Creating Avatars
IMAGINATION: Creating the Future of Education and Work
An avatar can be as simple as the profile picture you post on Twitter to show the world your face, or it can be created in three dimensions in a virtual environment, fully customized from the skin and size to hair, eyes and clothes. In some virtual environments, participants have full control over the appearance of their avatars, right down to body shape, color and size, the shape and placement of facial features, hair style, clothing, posture, gestures and even whether or not they want to appear in the guise of a person, animal or inanimate object.

Dawn Fairy
http://www.nvidia.com/object/demo_dawn.html
Dawn Fairy is a virtual human, or avatar, created by nVidia to showcase their GeForce graphics card.
In the past, each frame of her scenes would take a computer hours to draw, and the whole thing would be stuck together afterwards to make the movie. If you wanted to draw each frame faster, in real-time, you? have to go for a less detailed, more cartoon-like character, like Lara Croft. The Dawn demo takes the best of both worlds ?very detailed graphics being calculated and drawn at very high speed, as the frames are needed.
