Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide a view of a three-dimensional (3D) environment in which virtual content is presented. For example, an example process may include obtaining virtual content and positioning the virtual content within a view of a 3D environment by determining on-screen content and off-screen content, positioning the on-screen content on a virtual screen within the 3D environment, and positioning off-screen content outside of the virtual screen within the 3D environment. The method may further include presenting the view of the 3D environment including a presentation of the on-screen content on the virtual screen and the off-screen content outside of the virtual screen.

Positioning content within 3D environments

A method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors and a non-transitory memory. The method includes obtaining hair curve data that represents a plurality of hair strands. Each of the plurality of hair strands includes a respective plurality of hair points. The method includes projecting the plurality of hair strands to a hair mesh that is associated with a virtual agent. The method includes rendering a first subset of the plurality of hair strands in order to generate a hair texture based on a corresponding portion of the projection. The method includes rendering the hair texture in association with the virtual agent in order to generate a display render. In some implementations, the method includes changing the number of hair strands rendered during a particular rendering cycle, enabling dynamic generation of hair textures across rendering cycles.
