Any compression gurus out there? I was wondering about the possibility of compression and decompression of vertex data... kind of like texture compression, but for meshes.. any ideas on how this is/might be done? I used to be indecisive. Now I''m not so sure...

I guess it must be a lossless compression. maybe a huffman tree algorithm ?!?

You could pack floats in chars or shorts...

Maybe a simple run-length encoding would be sufficient. It''s easy to implement.
