1. Will it be possible to build Lumen-needed data for runtime procedurally-generated meshes?

First of all, our generated meshes are guaranteed to be “modular”, and can satisfy whatever future restrictions because we have full control (which is opposite of many teams, who have difficulties), so it’s likely to be very suitable for Lumen.

We would like to add support for Lumen’s import time generated data (card placement, Mesh SDF generation) for procedurally generated meshes. As you note the two main problems would be around modularity of the meshes, for Lumen’s Surface Cache, and polycount of the meshes. I’m not sure when we’ll get to it though.
