/* This is done in the following steps:
 *
 * - If there are already grids in the original mesh,
 *   convert them from tangent displacement to object space coordinates.
 * - Assign data-layers to the original mesh to map vertices to a new base mesh.
 *   These data-layers store the indices of the elements in the original mesh.
 *   This way the original indices are
 *   preserved when doing mesh modifications (removing and dissolving vertices)
 *   when building the new base mesh.
 * - Try to find a lower resolution base mesh. This is done by flood fill operation that tags the
 *   center vertices of the lower level grid.
 *   If the algorithm can tag all vertices correctly,
 *   the lower level base mesh is generated by dissolving the tagged vertices.
 * - Use the data-layers to map vertices from the base mesh to the original mesh and original to
 *   base mesh.
 * - Find two adjacent vertices on the base mesh to a given vertex to map that loop from base mesh
 *   to original mesh
 * - Extract the grid from the original mesh from that loop. If there are no grids in the original
 *   mesh, build the new grid directly from the vertex coordinates by iterating in a grid pattern
 *   over them. If there are grids in the original mesh, iterate in a grid pattern over the polys,
 *   reorder all the coordinates of the grid in that poly and copy those coordinates to the new
 *   base mesh grid.
 * - Copy the new grid data over to a new allocated MDISP layer with the appropriate size to store
 *   the new levels.
 * - Convert the grid data from object space to tangent displacement.
