Developing New 2D Worlds

Suggested Workflow

To begin, explore the work of professional Lens Studio Creators at this link, and watch this video.

Choose two of your favorite Lenses as you explore the Creator Community.
Next, fill out the Compare & Contrast Features Worksheet on paper or on your computer.

Write the name of one of your favorite Lenses on the left side.
Write the name of another one of your favorite Lenses on the right side.
Fill in the circle on the left with features that correspond only to Lens #1.
Fill in the circle on the right with features that correspond only to Lens #2.
Fill in the overlapping circles in the middle with features that correspond to both Lens #1 and Lens #2.

How does it feel to see yourself using those Lenses?

Open the Lens Studio software on your computer.
In the top left corner, select “Templates.”
Select the “2D Objects” template.
Watch the tutorial with the captions on.
Watch the tutorial again, but this time, pause at each step and follow along on your own computer.

2. 1:28 - Play with Face Sprites.
3. 2:20 - Preview the Lens you just created. It could take a few minutes to arrive to your Snapchat account once you pair it.
Spend a few more minutes finishing up your Lens and trying it directly on your Snapchat!
Save your progress on your computer.
