ABSTRACT:
A method for control over the level of detail within a rendered object is provided. The method may be a program embodied on a machine readable medium. The method identifies a set of parent vertices defining a polygon within a rendered object. A child vertex of the set of parent vertices is generated and pushed toward a predetermined location within the anticipated contours of the rendered object. One of the parent vertices is then connected to the child vertex to generate an additional polygon. A graphics engine configured to control a level of detail in a rendered object through the generation of additional polygons in the rendered object is also provided.
