The high performance of the GPU and the increasing use of its programming mechanisms have stimulated several graphic applications of virtual reality to explore the potential of this device to achieve higher levels of realism. Studies have emerged with a focus on refining the silhouette of geometric meshes, seeking to express better the surface of three-dimensional objects being represented. The type of refining can be applied, for example, a fabric softening raw an avatar by means of an interpolation curve on their surface faces. Basic idea is to make an adaptive mesh discretization of the object and then generate a new silhouette using this discretization. Previous methods are analyzed and improvements are presented which together form the proposed method. The performance obtained is superior due to a better exploitation of parallelism of the GPU, and the proposed technique works well enough with existing mesh without the need to design new models for this.
