  • Publication number: 20230115531
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for performing operations for deforming an external mesh. The operations comprise receiving a video that includes a depiction of a real-world object. The operations comprise generating a three-dimensional (3D) body mesh associated with the real-world object that tracks movement of the real-world object across frames of the video. The operations comprise obtaining an external mesh associated with an Augmented-Reality (AR) element. The operations comprise accessing a plurality of deformation attributes associated with the external mesh, each attribute corresponding to a different deformation model. The operations comprise separately deforming, based on respective deformation models, a first portion of the external mesh and a second portion of the external mesh. The operations comprise modifying the video to include a display of the AR element based on the separately deformed first and second portions of the external mesh.
