A method for providing a relightable avatar of a subject to a virtual reality application is provided. The method includes retrieving multiple images including multiple views of a subject and generating an expression-dependent texture map and a view-dependent texture map for the subject, based on the images. The method also includes generating, based on the expression-dependent texture map and the view-dependent texture map, a view of the subject illuminated by a light source selected from an environment in an immersive reality application, and providing the view of the subject to an immersive reality application running in a client device. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions and a system that executes the instructions to perform the above method are also provided.
