Patent ID: 8704823

Claim:
A method for facilitating creation of computer graphics, the method comprising: receiving, at one or more computer systems hosting an interactive mesh modeling application, information defining a first mesh in response to user input specified with the interactive mesh modeling application; receiving, at the one or more computer systems, a mesh generation specification for each task in a plurality of different tasks provided by the interactive mesh modeling application, a mesh generation specification corresponding to a particular task in the plurality of different tasks defining criteria of meshes for the particular task; and maintaining, with one or more processors associated with the one or more computer systems, correspondence between one or more meshes automatically generated by the interactive mesh modeling application for each task in the plurality of different tasks based on the user input specified with the interactive mesh modeling application for the first mesh and the mesh generation specifications for the task; wherein a first correspondence is maintained between the first mesh and each one of the automatically generated meshes specifying transfer of information between the first mesh and each automatically generated mesh; wherein a second correspondence is maintained between a first one of the automatically generated meshes suitable for a first task in the plurality of different tasks and a second one of the automatically generated meshes suitable for a second task in the plurality of different tasks based on a relationship between the first task and the second task, the second correspondence specifying transfer of information between the first automatically generated mesh of the first task and the second automatically generated mesh of the second task; wherein the first correspondence between the first mesh and each one of the automatically generated meshes and the second correspondence between the first automatically generated mesh of the first task and the second automatically generated mesh of the second task are maintained in a storage device associated with the one or more computer systems.
