Abstract
Rendering an avatar for a user in a communication session includes obtaining enrollment data associated with the user. For each of one or more frames of the communication session, a set of expression latents is obtained for the user. A first texture for a first portion of the face of the user is generated based on the enrollment data and expression latents. A combined albedo map is generated based on one or more identity textures from the enrollment data and the first texture. A target texture is generated based on the one or more identity textures and the combined albedo map for a particular frame of the one or more frames.
