Getting Startedโ€‹

If this is your first time creating a Lens, check out the templates below which allow you to create compelling Lenses by importing a single 2D image. Check out additional Beginner Templates here.

๐Ÿ“„๏ธ Image Marker

The Marker Template allows you to specify an image that is recognized and tracked by the Snapchat camera. Unlike the other tracking techniques in the Device Tracking component, marker tracking detects and tracks the features in a specific user defined image. The template shows you how to utilize marker tracking to create a 3D experience tightly tracked to a marker image. It also includes different effects that can be triggered when the marker is recognized, tapped and more.

Augment the Worldโ€‹

Lenses can change the way people see the world.

๐Ÿ“„๏ธ Tween

Animation can make your Lenses more engaging as it can add life and movement to your AR experience.  The Tween Template demonstrates multiple scenarios of implementing Tween into your project to add animations directly within Lens Studio. With Tween you can move, scale, rotate, change the color of an object and more through simple drop downs. The template comes with examples of animating 3D objects, orchestrating animations, as well as animating interactable UI elements.

More than just augmenting the world, Lenses can be made more engaging through interactivity.
