[Algorithms] Problem: ProgMesh Texturing

[Daniel R. <dan...@ho...>]

...hi guys,

i've got a BIG problem with progressive meshes ...

normaly our 3d designer are modelling the complete
modell in one piece so it's easy for our 3d engine
to create a progressive mesh (@ this point simply
via the d3dx library function) ...

now our designers are texturing the modells by
creating one textures and simply splitting/breaking
each vertex into multiple so they're able to move
each triangle on a special position on the texture
(this wil create some special effects when mipmaping
  but this is no real problem for us...)

the real problem now is that: first d3dxprogmesh
has mulitple problems with these multiple uv coords
... (broken verts / multiple verts with the same
x/y/z position and different uv coords)

so ... now my question ... how do i texture a complex
modell / mesh so i can use it as a progressive mesh

...and tips would be nice ... my first idea was some
sort of polar coordinates spherecial wraping to begin
with ... or more badly just to split the mesh into
multiples ... which would lower the use of the
progmesh concept ...

thx, re...@ma...
