    Right, but as I mentioned unless you have an actual infinite number of variations of every player model (impossible, you can’t store infinite variations in fixed storage), you’re going to need the full player model in GPU memory and something client side will need to do the chopping with knowledge of the players origin coordinates, it’s impossible to determine the shape of and position the chopped shape without sending that information to the client. Streaming graphics data from a server into even a top of the line GPU would be a prohibitive hit to game performance when milliseconds matter.

    It’s not processing power that’s the problem, it’s the speed of light
