Abstract
Provided are methods and systems for automatic creation of a customized avatar animation of a user. An example method commences with receiving production parameters and creating, based on the production parameters, a multidimensional array of a plurality of blank avatar animations. Each blank avatar animation has a predetermined number of frames and a plurality of features associated with each frame. The method further includes receiving user parameters including body dimensions, hair, and images of a face of a user. The method continues with selecting, from the plurality of blank avatar animations, two blank avatar animations closest to the user based on the body dimensions. The method further includes interpolating corresponding frames of the two blank avatar animations to produce an interpolated avatar animation. The method continues with compositing the face and the hair with the interpolated avatar animation using a machine learning technique to render the customized avatar animation.
