1. User Input for New line in Text Components

   Currently it's very difficult to enter multiline inputs in the dynamic text ( Editable Text/ Shareable Text ) as the enter key's native behavior is to confirm the text and not a new line. If we can have something which allows us to input new lines as well that would be awesome. For now I have created a custom keyboard to do the same

2. Make new windows open next to the scene panel

   Currently, every time we open a new window it opens next to the Asset Browser panel, which is very small. It would be good if the default behavior was to open next to the scene panel, in the middle of the screen

3. LS 5 Asset Library Broken Assets

   A handful of the assets in the asset library currently seem to not work properly in LS 5 specifically LS 5.4.1 I am testing them in. It would be nice if the report button in the asset library allowed us to report these there rather than that button only being for copyright infringement complaints.

   Here's a list of the one's I know of and any explanation I can provide:

   • Particles Controller - using outdated gpu particle shader, fails to render on device without updating shader to new version manually

   • Image Carousel - code is based around the 4.55 screen transform world units. It does not display properly with default canvas that is added now without changing the canvas to world or deleting the canvas. Also when unpacking this asset to edit, the modules do not end up in the same folder as the script, causing errors accessing the modules til you move them so the path works again.

   • Kira - imports with wrong blend mode, on device it does not work properly even after fixing blend mode. Particle grid is always visible but as small dots

   • Confetti Particles - also has outdated gpu particle shader same issue as the other one, not visible on device

   • Text Logger Module - script is imported completely empty

   • Text Logger v2 - the live target it creates in the module part just doesn't seem to work

   Can't verify it isnt just an issue with my build:

   • Customizable Slider Materials - fails to import entirely. Error is searching for this file that does not exist (nor does the folder on my pc). Failed: Cannot open file (File, RW, 26214) @ C:\workspace\fiji-build-win\temp\StudioKit\Common\Src\Compression\Zip.cpp

   • Customizable Progress Bar - same issue as above, different reference Failed: wrong encrypted file version (File, RW, 26214) @ C:\workspace\fiji-build-win\temp\Engine\Common\Src\FileSystem.cpp

   I'm sure there is more than these but it would be super helpful to make sure they are all still functional

   Thanks for these detailed reports! We will be looking into the issues on these assets and look for resolutions.

   
   

   We will also work on putting together a better reporting mechansim here!

   
   

   Thanks!

4. Multiple Image Tracking at Once

   So wanted to build an experience where I could track multiple images at once but I found out that while upto 10 markers are supported in one lens; at any given time only one image marker can be tracked.

5. Lag and Too Many Options in Script Graph

   I'm a programmer and sometimes teach new-media tools such as Lens Studio and Meta Spark in Taiwan. Most of my students do not have coding skills, so Script Graph is a really nice feature to let them get hands-on making interactive experiences, and is also very easy to teach. (And they like the Patch Editor in Meta Spark a lot)

   Although Lens Studio 5 hasn't officially supported Script Graph yet, as someone who is interested and cares about visual scripting, I have tried it out and would like to provide some feedback.

   It seems to me that Script Graph does not necessarily need to cover all the scripting APIs, which might be more friendly for target users, and also can reduce lag.

   -- About the Lag

   In my experience with the current version of Script Graph (even though it's not officially supported yet, I can still add nodes), the biggest issue is the lag. When I try adding a node to the graph and right-click, there is about a 2-second delay before the list appears. In visual scripting tools, users will open this list very frequently, since we need many nodes to accomplish a task, this open-menu action should have no delay. A 1 or 2-second delay makes this tool basically unusable. (Imagin when you writing a script, and each time you write a function call or declare a variable it has to pause for 1 second)

   -- Too Many Options

   Additionally, when I right-click to access the API menu, there are like thousands of functions in the list. The lack of categories makes it hard for users to browse and learn. Given that the main target audience for Script Graph is those not familiar with scripting, this is scary to them. So it seems to me the function nodes list does not need to cover the entire scripting API; instead, it could focus on providing a more user-friendly selection of functions.

   As you've already commented, Script Graph is currently not supported in 5.0. So the issues you are having are some that are expected to be issues.

   
   

   We are continuing to review our script graph functions and are working on forging our best path forward. Thanks for your feedback! We will let you know when we have updates!

6. Add Built-in Grid Overlay for Symmetry in Preview Section

   When developing AR lenses, it's crucial to ensure that all assets are symmetrically placed and aligned across various mobile phone screen ratios. To achieve this, I currently upload a preset preview image of a grid to manually check if the entire scene is perfectly symmetrical.

   A built in grid overlay in the preview section would be a game changer. This feature could allow developers to toggle a grid directly within the workspace, ensuring precise symmetry across all screen ratios.

   This would save time, reduce errors, and help developers deliver perfectly aligned lenses without relying on manual uploads.

   Would love to see this feature implemented in future updates!

