Application Architecture for Collaborative Terrain Editing
Abstract— Generating a massive terrain in a 3D game can be exhaustive and costly. Artists as the creator of
the content, are required to collaborate with the game designers and testers to be able to create a high quality
and playable terrain. Hence, it is important to create a system that allows involving parties to collaborate
efficiently. In this paper, we propose a software architecture that allows clients to collaborate in real-time to
create a 3D terrain. The system allows multiple users using multiple devices to work on a single content
concurrently. Our architecture uses web technologies such as WebGL and WebSocket to allow the solution
to be ran on any devices with modern browsers. We present the functional feature and technological aspect of
the future developed application.
