ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 26 -- United States Patent no. 12,400,403, issued on Aug. 26, was assigned to Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (Burbank, Calif.).
"Heterogenous geometry caching for real-time rendering of images of fluids" was invented by Jason Nadro (Riverside, Ill.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for simulating fluid surfaces in real-time in response to user input includes detecting interactive conditions triggering insertion of a heterogeneous mesh sequence in a 3D model sequence for rendering, fetching ones of the heterogenous mesh sequence from a computer memory, inserting the successive members in corresponding representations of the 3D model sequence in a computer memory, a...
