It’s time to create your own Lens using one of the facial manipulations that we just explored. For this activity, you will use the Face Paint template to paint a 2D texture onto your face.
- Open the Lens Studio software on your computer.
- In the top left corner, select “Templates.”
- Select the “Face Paint” template.
- Watch the tutorial again, but this time, pause at each step and follow along on your own computer.
- 2:09 - Use the template Artboard in your preferred creative software to design a mask element. The example uses Photoshop.
- 3:07 - Manipulate anchor points to adjust mask elements.
- Spend a few more minutes finishing up your Lens and trying it directly on your Snapchat!
- Actions to consider: replacing elements, changing textures, and adding layers.
- Save your progress on your computer.
