I found some cool avatar assets last night, simple svgs/pngs arranged in a way that all fits together & have a total of 266.4 trillion combinations, woah.
Compared to Snapchat's Bitmoji of 1.999 septillion combinations it's not so big

Since all the assets are simple and generalised, assembling avatar combinations has a very low conflict/bad display rate, only a few adjustments have to be made to stop stuff looking messed up.
When companies make more advanced/realistic looking avatar creators, it quickly requires a huge increase in technology, but also makes their use cases sky high.
However, since this system is a simplistic/2d system, creating scenes where a user's avatar is in a different position or scenario isn't too much of a technological step up, as simple changes like facial expressions (mouth, eyebrows, eyes change state) and head rotation attached to a body will suffice.
