point cloud rendering and filling algorithm (no geometry instanced etc)

Would be good to have a gpu filling algorithm for point clouds. This could negate the need for topology, uv maps, and save a lot of memory. Materials could also be applied on a per points level using vertex paint, sculpting would no longer require dynamic remeshing etc.

Check this video out to see what I mean (particularly the filling algorithm at around 46 seconds):

Must be a good idea, just found that sony bought the company who made nurulize last year:
