> An interesting example here is Talion’s cape, which is sent to the GPU as a point cloud Wow. Interesting. I'm assuming it's not "just" a point cloud. My experience with 3D scanning and photogrammatry seems to indicate that mesh construction of an arbitrary point cloud is not the kind of thing you would try doing in real time (try "overnight"). So unless there's some magic here then at the very least the point ordering allows a huge short cut to be taken. Or is it more than that? i.e. there's a healthy chunk of metadata about the desired topology?
