ABSTRACT:
In a real-time computer-image generation system, processing resources for manipulating polygons that define objects are generally limited. This results in a trade-off with respect to the amount of detail to be displayed in an object versus the number and type of objects to be displayed. The value of a predetermined viewing criterion is used to determine when an object can be represented by a single polygon. The single polygon is rotatable about a predetermined number of axes for maintaining a predetermined relationship with respect to a view point. Since processing resources are saved by using a single polygon, additional objects and/or more detail may be included in a display.
