Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for the creation of large hierarchical computer graphics datasets. The method comprises combination (401) of one or more primitive computer graphics data objects (400) into larger data objects, and simplifying each of the said combined data objects (402). The simplified objects are then reused (405) in further combination steps in order to increasingly create higher order objects. The created hierarchical computer graphics data set is inherently optimized for fast rendering, and a method of rendering such data is also described.
