US Patent Issued to Roblox on Oct. 7 for "Method and system for generating polygon meshes approximating surfaces using iteration for mesh vertex positions" (Canadian, Croatian Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,437,479, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to Roblox Corp. (San Mateo, Calif.).

"Method and system for generating polygon meshes approximating surfaces using iteration for mesh vertex positions" was invented by Alen Ladavac (Zagreb, Croatia) and Morgan Samuel McGuire (Vancouver, Canada).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Generating polygon meshes that approximate surfaces using iteration for mesh vertex positions. In some implementations, a method includes receiving input data that represents a surface distinguishing a volume, where a voxel grid includes the surface. Particular voxels of the voxel grid are identified, which the surface intersects...
