Inspired by OpenGL rendering you define an "ArrayBuffer" with vertex and optionally data values, set how the values are interpreted as vertex or data[1] and then it get's passed through the pipeline of being potentially transformed in the "VertexShader"[2], the values are interpreted as block-coordinates and lastly the block to be placed may be influenced in the "FragmentShader"[3].
Of course the whole "draw triangles" thing is not as useful as it is when drawing primitives, everything is a mess, might break unintendedly, is blocking and awfully slow (64³ maps of course render a nicer result, but are even slower) - especially when using the useless animation loop, but it was a fun project testing yet again what useless stuff can be done with the possibilities provided to us.
Would be cool if someone would actually load objects and post pictures
