Abstract
Systems and methods for customizing avatars responsive to events are provided. An event is received and a topical category for the event is determined. A plurality of assets and a scene responsive to the event is obtained. Each such asset determines a position of an avatar in the scene over time. The avatar is associated with a user that has designated an interest in the topical category. The avatar is obtained from a user profile associated with the user. A sticker is formed comprising the scene and an altered version of the avatar. The altered version of the avatar comprises: (i) one or more visible layers that are present in the avatar and (ii) one or more visible layers that are not present in the avatar and that include all or a portion of the plurality of assets, thereby forming a sticker. The sticker is then provided to the user.
