System, method and computer program product for automatic optimization of 3D textured models for network transfer and real-time rendering

A computer-implemented method of automatic optimization of 3D textured models, the method comprises the steps of:

• extracting with at least one processor from a 3D textured model composed of a plurality of meshes, a 3D geometry and a plurality of textures;
• by using with the at least one processor a first set of target parameters from a database of parameters, wherein the database comprises target parameters and optimal parameters predefined for target applications and target devices, applying an aggregating algorithm on the 3D geometry to obtain an aggregated 3D geometry, and applying a simplification algorithm on the aggregated 3D geometry to obtain a plurality of simplified 3D geometry versions;
• by using with the at least one processor a second set of target parameters from the database of parameters, applying a degradation algorithm on the plurality of textures to obtain a plurality of degraded texture versions;
• serializing with the at least one processor the plurality of simplified 3D geometry versions with the plurality of degraded textures versions to obtain a plurality of serialized 3D data content;
• and
• by using with the at least one processor a set of optimal parameters, the optimal parameters being selected from the database of parameters for a target application and a target device, generating an optimized 3D textured model from a simplified geometry and a degraded texture, the optimized 3D textured model being optimized for real-time rendering in the target application of the target device.
