Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product provide the ability to utilize a distributed scene graph. A database of hashes and corresponding location identifiers (for asset locations) is maintained. An export of a scene (including scene assets) is initiated and hash values for the scene assets are computed. If the hash value is not in the database, it is added to the database. If the hash value is in the database, the corresponding location identifier is used to identify the location of the scene asset. The hash value and corresponding location identifier are stored in a scene graph file that is traversed. During the traversal, for each hash value in the scene graph file, the scene asset is retrieved from the location identified in the scene graph file and processed.
