METHOD AND SYSTEM OF STORAGE OF DATA FOR DRAWING THREE-DIMENSIONAL GRAPHIC OBJECTS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G06T17/30 G06T15/08 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: computer way of creation of heights maps for drawing on the computing device of the three-dimensional graphic object possessing a nonmonotonic surface is offered. According to the method, based on the standard coordinates of the three-dimensional graphic object, the surface of the three-dimensional graphic object is created. Next, a first reference loop is created on the surface of the three-dimensional graphic object in such a way that the first reference loop is completely located in the first imaginary reference plane intersecting the three-dimensional graphic object. A first set of intersecting elements is applied to the surface of the three-dimensional graphic object in such a way that the crossing elements from the first set of intersecting elements intersect the first reference loop at the respective intersection points at predetermined intervals.

EFFECT: minimizing the memory costs by storing the coordinates of three-dimensional graphic objects in the form of height maps.
