yes

Not usually recommended though as a single mesh will render in full regardless of how much is visible.

If you break it up into components then blitz will automatically cull what isn't in view of the camera.

Is it necessary to be ONE mesh?.
You can use a droplet program.
Among others you can take a look to Unlimited Drop here:

In my site you can read a quite detailed tutorial on how to load all objects of a scene created with Unlimited Drop

Are you sure about that? That's very bad if Blitz culls everything in one like that.

If it is loaded as an animmesh then blitz will cull children which are out of view. If is loaded as a mesh then blitz will draw the lot.

That's what I thought.