7. update the test on device method

   Please give us better or at least similar and easy to use method on testing lens in our mobile device like Effect House or Spark AR.
   Sending quick and easy link or qr code to client and friends to test out should not be going unnecessary process like pairing.
   Why you ask?
   1. it's tedious and give no significant benefit whatsoever.
   2. when we are working on multiple lenses, for different target (client, personal, challenge), we don't want to send everything to everyone.
   3. we don't need drop down to the "preview lens" to choose to select to who we want it to send the test lens, we need just 1 for every time we generate, or 1 every lens project that we can easily send back and forth during development.
   4. qr code is okay, but for testing, link is preferable and quicker to access while chatting, no need to open camera first and so on. just one link to automatically open the app, load the lens, and thats it.
   5. (optional) wired usb or wireless phone connection to Lens Studio simulator to test out: World/Plane Tracking, Marker/Snapcode/Target/Image Tracker, VFX particles.

8. More robust LAT debugging tools.

   As LAT is now a hard metric for Lens approval, especially for advertising and commercial lenses, we need more robust tools for debugging LAT performance in lenses.

   Common issues being seen are large differences between LAT reporting in debugging on device vs reported debugging when a Lens is submitted (often 2x or more).
   Even when following the guidelines for remote assets and async prefab loading, these can seem to have little to no effect.

   It would be great to have a comprehensive list of which specific technologies within Lens studio incur LAT spikes and specific mitigation steps to get these over the line. Body Tracking being a main culprit seen on the discord.

   If Snap uses a specific device profile when testing LAT, which device is this? The only device I can get to report LAT even near the submission values is an iPhone SE gen 2.

   Thanks!

9. Web Hosted AR Lens Frame Rate

   Hello! The frame rate on any web hosted lens on mobile is pretty low and would not be suitable for any potential project to go ahead as it's essential the experience is not extremely laggy. Could a fix be implemented so it works this week? Im on a iPhone 12 Pro with safari as the browser and the versions in snap and on a Mac in safari all work with a great frame rate.

   A world tracking or simple/light effect like eye colour works better but the rate is still noticeable.

   Deployed web cam kit of the same lens works on mobile iOS safari with a really good frame rate of a lens that's low on web hosted lenses, but I do need the web hosted lens to perform rather than cam kit.
   Thanks!

11. I need a separate section for gaming (2D/3D) included in Lens Studio sample projects for better practice.

    As the title suggests, we, as users, love creating games. However, for newcomers, even understanding the simplest concepts can be challenging. Having a dedicated collection of sample projects focused solely on gaming would be incredibly beneficial. It would not only make learning more enjoyable but also inspire creativity, enabling users to craft unique AR experiences within a gaming environment.

    Hey Joel, this is a great note. Thanks for passing it to the team.

    
    

    We are always looking for ways to make game creation more intuitive. This is why we recently added the Leaderboard feature which makes the entire game making process better on Snapchat.

    
    

    We also recently built a brand new tutorial series specifically focused on game creation here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0rDQ-c-_kxcwwBccaz1N9Rmz_xgyijRg

    
    

    As far as the feedback for more sample projects -- we will consider what is possible and let you know!

12. Confusion About Layers

    As I work on lenses with more transitions and interactions, I’ve become increasingly confused about concepts related to layers. From what I understand, there are render targets, camera layers, camera render order, objects (displayed at the top of the Inspector), and the 3D space in the scene.

    I’m having trouble understanding how these elements work together. I hope there can be a clearer, more beginner-friendly explanation for this part.

    Thank you!

14. Face Expression Template update!

    The current script for face expressions contains several existing expressions that are not working at all and remain inactive. These expressions need to be fully implemented and activated, as they are currently non-functional. A significant issue is that the head binding for facial expressions is not working correctly in the default template. To resolve this, a new head binding must be introduced and properly linked to ensure the correct operation with the user’s head movements. Additionally, the script needs to be adjusted to fix the default values to ensure consistent behavior. Furthermore, face expressions currently work for only one character’s face detection, and support for multiple characters should be added. These modifications will improve the accuracy and performance of facial expressions, unlocking more possibilities for expressive interactions across multiple characters.

17. Move the delete asset button away from the rename button and other common buttons

    The delete asset button is right next to all the other common asset options in LS 5. Unlike in 4.55 where it was away and even had a line break before it. I keep accidentally clicking it. It would be a nice quality of life change and save me great turmoil. Pics attached showing the two different locations on 4 & 5

20. Improve 3d Asset generation

    I love using 3D Asset Generation in Lens Studio, but it is geared toward generating "whole" things rather than single accessories commonly used for building lenses. If I ask for a "Cleopatra head accessory" - I will get the whole bust. If I ask for animal ears I will get the entire animal head etc. As a comparison, Meshy gave me 2 options with separated ears. Also if there is a way to separate generated 3D objects that are not touching each other right in Lens Studio or generate only one thing out of a pair like for ears or earrings - that would be great.
