Abstract
The present technology generates a simplified version of a complex avatar by capturing images and 3-D volume information of segments of the complex avatar while the complex avatar is rendered. When the complex avatar is requested in an environment in which it is not desirable to display the complex avatar, the captured images and 3-D volume information can be used to provide a simplified version of the avatar. The simplified version of the avatar can have a similar visual appearance but can be easier to render. However, the present technology permits the user with the complex avatar to continue to have approximately the same visual appearance while avoiding the degraded performance on systems not capable of rendering the complex avatar quickly enough.
