If you have things organized neatly together, you can also use pre-existing compression algorithms, like JPEG, to compress your data. That's what we're doing in Self-Organizing Gaussians [0]. There we take an unorganised (noisy) set of primitives that have 59 attributes and sort them into 59 2D grids which are locally smooth. Then we use off-the-shelf image formats to store the attributes. It's an incredibly effective compression scheme, and quite simple.
