1. A method for compressing a non-manifold mesh representing a geometric object, comprising the steps of:

  • converting the non-manifold mesh to at least one manifold mesh, the step of converting including a step of storing information on how to cluster vertices;

    compressing the at least one manifold mesh; and

    compressing the information on how to cluster vertices.
