Mesh boundary smoothing

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for smoothing boundaries associated with meshes of primitives. The technique involves receiving a mesh of primitives that has a mesh boundary and an initial surface, identifying a first vertex associated with the mesh boundary and having a first location, and identifying a second vertex having a second location and a third vertex having a third location. Both the second vertex and third vertex are proximate to the first vertex. The technique further involves determining a fourth location based on the second location and the third location, projecting the fourth location onto the initial surface to determine a fifth location, and moving the first vertex to the fifth location.
