:If the 8192x8192x8192 environment is subdivided into 16x16x16 cubes in all three directions, the total number of leaves is 512x512x512 = 134,217,728. Theoretically the data structures allow for a densely packed level where each 16x16x16 volume has some quads inside it (theoretically up to 4096, i.e., a maximum of 549,755,813,888 quads per level!).
