Abstract

See full text

Dynamically customized animatable 3D models of virtual characters (“avatars”) in electronic messaging are provided. Users of instant messaging are represented dynamically by customized animatable 3D models of a corresponding virtual character. An example method comprises receiving input from a mobile device user, the input being an audio stream and/or an image/video stream; and based on an animatable 3D model and the streams, automatically generating a dynamically customized animatable 3D model corresponding to the user, including performing dynamic conversion of the input into an expression stream and corresponding time information. The example method includes generating a link to the expression stream and corresponding time information, for transmission in an instant message, and causing display of the customized animatable 3D model. Link generation and causing display is performed automatically or in response to user action. The animatable 3D model can be customized in the cloud or downloaded for customization.
