Where Hitler took over the world, or you had to marry a catgirl, or Cheetos were blue, or something like that.

It looks like a wave, but it goes beyond the texture area.

Yep, because the file format of the scenes and prefabs will be changed to match the engine’s needs when required, and developers don’t need to know the details, the engine will handle all changes to ensure it’s always compatible. So I don’t recommend deep digging into the file format. If you have special needs, you should go through it by yourself. ahahaha. good luck.
