Creating these avatars manually usually involves laborious selection and adjustment of continuous and discrete parameters and is tim e-consuming for average users. Self-supervised approaches to automatically create 3D avatars from user selfies promise high quality with little anno tation cost but fall short in application to stylized avatars due to a lar ge style domain gap. We propose a novel self-supervised learning framework to create high-quality stylized 3D avatars with a mix of continuous and d iscrete parameters. Our cascaded domain bridging framework first leverages a modified portrait stylization approach to translate input selfies into stylized avatar renderings as the targets for desired 3D avatars. Next, we find the best parameters of the avatars to match the stylized avatar rend erings through a differentiable imitator we train to mimic the avatar grap hics engine. To ensure we can effectively optimize the discrete parameters , we adopt a cascaded relaxation-and-search pipeline. We use a human prefe rence study to evaluate how well our method preserves user identity compar ed to previous work as well as manual creation. Our results achieve much h igher preference scores than previous work and close to those of manual cr eation. We also provide an ablation study to justify the design choices in our pipeline.\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, ON-DEMAND ACCESS\n\n Language: ENGLISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON, ON-DEMAND URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_384&sess=sess16 3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
