Effect Lifecycle

Although your process may look a little different, this is the typical lifecycle of an effect built in Spark AR Studio:

Research and Plan

• Get inspired - you can join the Spark AR Creator Community to share tips and ideas with other creators.
• Find out what tools and features Spark AR Studio has.
• Create or prepare your assets in other design tools or 3D modeling programs.
• Create your effect icon.

Build and Test

• Create a new project in Spark AR Studio, and import your assets.
• Build your effect - follow this guide to making a quick mask effect for help getting started.
• Preview and test it on the Spark AR Player app.
• Adjust the compression settings.

Maintain and Grow

• Familiarize yourself with the approval process.
• Submit your effect - you'll see options to schedule and target it.
• Promote and share your effect.
• Check how your effect is performing, update it when you need to, and resubmit.
