Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a collage of two-dimensional (2D) renderings that represent a three-dimensional (3D) model, the method comprising: recording a plurality of edit records in an editing log, wherein each edit record reflects an edit operation applied to one or more vertices associated with the 3D model and reflects a viewpoint implemented to render the 3D model during the edit operation; generating a plurality of segments, wherein each segment represents a different surface region of the 3D model and includes plurality of vertices associated with the different surface region; selecting a first edit record in the plurality of edit records corresponding to a first segment in the plurality of segments, wherein the first edit record reflects a first edit operation applied to one or more vertices associated with the 3D model and included within the first segment and reflects a first viewpoint implemented to render the 3D model during the first edit operation; and generating a first 2D rendering of the 3D model that represents the first segment relative to a perspective associated with the first viewpoint for inclusion in the collage of 2D renderings that represent the 3D model.
