Hey, everyone, congratulations on finishing the
fundamentals chapter. We are now heading to a more complex part,
but just before that we will be checking how to make a filter faster and simpler.
So first thing, when you open Spark AR,
you have this window which gives the possibility to create a new project.
But you also have a lot of different
premade templates, which are very helpful to gain a lot of time.
So let's open the "World Object" template for example.
One thing, that is pretty amazing is
that there are some kind of tutorials on how to use each template.
So even if you're beginning, you can understand how it works.
We are going to add a custom object in our project
so you can go to the "Assets" panel and click on the "Add Asset" button.
As you can see here,
there's a "Search AR Library" button in which you can have 3D objects,
music and sounds, patch assets, textures, blocks, scripts and even Colour LUTs.
All that for free provided by Spark AR.
We're going to head to the "3D Objects" tab and browse the animal collection.
You can choose whichever object you want, but I will personally choose this one
from Animal Crossing, which is quite cute, and click on the "Import Free" button.
We now have the object in our scene,
so we can simply drag here, in the "dragHere" object and then delete the "deleteMe" object.
The model is a bit off,
so we'll have to bring it up in the scene like that.
Now we will explore again one last thing, which is called actions.
So as I said in the first episode,
basically there are some shortcuts you can use to make some quick effect in the scene.
So you can "Position On Face",
"Place in Wall Space", "Add Simple Shadow", or even animated the model.
In this case, we will add a shadow, which is added right here.
And we can tweak some of the parameters in the "Properties" panel such as "Falloff" & "Opacity".
That was really fast. You already have an effect ready.
With the AR Library, templates and actions,
you have a very powerful way to create
complex effects without knowing anything in 3D modelling.
Thanks for watching!
