Complex 3D Models usually require more processing power than the average mobile device provides. A popular technique used in games and real time rendering is to substitute polygonal representations and meshes with images such as billboards, sprites, and imposters. Using a newly conceived complex 3D model simplification algorithm called Billboard Clouds, we are re-implementing the algorithm in the Java3D graphics library to reduce the processing requirements of complex models.
