Claim 5:
6. A method performed by a server comprising:
sending, to a client device, surface light field representations of a plurality of scene elements in a 3D scene, including a first scene element;
receiving, from the client device, an indication of a dynamic behavior of a second scene element different from the first scene element;
determining whether the first scene element is visually affected by the dynamic behavior of the second scene element; and
in response to a determination that the first scene element is visually affected by the dynamic behavior of the second scene element, sending, to the client device, information defining the first scene element in a 3D asset format;
wherein the 3D asset format is a non-light-field 3D format, and wherein the surface light field representation of the first scene element includes a first mesh and wherein the information defining the first scene element in the 3D asset format comprises a second mesh, the first mesh having fewer vertices than the second mesh.
