Context-based virtual object rendering

A method comprising:

• selecting, by one or more processors of a machine, a virtual object template operable to generate a virtual object, the virtual object template being associated with multiple behaviors, each behavior of the multiple behaviors corresponding to one or more movements or actions that are performable by the virtual object generated based on the virtual object template;
• determining, by the one or more processors of a machine, one or more stylizations for the virtual object template based on contextual information associated with a computing device;
• generating, by the one or more processors of a machine, a virtual object by applying the one or more stylizations to the virtual object template;
• selecting, using a set of rules, a behavior for the virtual object, from among the multiple behaviors associated with the virtual object template, based on the contextual information;
• and
• rendering the virtual object within a 3D space captured within a camera feed of the computing device, the virtual object including the one or more stylizations, the rendering of the virtual object comprising rendering the virtual object performing a movement or action based on the behavior selected from among the multiple behaviors associated with the virtual object template.

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

• selecting a virtual object template operable to generate a virtual object, the virtual object template being associated with multiple behaviors, each behavior of the multiple behaviors corresponding to one or more movements or actions that are performable by the virtual object generated based on the virtual object template;
• determining one or more stylizations for the virtual object template based on contextual information associated with a computing device;
• generating a virtual object by applying the one or more stylizations to the virtual object template;
• selecting, using a set of rules, a behavior for the virtual object, from among the multiple behaviors associated with the virtual object template, based on the contextual information;
• and
• rendering the virtual object within a 3D space captured within a camera feed of the computing device, the virtual object including the one or more stylizations, the rendering of the virtual object comprising rendering the virtual object performing a movement or action based on the determined behavior selected from among the multiple behaviors associated with the virtual object template.
