A facial tracking system generates a virtual rendering of a portion of a face of a user wearing a head-mounted display (HMD). The facial tracking system illuminates portions of the face inside the HMD. The facial tracking system captures a plurality of facial data of the portion of the face using one or more facial sensors located inside the HMD. A plurality of planar sections of the portion of the face are identified based at least in part on the plurality of facial data. The plurality of planar sections are mapped to one or more landmarks of the face. Facial animation information is generated based at least in part on the mapping, the facial animation information describing a portion of a virtual face corresponding to the portion of the user's face.
