Spectacles developers: Support for Spectacles is coming soon. For now, it is not yet available—please watch for future updates.

• Make new types of games with all-new capabilities, and improved toolings.

  • Turn Based Custom Component allows you to develop turn based lenses utilizing the Turn Based Dynamic Response API. It provides built-in functionality for session management, game variable serialization, and Lens Studio debugging.

  • Character Controller Custom Component provides a dynamic player movement system designed to support Bitmoji 3D in various gameplay formats. It includes a non-physics-based movement model with physics interactions, animation state management, and joystick input control.

• Bitmoji Suite: for the first time, Lens developers can change the Bitmoji outfits, generate furniture and other stylized objects for Bitmoji scenes.

• You now have the option to run Script Components in the Scene panel by toggling `Run Scripts` at the top of the Scene panel–allowing scripts which create visuals at run time to be shown in the Scene panel. 

  • For example: you can now see a Bitmoji in the Scene panel when adding the Bitmoji3D component to your scene.

• New Home Page now organizes templates, samples, guides, based on the platform for easier discoverability.

• Combine PersonTrackingScope and TextureTrackingScope to support body tracking on any texture on entities (e.g. Body Tracking 3D, Person Normals and Depth, Body Instance Segmentation and Body Mesh). 

  • For example: you can now do body tracking on sources like dual camera or camera roll (media picker).  

• New features in Easy Lens:

  • Immersive ML - A large collection of ML Effects that add a unique visual style to the entire scene

  • Body Morph - A vast collection of 3D animated humanoid characters, including mythical creatures, animals, and sci-fi figures, with the user’s face projected onto them.

  • Bi-Directional Communication - A stable back & forth EL lens editing. You can now ask questions about the project including questions about EL’s generated code.

• Custom Type Inputs can now be accessed via Editor Scripting.

• Material/VFX Editor: Improved Depth Texture Sampling.

• Part 4 of the Bitmoji Runner Game tutorial is now available in English and Arabic! Learn how to add and randomize obstacles to make your game more dynamic and challenging.

• Plugin api changes

  • IInstallableContentActions class has been renamed to IPackageActions.

  • IInstallableContentRegistry has been renamed to IPackageRegistry. 

• API Deprecation Policy describes some changes to how we’re handling deprecation of APIs and features along with alternatives for common deprecated APIs you may be using.

• Q&A Chat now shows links to sources, and a summary of what the AI is searching for, before it comes up with the full answer.

• Helper Script improvements to make it easier to update in your project in the future. This update also removes usage of deprecated APIs.

  • Behavior is now available as a Custom Component.

  • TweenManager is now available as a Package.

• Leaderboard Custom Component UI has been updated. Changes include standardized start screen elements added through Score Preview Widget, and Side Switcher Notifications. 

• Fixed issue with Spatial Audio on Windows OS.

• Fixed application crash during drag&drop operations with assets.

• Fixed incorrect lens size shown in Project Settings (MiB to MB).

• Animation assets unpacked in LS 5.8, reopened in 5.9 and then updated to 5.10 will be empty. A work around is to go into the `.animationAsset` file before updating, and deleting `AnimationCurvePropertiesLayers: {}` at the bottom of the file.

• SnapML will not work correctly with VideoTextures as an input.

• RetouchVisual set to ML Retouch won’t work correctly with TrackingScope.

• Script generation and troubleshooting are currently disabled in the Lens Studio AI chat assistant. We are working on delivering an upgraded, improved solution in upcoming releases!
