Abstract
A method of populating a digital environment with digital content is disclosed. Environment data describing the digital environment is accessed. Populator data describing a populator digital object is accessed. The populator data includes semantic data describing the populator digital object. The populator digital object is placed within the digital environment. A semantic map representation of the populator digital object is generated. The semantic map representation is divided into a plurality of cells. A target cell of the plurality of cells is selected as a placeholder in the digital environment for a digital object that is optionally subsequently instantiated. The selecting of the target cell is based on an analysis of the environment data, the populator data, and the semantic map representation. Placeholder data is recorded in the semantic map representation. The placeholder data includes properties corresponding to the digital object that is optionally subsequently instantiated.
