How Polygon Streaming Works

Polygon Streaming uses occlusion culling and adaptive levels of detail to lower bandwidth requirements while maintaining low latency. This method automatically adjusts based on network and hardware conditions, allowing complex 3D models to be rendered on devices that were previously unable to handle them. For example, if you’re working on a project with a complex 3D model, Polygon Streaming will adjust the level of detail based on your device’s capabilities, ensuring that the model is rendered smoothly and efficiently.

Feature	Description
Occlusion Culling	Removes unnecessary data from the model, reducing bandwidth requirements
Adaptive Levels of Detail	Adjusts the level of detail based on device capabilities and network conditions
Server-Side Processing	Handles complex computations on the server-side, reducing client-side workload
Client-Side Rendering	Renders the final image on the client-side, ensuring low latency and smooth performance

Benefits of Polygon Streaming

The benefits of Polygon Streaming are numerous. For one, it democratizes access to immersive graphics, allowing anyone to view and interact with high-definition 3D models, regardless of their device’s capabilities. This makes it an ideal solution for industries such as media and entertainment, engineering, industrial design, and game development.

Additionally, Polygon Streaming reduces loading times and project sizes, making it easier to work with complex 3D models. During the testing stage, the software saw up to 8x decrease in loading time and up to 81% decrease in total project size.
