Check the following video to get the latest of our work-in-progress on vieWTerra MMO game project! 
Our betatesters are currently invited to choose their territories of choice among the total 20 millions of terrains available on the entire surface of the Earth and populate their own 2x2 square km pieces of land with objects, buildings and vegetation from our evergrowing user generated bank of objects, soon to be compatible with 3DS feed. 
See how our unique click and drop editor tool allows them to easily and quickly create whole cities, forests or fields and share their creations with their fellow community members!
Millions of animals are also being progressively implemented, so look out for the giant whale in the deep seas or the rare white rhino in the African savannah... sure you wouldn't like to have that one in your garden, would you?!

VWORLD presents a technical video of its work in progress on vieWTerra Application Program Interface. This API currently in Beta stage enables the user to develop its own real-time applications while benefiting from all the characteristics of VWorldTerrain technology, notably:
- a seamless rendering of the entire surface of the Earth thanks to procedural functions mixed with satellite data at various levels of resolution
- a total freedom of movement
- dynamic lights and weather systems
- free control over time by the user (pause, play backwards and forwards)
- volumetric clouds and realistic cloud cover (weekly data)
- rendering of whole forests and vegetation over the entire surface of the Globe
- world animated with Autonomous Life Forms (ALFs)
- particle system and special effects
