System and Method for Optimizing Data Transfers and Rendering of Digital Models

A computer-implemented process for rendering a model having a resolution based on a view from a camera of a venue for the rendered model, said process comprising the steps of:

• preloading digital assets for a low resolution rendition of the model;
• preloading digital assets for a medium resolution rendition of the model;
• preloading digital assets for a high resolution rendition of the model;
• zooming the camera in and out in response to an input;
• determining if the camera view comprises a long range view, and if yes, rendering a low resolution model based on said low resolution digital assets;
• determining if the camera view comprises a medium range view, and if yes, rendering a medium resolution model based on said low resolution digital assets;
• and
• determining if the camera view comprises a close range view, and if yes, rendering a high resolution model based on said low resolution digital assets.

A computer-implemented process for reducing fidelity of a model being rendered, said process comprising the steps of:

• loading a model, said model comprising a mesh having a plurality of polygons and a plurality of vertices;
• loading said mesh into a plurality of regions utilizing a bounding box;
• dividing said bounding box into smaller and equal boxes;
• determining a density for said mesh in said bounding box;
• generating a reference image of said mesh in said bounding box;
• reducing the number of said plurality of polygons and the number of said plurality of vertices in said mesh, and generating a reduced resolution mesh;
• generating an image of said reduced resolution mesh;
• comparing said reduced resolution mesh to said reference image and determining if said reduced resolution mesh matches said reference image within a predetermined setting;
• if said reduced resolution mesh matches said reference image, then reducing the number of said plurality of polygons and the number of said plurality of vertices in said reduced resolution mesh, and generating another reduced resolution mesh;
• comparing said another reduced resolution mesh to said reference image and determining if said another reduced resolution mesh matches said reference image within a predetermined setting;
• if said another reduced resolution mesh does not match said reference image, then utilizing said another reduced resolution mesh for the reduced fidelity model, and uploading said another reduced resolution mesh to a server.

A computer program product for reducing fidelity of a model being rendered, said computer program product comprising:

• a storage medium configured to store computer readable instructions;
• said computer readable instructions including instructions for,
• loading a model, said model comprising a mesh having a plurality of polygons and a plurality of vertices;
• loading said mesh into a plurality of regions utilizing a bounding box;
• dividing said bounding box into smaller and equal boxes;
• determining a density for said mesh in said bounding box;
• generating a reference image of said mesh in said bounding box;
• reducing the number of said plurality of polygons and the number of said plurality of vertices in said mesh, and generating a reduced resolution mesh;
• generating an image of said reduced resolution mesh;
• comparing said reduced resolution mesh to said reference image and determining if said reduced resolution mesh matches said reference image within a predetermined setting;
• if said reduced resolution mesh matches said reference image, then reducing the number of said plurality of polygons and the number of said plurality of vertices in said reduced resolution mesh, and generating another reduced resolution mesh;
• comparing said another reduced resolution mesh to said reference image and determining if said another reduced resolution mesh matches said reference image within a predetermined setting;
• if said another reduced resolution mesh does not match said reference image, then utilizing said another reduced resolution mesh for the reduced fidelity model, and uploading said another reduced resolution mesh to a server.
