Assets you'll need

Some templates can be customized by simply adjusting the options in Spark AR Studio. To customize other templates you’ll need to add your own:

• 3D objects.
• Custom textures.

You can choose from a range of 3D objects in the AR Library or make your own. Use the face reference assets to create textures that fit perfectly on someone’s face.

Check the supported file formats before your import any textures and objects.

• Replace elements of the scene.
• Drag and drop objects.
• Adjust properties in the Inspector.
