Claim 23:
24. The method of claim 23, wherein the first data comprises expression data including blend shape data and transform data for each frame of a plurality of frames represented by the expression data, and wherein, while the object is being imaged, for each frame of the camera feed and in real time, the method further includes:
positioning and orienting the 3D mesh of the object in registration with the image of the object;
generating texture map data for the object from the camera feed;
modifying the position and orientation of the image of the object using the transform data for a corresponding frame of the expression data;
mapping blend shape data from the expression data for that frame to corresponding regions of the 3D mesh of the object; and
modifying the image of the object using the blend shape data, the texture map data and the reconstruction map data to correspond to the expression defined by the expression data for that frame.
