unlimited amount of times I was wondering, how would collision work with this? I think he'll have to go back to polygons for that...?

I remember an interview with John Carmack about new id-Tech. And he told alot about terrains that dont need polygons anymore, some kind of voxel data maybe similar to this. But he also said that animated characters still will be made from polygons. And he told something about getting into problems with shadowing this environment.

You're right, I haven't even thought about animation at all. Would probably be pretty hard as well. Still, I wouldn't know how to do collision. You can't possibly calculate the collision between every one of this points and his neighbour...?
It really bugs me how he doesn't talk about any limitations at all in the video...
