Claim 4:
5. The non-transitory, computer-readable, medium of claim 1, wherein the program instructions, when executed on or across the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
generate respective atlases comprising attribute patch images for a plurality of versions of the 3D object or scene for a plurality of moments in time;
generate mesh-based representations for the plurality of versions of the 3D object or scene for the plurality of moments in time;
group the respective atlases and corresponding mesh-based representations for a sub-set of the plurality of moments in time into a group of frames;
consistently remove one or more vertices or edges from the respective versions of respective ones of the mesh-based representation at different ones of the moments in time included in the group of frames;
perform the distortion analysis for simplified ones of the respective versions of the mesh-based representations for the different moments in time included in the group of frames that have had the one or more vertices or edges removed; and
consistently select respective simplified ones of the mesh-based representations for the different moments in time included in the group of frames such that the selected simplified ones of the respective versions of the mesh-based representations for the different moments in time included in the group of frames share a common mesh connectivity.
