The user body information may include a set of values for torso parameters and one or more values for a height parameter. The values for the torso parameters may include one or more values of a height parameter, a width parameter, a depth parameter, and/or other information. The torso parameters associated with the user body information may also be referred to as user's body measurement values. In some implementations, operation 910 may be performed by one or more physical processors executing a body component the same as or similar to body component 106 (shown in
At an operation 910, correspondence value may be determined based on one or more of a user body dimension ratio, a base body model dimension ratio, a default body model dimension ratio, and/or other values. The correspondence values may be determined based on relationships between the user body dimension ratio, the base body model dimension ratio, the default body model dimension ratio, and/or other values. In some implementations, the relationships may be one or more of a difference, a ratio, a correlation, and/or other relationship between values. In a non-limiting example, the correspondence values may be determined by comparing the ratio of the difference between the user body dimension ratio to the base body model dimension ratio and the difference between the default body model dimension ratio to the base body model dimension ratio. In some implementations, operation 910 may be performed by one or more physical processors executing a body component the same as or similar to body component 106 (shown in
At an operation 912, a base body model may be modified. The base body model may be modified based on the correspondence values and default body models such that the base body model resembles the user's body. The base body model may be morphed based on the individual default body models. The body component may modify the set of values defining the base body model based on determined correspondence values and the sets of base values defining the default body models such that the base body model may be modified to model the appearance of the head of the body.

The user head information may specify the appearance of the head of a real-world user. The user head information may include visual content (e.g., images, texture maps, and/or other information) of one or more of the user's facial features, head shape, facial textures, facial expressions, and/or other visual content associated with the user's head. In some implementations, operation 1010 may be performed by one or more physical processors executing a body component the same as or similar to head component 108 (shown in
At an operation 1010, correspondence values may be determined. In some implementations, the correspondence values may be determined by a comparison between the appearance of the user's head and the appearance of the default head models. The correspondence values may be determined by selecting correspondence values that minimizes the differences between the appearance of the user's head and the default head models. In some implementations, the differences between the appearance of the user's head and the default head models may be determined by comparing the user feature map with the default head model feature map. In some implementations, operation 1010 may be performed by one or more physical processors executing a head component the same as or similar to head component 108 (shown in
At an operation 1012, a base head model may be modified. In some implementations, the base head model may be modified based on the correspondence values and default head models such that the base head model resembles the user's head and/or face. The base head model may be morphed based on the individual default head models. The set of values defining the base head model may be modified based on determined correspondence values and the sets of base values defining the default head models such that the base head model may be modified to model the appearance of the head of the user. A sum of the modification of the base head model by the individual default head models may result in a modified base head model that resembles the appearance of the head of the user. In some implementations, operation 1012 may be performed by one or more physical processors executing a head component the same as or similar to head component 108 (shown in
