Abstract

Technology is described for distributing an environment event stream and rendering of video for a three dimensional (3D) virtual environment using a distributed system. A method may include receiving an environment event stream from a first computing node. The environment event stream may be used by a virtual environment engine to modify a 3D virtual environment. A destination computing node for the environment event stream may be determined using a destination address stored by a broadcast repeater. Another operation may be sending the environment event stream from the broadcast repeater to the destination computing node at the destination address. In addition, a video of an environment copy of the 3D virtual environment may be rendered as modified by the environment event stream from a perspective of a virtual camera to provide rendering of the 3D virtual environment that is distributed.
