Geometric data description

[Alex Queiroz <ventonegro@...>]

Olá,

    I'm subscribed to the OpenSceneGraph mailing list, and one of the 
authors asked for sugestions for a new native file format that is 
extensible and backwards and forward compatible. I've promptly suggested 
Lua to be used as a scene description language, for I've used it myself 
as a scene description language for a ray-tracer I've wrote. While I was 
evangelizing there I grew aware that someone will ask sooner or later if 
Lua can handle gacefully large arrays of vertices. Sure one can write 
them as a table vertices = { 0.3, 0.6, 3.6, ...}, but this is  not very 
space efficient. Will it be in byte-compiled form?
