Graphical Animation with Image Generation Enhancements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of invertible mappings between pixel locations of first avatar parts for a first avatar and pixel locations of the first avatar parts represented as individual images in non-overlapping regions of a first image atlas, wherein the first avatar can be graphically animated by an animation engine based on the first image atlas and the invertible mappings;
• based on the first avatar and a command, obtaining a second avatar that is commensurate in shape and size to that of the first avatar;
• and
• based on inverting the invertible mappings, determining a second image atlas for the second avatar, wherein non-overlapping regions of the second image atlas contain second avatar parts for the second avatar represented as individual images, and wherein the second avatar can be animated by the animation engine based on the second image atlas and the invertible mappings.

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory;
• and
• program instructions, stored in the memory, that upon execution by the one or more processors cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
