3D avatar rendering

A system comprising:

• a processor configured to perform operations comprising:
• storing in a database a first avatar having a first level of detail;
• the first avatar including a first plurality of components;
• reducing a level of detail of each of the first plurality of components separately from each other;
• storing a second plurality of components comprising the reduced level of detail of each of the first plurality of components;
• receiving a request for the first avatar in a second level of detail that comprises a lower level of detail than the first level of detail;
• in response to receiving the request, assembling the second plurality of components to generate a second avatar having the second level of detail;
• determining a first identity of a first user associated with the second avatar and a second identity of a second user associated with a third avatar;
• and
• based on the determined first identity and the determined second identity, displaying the second avatar having the second level of detail together with a third avatar having the first level of detail.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that includes instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• storing in a database a first avatar having a first level of detail, the first avatar including a first plurality of components;
• reducing a level of detail of each of the first plurality of components separately from each other;
• storing a second plurality of components comprising the reduced level of detail of each of the first plurality of components;
• receiving a request for the first avatar in a second level of detail that comprises a lower level of detail than the first level of detail;
• in response to receiving the request, assembling the second plurality of components to generate a second avatar having the second level of detail;
• determining a first identity of a first user associated with the second avatar and a second identity of a second user associated with a third avatar;
• and
• based on the determined first identity and the determined second identity, displaying the second avatar having the second level of detail together with a third avatar having the first level of detail.
