Question Compute shader, buffer of structs with large arrays in them, can't find a way to do it

I want a buffer of structs like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. struct Chunk {
3.     int voxels[16 * 16 * 16];
4.     bool empty;
5. };
6.  
7. RWStructuredBuffer<Chunk> ChunksData;
8.  

It says my structs can only hold 2048 bytes each, so I tried to make the "voxels" array a StructuredBuffer too and the compiler also did not like that.

How should I represent this data on the GPU? Should I just use one gigantic flat buffer where every 16*16*16 elements represents a different chunk's voxels? And then have another buffer for the bools? Or is there some way I can use structs like this? Thank you.

 

Bumping this to confirm that flattening the StructuredBuffer is indeed how one should proceed with a problem like this (when datasize per struct in the StructuredBuffer is > 2048 bytes).

@captainspaceman did you solve your problem by using a large flattened buffer?

 

interested as to how is this implementable
