Abstract In this paper, we present a dynamic adaptive mesh library which maintains a conforming triangulation of time-varying surfaces. The user supplies an initial mesh, a surface sampling procedure, and a set of adaptation criteria. The mesh is automatically modified in order to conform to user-defined characteristics, while the surface changes over time. The mesh representation is based on a half-edge data structure without any extra storage requirements. The mesh has an underlying semiregular multiresolution structure. Furthermore, the specification of desired mesh characteristics can be based on very general adaptation rules. This scheme facilitates the development of graphics applications that manipulate triangulated surfaces. The library source code is available online.
