Abstract

In one embodiment, a computer implemented method for rendering virtual environments is disclosed. The method includes associating by a computing system, virtual object with a container effect, by receiving information regarding an object category for the object and matching the object category to a category associated with the container effect, where the container effect defines virtual effects for objects associated therewith. The method also includes generating by the computing system a virtual environment including the virtual object by retrieving a model of the object and utilizing the model and the container effect to render a virtual object.
