Abstract:
A method for scaling 3D graphics of a 3D animated content based on characteristics of a particular target machine playing the 3D animated content, the animated content including a 3D object tagged with a scalability tag identifying a particular type of machine in which the 3D object is suitable for display, the method comprising:tagging a first 3D object associated with a first CPU power with a first scalability tag; tagging a second 'D object associated with a second CPU power with a second scalability tag; storing in a data store the first 3D object and the second 3D object; detecting the CPU power of a target machine; searching the data store for a 3D object having a scalability tag associated with the detected CPU power; selecting either the first 3D object or the second 3D object based on the detected CPU power; and displaying the selected 3D object on the target machine.
