Abstract
A machine can be specially configured to generate one or more atlases that include two-dimensional texture maps and their corresponding UV maps from a three-dimensional object, compress the atlases, decompress the atlases, store the atlases, access the atlases, communicate the atlases, apply the texture maps from the atlases to a three-dimensional model, or otherwise process the atlases, the texture maps, the UV maps, or any suitable combination thereof. The atlases, texture maps, UV maps, or any suitable combination thereof can be generated, compiled or otherwise created by the machine in a manner that is computationally efficient to compress and decompress using video compression and decompression techniques.
