Abstract
A method and computer system for updating damaged-enhanced polygon meshes in a computer simulation associated to a storage module accessible to at least a first and a second decentralized simulation stations and a centralized processing unit thereof. At the first station, during the computer simulation, determining coordinates of a virtual impact on a 3D polygon mesh, computing newly formed 3D polygon mesh(es) from the virtual impact without updating the storage module and rendering damaged-enhanced image(s) of the newly formed 3D polygon mesh(es) for display from a first field of view of the first station. At the second station, receiving the coordinates of the virtual impact. At the centralized processing unit, receiving the coordinates of the virtual impact, computing the newly formed 3D polygon mesh(es) from the received coordinates independently from the first station, in non-real-time priority processing and persistently updating the storage module with newly formed 3D polygon mesh(es).
