UV Maps for Makeup Textures​

Makeup uses separate UV maps for different areas of the face, including the lips, eyes, and cheeks. Starting from Lens Studio 5.17 and above, you can upload your own custom textures. Use the UV textures below as a visual guide when creating your own. They show how makeup textures wrap around the Face Mesh, helping you align details accurately.

Tips & Tricks​

  • Use Presets: The preset system provides excellent starting points for various effects.

  • Combine with Other Objects: Other objects and effects can be added to the scene as usual alongside Glam & Glitter.

  • Toggle Features: Each individual feature can be toggled on or off. If there is a feature you aren't using, you can disable it using the toggle to optimize performance.

By default, advanced rendering techniques render before the default layer; all post effects, including sparkles, render after.

Troubleshooting​

  • Only one instance of Glam and Glitter is supported at a time. If you have more than one Glam and Glitter component in your scene, only the first one will be used.
