10 years ago we can actually get the savings from the geometry shader back by using a uniform array! http://www.reddit.com/r/rust_gamedev/comments/2fmfkz/playform_gets_a_little_more_voxely_and_saves_a/cke2m98
since 603d3f28504993439f409a92e716641572951f51, cube vertices only contain positions again. Send the 8 vertices to VRAM, and use indices to construct a triangle strip.
