In one aspect, the set of blendshapes with respective weights can be provided as an input to train a machine learning model. In one aspect, the machine learning model can be configured, via training, to generate an output set of blendshapes with respective weights, according to an input image. An image of an avatar may be rendered according to the output set of blendshapes with respective weights.
