Realtime interaction and production-specific visualization implemented through plugin mechanism enhance the existing systems like the virtual studio software 3DK. This work presents an algorithm which can dynamically manage textures of high resolution by prefetching them depending on their requirement in memory and map them on a procedural mesh in realtime. The main goal application of this work is the virtual representation of a flight over a landscape as part of weather reports in virtual studios and the interaction by the moderator.}, language = {en} }
