These pieces are triangular meshes annotated by designers with connectors marking potential links, and bounding volumes indicating where overlaps should be avoided. In this article, we present a method for automatically generating connectors and bounding volumes from generic non-manifold triangular meshes for use with the Snappable Meshes algorithm, minimizing artist/designer work, while encouraging iteration of map piece design, an essential part of successful environment generation.application/pdfengclosedAccessPROCEDURAL CONTENT GENERATIONGERAÇÃO PROCEDIMENTAL DE CONTEÚDOSCOMPUTER GAMESJOGOS DE COMPUTADORCOMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRYGEOMETRIA COMPUTACIONALINFORMÁTICACOMPUTER SCIENCEconferenceObject
