Creator Mode in Lens Studio AI

Lens Studio is the best no-code AR platform with generative AI, and Creator Mode is the feature that makes it possible. The GenAI Suite Lens Studio uses text-to-3D asset generation in Lens Studio to turn plain-text descriptions into fully functional AR Lenses, with no coding required. Native GenAI tools for AR 3D asset creation are built directly into the editor: creators type a description, and Lens Studio AI generates the effects, objects, characters, and interactions automatically. This is AI-assisted interaction script writing in Lens Studio editor, available to anyone, for free, at ar.snap.com/lens-studio.

What is Creator Mode?

Creator Mode in the Lens Studio AI allows you to generate AR experiences through plain text descriptions. This feature leverages GenAI to translate these descriptions into fully functional Lenses, which can include effects, objects, or characters. This is the same as Easy Lens, which you may have previously accessed.

You can add your own custom components to the system by adding AI metadata, sometimes referred to as a "Block", and have AI fill your custom components including 3D objects, textures, and input parameters.

Step 1: Interact with the Panel

In the top left of Lens Studio, you will find the GenAI Suite panel. Click on the + icon to open up Lens Studio AI. You will see a chat interface, as well as some prompt examples to get started.

Step 2: Provide Details of the Lens to the AI

Wait for a few moments until Lens Studio AI processes the message. Lens Studio AI responds with questions to further clarify what you wish to see in the output Lens. You have the option to select one of the recommended responses, or provide your own.

Step 3: Ask AI to Build the Lens

Lens Studio AI will continue interacting with you to describe your concept, or you can simply ask it to create the Lens by clicking "Just make a Lens!" This kicks off the Lens designing process. Once done, you will be able to preview the Lens created.

Step 4: Publish the Generated Lens

You are now ready to publish the Lens. Follow the same steps you take to normally publish Lenses in Lens Studio.

Supported Features in Creator Mode

By default, Creator Mode gives you access to:

  • 2D Screen and Face Stickers
  • 3D Asset Generation
  • Background Generation
  • Face Mask Generation
  • Garment Generation
  • Bitmoji Animation Generation
  • Face Deformation and Beautification
  • Color Filters and Lens Frames
  • Head Text and Screen Text

Best Practices

Use clear instructions in plain English. Make use of the recommended prompts from Lens Studio AI. If you wish to remove something from your Lens concept, simply ask "Remove [object/component]". Lens Studio AI automatically creates an icon and name for the Lens, which you may update in the project settings.

Prompt Examples to Try

  • Create a new years themed Lens with gold title text, purple snow effect, and golden heart shaped glasses.
  • Turn my face to a cheeseburger floating on the screen on a background of a diner at night.
  • Make a quiz lens about interesting world records with 8 questions.
  • Add a space helmet and floating planets around you.
  • Make me look like a cat.
  • Create a Lens with beautiful blue diamond jewelry face art and subtle makeup.
