Patent Images
1. A method for updating texture maps on a computer system corresponding to a textured, three-dimensional object, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first set of texture naps corresponding to said textures, three-dimensional object;
selecting a first orientation of said textured, three-dimensional object;
displaying in a first perspective view in a computer display said oriented, three-dimensional object;
applying supplemental data to said first perspective view of said oriented, three-dimensional object on said computer display;
merging said first set of corresponding texture maps for said three-dimensional object with said supplemental data to provide an second set of corresponding texture maps for said three-dimensional object.

Abstract
Supplemental data, as textured data, for use with geometric data to produce a display image is expanded by relating between display space and model space. A texture map storing supplemental data is enhanced by first applying new texture data as color, to an image in two dimensional display space. The locations for the data in the dimensional model space are determined and transformed into texture map space to receive the applied new texture data. Texture data is placed in the texture map by scan conversion of texels and blending.

9. A computer graphic system for updating texture maps on a computer system corresponding to a textured, three-dimensional object and having a first set of texture maps, the method comprising:
-
means for selecting a first orientation of said textured, three-dimensional object; means for displaying in a first perspective view on a computer display said oriented, three-dimensional object; means for applying supplemental data to said first perspective view of said oriented, three-dimensional object on said computer display; means for merging said first set of corresponding texture maps for said three-dimensional object with said supplemental data to provide an second set of corresponding texture maps for said three-dimensional object. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
