Abstract: The present invention relates to the importance-directed geometric simplification of complex mesh-based representations of objects in virtual environments for radiosity-based global illumination simulations. By means of simplification, the time needed to solve the radiosity equation and so generate an accurate physically-based simulation can be markedly reduced. Further, geometric simplification is performed during the global illumination simulation process rather than as a preprocess step.
