1. A method comprising:
at a device including one or more cameras and non-transitory memory coupled to one or more processors:
obtaining an input directed to a content creation region within a user interface,
wherein the input corresponds to a sketch of a candidate object,
wherein the content creation region facilitates creation of a computer-generated graphical object presentable using the device; and
wherein the user interface includes the content creation region and a presentation region for computer-generated content; and
in response to obtaining the input directed to the content creation region:
presenting the sketch within the content creation region;
obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) model using the input that corresponds to the sketch of the candidate object;
generating the computer-generated graphical object using the 3D model; and
causing presentation of the computer-generated graphical object together with imagery obtained using the one or more cameras of the device within the presentation region while maintaining presentation of the sketch within the content creation region.
