Alright I don't know if anyone has posted about this yet,

but in #bilge there has been a discussion about polygons in games possibly being substituted by some kind of 'point cloud'.

Pros: uses the same amount of memory as polygons and you can have better detail instead of square trees (yes, we all know those)

Imagine! No more polygons in games!

You know, there will be octet-bit machines in the future, able to process much more and much faster. One of our costudents at college gave a presentation about it.
