensional model. Filling in the texture atlas may include determining a location on the second three-dimensional model corresponding to a pixel in the texture atlas for the second three-dimensional model, determining a location on the first three-dimensional model corresponding to the determined location on the second three-dimensional model, determining a color value texture mapped to the first three-dimensional model at the determined location on the first three-dimensional model, and setting the determined color value to the pixel in the texture atlas for the second three-dimensional model.
