Transitional effects in real-time rendering applications

A method comprising:

• rendering a computer-generated reality environment in a first state using an application that includes multiple processes associated with respective objects of the computer-generated reality environment, wherein each of the multiple processes includes one or more threads and is associated with a respective object separately from other parts of the computer-generated reality environment;
• generating a message that indicates a change in the computer-generated reality environment;
• sending the message to two or more of the multiple processes associated with respective objects of the computer-generated reality environment;
• responsive to the message, updating configurations of objects of the computer-generated reality environment to change the computer-generated reality environment from the first state to a second state;
• and
• rendering the computer-generated reality environment in the second state using the application.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:

• rendering a computer-generated reality environment in a first state using an application that includes multiple processes associated with respective objects of the computer-generated reality environment, wherein each of the multiple processes includes one or more threads and is associated with a respective object separately from other parts of the computer-generated reality environment;
• generating a message that indicates a change in the computer-generated reality environment;
• sending the message to two or more of the multiple processes associated with respective objects of the computer-generated reality environment;
• responsive to the message, updating configurations of objects of the computer-generated reality environment to change the computer-generated reality environment from the first state to a second state;
• and
• rendering the computer-generated reality environment in the second state using the application.
