  optannote = {Highly detailed geometric models are rapidly becoming commonplace
               in computer graphics. These models, often represented as complex
               triangle meshes, challenge rendering performance, transmission
               bandwidth, and storage capacities. This paper introduces the
               progressive mesh (PM) representation, a new scheme for storing
               and transmitting arbitrary triangle meshes. This efficient,
               lossless, continuous-resolution representation addresses several
               practical problems in graphics: smooth geomorphing of
               level-of-detail approximations, progressive transmission, mesh
               compression, and selective refinement. In addition, we present a
               new mesh simplification procedure for constructing a PM
               representation from an arbitrary mesh. The goal of this
               optimization procedure is to preserve not just the geometry of
               the original mesh, but more importantly its overall appearance as
               defined by its discrete and scalar appearance attributes such as
               material identifiers, color values, normals, and texture
               coordinates. We demonstrate construction of the PM representation
               and its applications using several practical models.},
