Assignment:

  1. Choose one:
    1. Reactive body lens. Create a lens that utilizes the moving body to trigger digital content. Ex: Bubble Dance
    2. Project Runway in AR - Create a virtual garment using “unconventional” materials. Ex: Netting dress

Process:

I really struggled with finding a concept I felt able to achieve this week, both with what is create-able in Lens Studio for newbies as well as what I could create with assets I could easily find. I wanted to create a ballet inspired project runway garment meets body meshing fun, but ended up having to simplify to what I am capable of right now and what my brain was able to comprehend in Lens Studio. Not sure why this week’s activity was difficult for my brain to compute but it was.

The first step was to add a full body mesh and change it’s material to sparkles (found in the Lens Studio Asset Library).

I then added the cloth simulation pack and chose the flower crown from in there (I think I may use that as my flower crown from my face filter - I do still want to go back and fix that). I also gave it the sparkles effect, but because the mesh is of different size and shape, the material looks different.

Final Filter is here:
