Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus includes a communication interface configured to receive a compressed bitstream having sub-bitstreams including a base mesh sub-bitstream, a displacement sub-bitstream, and an attributes sub-bitstream. The apparatus also includes a processor operably coupled to the communication interface. The processor is configured to decode at least a portion of the compressed bitstream, wherein the processor is configured to decode a plurality of submeshes from the base mesh sub-bitstream, decode geometry data from the displacement sub-bitstream, and decode attributes data from the attributes sub-bitstream. The processor is also configured to subdivide a submesh of the plurality of submeshes to generate a subdivided submesh. The processor is also configured to reconstruct vertex positions, using the decoded geometry data, and attributes, using the decoded attributes data, of the subdivided submesh independently of decoded data corresponding to one or more other submeshes.
