AR with Lens Studio



Week 6

_Meet your Metabun_ny 

AR is a bridge connecting reality and imagination. Through AR we can visit the imaginary world or invite imaginary beings into our world. For the final project, I decided to bring the digital character that I created into life. Only AR technology could make this happen.

This is my 3D Character I’m going to use. I designed it in C4D.




Imported it into Lens Studio.




Originally I also wanted to develop AR filter for dogs but I could only found 2D face filter supported for dogs.

I was just wondering and maybe 2 person filter worked for dog and it recognized my dog as a person for a second. What a happy accident.

It exceeds file limit so I couldn’t try it or publish it. Maybe because of Tween Manager? I used it to make Metabun_ny rotate around the head like a planet. 







Week 5

_Metabun_ny Gallery

I created an AR filter that users can appreciate Metabun_ny anywhere anytime.
I exported some fbx files and imported them into Lens Studio.


︎It’s interesting how glass material reflects the environment in real time. It definitely makes the experience more real. 

︎I pinned objects before recorded it. It sometimes work well but sometimes it didn’t work and floated around. 




Week 4

_Body Tracking

This week I created an unconventional garment AR filter using a rubber duck.

I imported 3D models and attached them to the spine altogether so they can move as one piece.




And here are videos with my dress.





And I tried it on myself.






Week 3

_Image Tracking

I thought this can be applied to business cards/promotional flyers etc and help people to understand the business in a fun visual way.

I decided to make AR filters to promote my NFT project. First, I printed two small cards in a size that can be easily handed out to people.





And I created an animation and exported fbx file for each card.

2. 3D Object



︎︎︎ Problem: It has completely diffrent colors from what it was supposed to be after exporting it on C4D.







Week1

This week we explored one of the analog AR methods, using transparent paper as a new layer to the world. I drew some cute monsters planning to invade the city. It would be fun if they are animated. They are appeared one by one, eyeballing and scratching windows on the building.
