Devices, systems, and methods for generating three-dimensional avatars of users

A system comprising:

• a camera configured to capture a set of images that depict a head of a user;
• and
• a computing device configured to:
• generate a set of two-dimensional textures based at least in part on the set of images;
• and
• generate a three-dimensional avatar that depicts the head of the user with even illumination by applying a blend of the set of two-dimensional textures to a head model.

A method comprising:

• generating, by circuitry of a computing device, a set of two-dimensional textures based at least in part on a set of images that depict a head of a user;
• generating, by the circuitry, a three-dimensional avatar that depicts the head of the user with even illumination by applying a blend of the set of two-dimensional textures to a head model;
• and
• providing the three-dimensional avatar for presentation by a display device.
