1. A computer system comprising:
a memory; and
a processor operatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is to:
obtain an input image depicting a body part of a person;
process the input image against a set of semantic landmarks representing landmarks of the body part;
obtain a mesh model for a set of images, wherein the mesh model is a data structure that corresponds to a sampling of a three-dimensional (3D) model of instances of sampled body parts of additional persons;
generate, from the mesh model and the set of semantic landmarks, a body part mesh of the person, wherein the body part mesh is an approximation of a 3D model for the body part depicted in the input image;
obtain a target body part mesh data structure, distinct from the body part mesh; and
generate a modified view image of the body part, modified to reflect differences between the target body part mesh data structure and the body part mesh while retaining at least some texture of the body part from the input image.
