Abstract
Described is a system for efficient avatar creation with mesh penetration avoidance by receiving a first body characteristic for a first virtual avatar, accessing a first body mesh of the first virtual avatar that corresponds to the first body characteristic, receiving a first accessory characteristic for the first virtual avatar, accessing a first accessory mesh that corresponds to the first accessory characteristic, and identifying a first portion of the first body mesh that is determined to penetrate the first accessory mesh, the penetration being determined prior to receiving the first body characteristic. The system modifies the first portion of the first body mesh that is determined to penetrate the first accessory mesh to generate an updated body mesh, applies the first accessory mesh to the updated first body mesh to generate the first virtual avatar, and displays the first virtual avatar.
