My current challenge: getting a 512x256x512 scan of the world to render fast *and* get from the server without bringing it down

Can you do all the culling of blocks etc server-side and essentially send a compressed 'shell' of information?

Note that I'm already compressing the data (RLE compression)

I see, so where are your bottlenecks right now?

The bottleneck is the server trying to calculate and send over the entire scan at once. That's a HUGE network packet

Aah right. Is the calculation the pain, or is it the huge packet? Trickling the data over sounds to be a sensible thing to me though.

It's be cool if it trickled over almost like quadtiles though so the hologram resolved like a progressive jpeg

I'm planning to let it 'trickle in' plane by plane starting at the bottom

The calculation is not too bad. Mostly the size of the data
