Abstract
Method and computer system for rendering damaged-enhanced images in an interactive computer simulation comprising an interactive computer generated environment. During the simulation, an input is received from a user of the simulation for triggering a virtual impact having an effective radius and coordinates of the virtual impact are determined on at least one 3D polygon mesh of the interactive computer generated environment. Thereafter, simplified calculation of at least one newly formed 3D polygon mesh from the virtual impact at the coordinates is performed by removing a portion of a sphere, computed from the effective radius, from the at least one 3D polygon mesh, thereby defining the newly formed 3D polygon mesh(es). At least one damaged-enhanced image is then rendered for display of the newly formed 3D polygon mesh(es) from a field of view of the user of the interactive computer simulation.
