Cloud Spawning

Cloud Spawning is not yet officially supported and current methods may break at any time.

Cloud Spawning is the term used to describe the action of spawning an item from a user's inventory programmatically.

It is popular when things need to be loaded on demand, for example to spawn in Tools through menus/gestures or for for heavy parts of an Avatar to be loaded only when required. It is also used by some avatar pedestals to keep worlds light while still allowing for a large selection of choices.

The community has developed a number of methods to achieve this, however as there is no official support there is no guarantee that these method will continue to work in future releases.

There are plans to provide a official version of cloud spawning, you can track the current status in this GitHub issue.

Until then, the methods can be found here: Tutorial:Cloud spawning
