Abstract

A technique for changing the appearance of visual images mapped on a 3D object rendered by a computer includes the stepped of remapping texture coordinates to vertices of a 3D object at discrete time intervals and blending the remapped images. The control intervals are triggered by events in monitored signal such as an audio feed or a video stream. The images of the video stream can be the textures mapped to the 3D object.
