Abstract: Various customization options are provided for customizing a 3D avatar of a head. Features of the head and assets corresponding to the features can be customized using blend shapes. An amount of storage for the plurality of blend shapes is minimized by determining overlapping blend shapes that can be reused for a plurality of different assets. Further, techniques are provided for dynamic changes to an avatar in accordance with selected features and assets.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a video of an emoji that has been puppeted using inputs from image, depth, and audio. The inputs can capture facial expressions of a user, eye, eyebrow, mouth, and head movements. A pose, held by the user, can be detected that can be used to generate supplemental animation. The emoji can further be animated using physical properties associated with the emoji and captured movements. An emoji of a dog can have its ears move in response to an up-and-down movement, or a shaking of the head. The video can be sent in a message to one or more recipients. A sending device can render the puppeted video in accordance with hardware and software capabilities of a recipient's computer device.

Abstract: A method, comprising receiving, by a device, a plurality of image frames comprising a facial expression of a person. Receiving, by the device, depth information comprising the facial expression of the person. Determining, by the device, the facial expression of the person based on the plurality of image frames and the depth information. Animating, by the device, an avatar based at least in part on the facial expression of the person. Causing a first version of the animated avatar to be rendered, by the device, based on the facial expression. Transmitting recipient information from the device to a message system for a transmission to a recipient computing device associated with the recipient information. Receiving, at the device, a response from the message system prior to delivery of the rendered first version of the animated avatar to the recipient computing device. Causing, following the response from the message system, a second version of the animated avatar to be rendered at the device based on the facial expression, the second version corresponding to one or more capabilities of the recipient computing device associated with the recipient information. Transmitting the rendered second version of the animated avatar from the device to the recipient computing device without transmitting the first version of the animated avatar from the device to the recipient computing device.
