Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable medium are provided that cause a two dimensional image to appear three dimensional and also create a dynamic or animated illustrated images. The systems, methods, apparatuses and computer readable mediums implement displacement maps in a number of novel ways in conjunction with among other software, facial feature recognition software to recognize the areas of the face and allow the users to then customize those areas that are recognized. Furthermore, the created displacement maps are used to create all of the dynamic effects of an image in motion.
