I was only given about 2 weeks to create two avatars (male and female) from scratch and make sure they were under 2000 total triangles, had fully modeled mouths and teeth, a moving jaw, eyelids and all five fingers. I also had to make sure they had completely interchangeable hair, heads and upper and lower bodies and three different body weights. Then I had to make sure we had options for 4 different races, and all the textures had to be made in such a way that they could be colored any way the user felt was appropriate. I re-used a skeleton with a bunch of motion-captured animations and cleaned them up to fit each body type. In total I think I spent about 3-4 weeks creating all these assets and getting it working while working closely with the programmers but it was a very frustrating task for one person to take one alone. Considering the circumstances I am still very proud of what I was able to create.
