Just wondering... have we ever considered using a voxel shader for the 3D model development? Something like this:

If so and denied, or denied anyway, then whatever. I just thought it was interesting. Basically it blows up 2D sprites to be 3D. This being the case, I thought about the possibilities of it being more optimized and being lighter on the server. I also wouldn't want all of the current progress the 3D developers have achieved to go to waste as their work is indeed excellent.
