Abstract
Embodiments can generate content (e.g., a feature film, virtual reality experience) in a virtual environment (e.g., a VR environment). Specifically, they allow fast prototyping and development of a virtual reality experience by allowing virtual assets to be quickly imported into a virtual environment. The virtual assets can be used to help visualize or 'storyboard' an item of content during early stages of development. In doing so, the content can be rapidly iterated upon without requiring use of more substantial assets, which can be time consuming and resource intensive.
