Assets in a virtual environment are assigned to locations based on attributes of the locations, such as light level, temperature, etc. Attributes are determined based on simulating the virtual environment. The virtual environment can be simulated over a period of time, during which multiple attribute values can be recorded, resulting in an aggregated attribute value to better enable more immersive asset placement.

Virtual environment asset location assignment

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for projecting a 3D model defined by x, y, z coordinates onto the surface of a 2D image defined by u, v coordinates is provided. The present invention may include receiving a 3D model having a plurality of polygons, wherein certain edges are marked as seams. The present invention may include receiving input from a user, wherein the input comprises painting one or more parts of the 3D model in different colors, wherein the colors correspond with a weight of the area painted. The present invention may include unwrapping, by a processor, a 2D texture from the 3D model using a projection algorithm. The present invention may include generating a rectangular boundary around each island. The present invention may include scaling each island according to a gradient score.
