Abstract
A proxy based approach for generation of level of detail. In an embodiment, the present invention generates level of detail using a proxy based approach by (1) receiving a three dimensional polygon mesh with textures; (2) extracting a set of masking primitives above a first threshold from the three dimensional polygon mesh; (3) calculating a set of proxy planes, where the calculation includes associating each proxy plane with at least one of the masking primitives; and (4) optimizing the set of proxy planes.
