This system is perfect for things that are instantiated a lot
throughout a scene.

And if you want to be even smarter you save normal data for each pixel
so that you can light the object, even in real time.

Interesting stuff; I guess the thing that would be necessary would be a
3D bitmap type, which we don't have at the moment.
