Hi,  
I am doing research on GPGPUs.

I have checked “webgl\_gpgpu\_birds.html” and I want to do GPGPU for 3D data texture.  
However, GPUComputationRenderer seems to support only 2D data textures, but not 3D data textures?  
Please let me know.

Yes, `GPUComputationRenderer` is not compatible with 3D textures.
