This disclosure is directed to a method of composing an animation scene in a computer-generated animation. The method includes receiving a user input requesting to perform an operation on at least one computer-generated asset in the animation scene. The method also includes determining, based on the user input, a type of operation and at least one attribute associated with the at least one computer-generated asset in the animation scene. The method further includes, in accordance with the determination of the type of operation and the at least one attribute, processing representations of one or more instances of the at least one computer-generated asset; and projecting the processed representations of the one or more instances of the at least one computer-generated asset onto the animation scene to perform the operation. The method further includes generating metadata associated with the manipulated representations of the one or more instances of the at least one computer-generated asset.
