3D AVATAR RENDERING

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for rendering an avatar. A first avatar having a first level of detail is stored in a database, the first avatar including a first plurality of components. A level of detail of each of the first plurality of components is reduced separately from each other. A second plurality of components comprising the reduced level of detail of each of the first plurality of components is stored. A request is received for the first avatar in a second level of detail that comprises a lower level of detail than the first level of detail. In response to receiving the request, the second plurality of components is assembled to generate a second avatar having the second level of detail.
