    TerraLand comes with a streaming system for such large environments but it can only stream terrain tiles and creates them from scratch in runtime, but it comes with sample scenes to access streaming terrains for any kind of runtime item placement or other manipulations. You can get started about it here:

    I'm making an underwater app, and wanting to get all underwater data. (2 part question) the intent is to place a starting lat/long go to that location, generate a tile of water+underwater then while submerged find objects randomly placed by scripts, but there is no limit as to where one can go underwater i.e. can go from brazil to congo underwater.
    1. Can your server hold that much underwater data/bathymetry? (as a corollary, where can I get that data) I understand the level of detail will dictate how much data... but say 50m?
    2. Is this possible with your software? (server can be on same machine or another machine)

    First of all, as you probably know underwater (bathymetry) data is not high resolution and detailed as the above water elevations and it varies in different regions of Earth so in most cases it won't be practical, however, it may be possible that it suits your needs.

    When you have the package, you can simply check various demo scenes for streaming scenes and generated cache servers can be in a local hard drive or an online location. The current streaming system in TerraLand 3 only streams terrain tiles and you can simply use any runtime scripts to place items on tiles. TL3 comes with demo streaming scenes with a simple script which places objects on streaming tiles for your reference.

    Watch this video tutorial to get started about streaming in TL3 where we explain it in the middle:

    In addition, we are working on a new product which comes with an advanced streaming system which can stream any assets in scene and is the recommended solution to produce your streaming scenarios. Find more info about them through the following videos:
