In highly tessellated models, triangles are very small compared to the entire object, representing at the same time its macro- and mesostructures. The main idea in this work is to use a visualization algorithm that is adequate to mesostructure but applied to the whole object. Tessellated models are converted into geometry textures, a geometric representation for surfaces based on height maps. In rendering time, the fine-scale details are reconstructed with LOD speed-up while preserving original quality.
