Animation Active Decimation

vvheris

So, there is a thing I saw a few times but i can't find it now. Basicaly it's decimation running active on an animation. It produces an intresting effect, and I can't find any examples of it.

So maybe you have seen it or even done it?

Can do this in 3ds Max with the modifier stack.

For example (not mine)

In maya you can add a reduce node after the skinning and animate the effect easily.
Mesh -> Reduce

Are you maybe thinking of DirectX11 tessellation?
