A system for providing interactive views of 3-dimensional models with surface properties is disclosed. The system provides a compact representation of a 3D model and its surface features and provides for efficiently viewing and interacting with the model using dynamically switched texture maps. The compact representation is beneficial for transmission of the model across a network as well as for local storage of the model in the computer memory. The dynamically switched texture maps allow for more accurate surface details on the 3D model, as well as speedy interaction between a user and the 3D model.
