Existing work:
Blockcompression (ASTC format offers 3D block compression). However: Even the newest version of KTX (2020) does not offer supercompression for 3D (see https://github.com/KhronosGroup/3D-FormatsGuidelines/blob/main/KTXDeveloperGuide.md)'
Open VDB (since December 2020) for sparse models.
Extend 2D compression shemes to 3D. JPEG uses DCT. Come up with own ideas.

Problem: Texture a 3D Mesh seamlessly with a 2D Texture
Step 1: Convert 2D texture to 3D solid texture http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/publikationen/Kopf2007SolidTextureSynthesis/
Step 2: Use the 3D texture to create a 2D texture atlas for the 3D Mesh

Use k-Buffer with Tiled Resources(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d11/tiled-resources)+ Sampler Feedback.
Compare against Fragment Synchronized k-buffer https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/2556700.2556702 (ground truth), Variable k-buffer https://diglib.eg.org/bitstream/handle/10.2312/egsh20171005/021-024.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=n
