1. Improving Developer Support for Camera Kit

   I believe Snap’s Camera Kit, both on App and Web, is an exceptional product. Its accessibility and stability are truly world-class, making it a valuable tool for developers.

   However, I’ve noticed that the support for developers could be improved. For instance, there seem to be fewer responses from Snap employees in the Discord channel, and the app review time, which is typically expected to take 3-5 days or up to a week, has now stretched to over a month. This can be challenging for developers working on high-value projects.

   I sincerely hope that more support can be provided to developers to ensure a smoother experience for all parties involved. Thank you for your consideration.

2. Dual Camera Lenses

   I would like the ability to make a lens that uses the front facing camera and the world facing camera at the same time. The reason is so that I can animate blendshapes on the face mesh with MY FACE while the camera feed is from the world facing camera.

   Hi Kevin. Happy to come back to this and let you know that dual camera lenses support was released as part of Lens Studio 5.6. You can find the Reverse Camera Texture in Lens Studio's resources, and a helper Custom Component in the Asset Library. For more see: https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/features/camera/dual-camera

   
   

   
   

3. Development of the content of upcoming explanations

   Hello SnapAR Team

   I hope this topic is important in your modern journey

   We would like you to focus and urge that there is a channel or course that provides explanations for interactive lens makers, explanations of the JavaScript, TypeScript and the game lens in detail, and even if it is complex, they will be interested in this field in large numbers and we will raise the creative rate of professional lens makers, and a qualitative leap for current makers.

   We did publish a new physics Games Tutorial series this year that think really helps teach this a lot better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qFNnicTXRw

   
   

   We also did this written tutorial on Bitmoji Running games: https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/tutorials/tutorials/bitmoji-runner-game/runner-game-1

   
   

   While there will always be more to learn -- we feel like this tutorial fills a big gap. We are hoping for more important additions to our gaming workflows really soon!

4. Optimize my lenses website for mobile

   Right now the my-lenses site does not work on mobile. It used to kinda work even though it wasn’t sized properly and I used it often.

   It would be nice to get a proper mobile optimized view. It’s very useful for when clients need a link and I’m out and about or when I go do something else away from my pc when the lens is in review.

   We are excited to have delivered this last year!

6. Edit options for Head/Face mesh

   In previous versions of Lens Studio, you could select whether the eye/mouth mesh would be displayed. Now there's no way to enable/disable that.

7. Native Import Support For Gaussian Splats

   Observing how the 3D industry is shifting and progressing especially photogrammetry being out performed by NeRFs and Gaussian Splats, it would be krazyy to have a native import and rendering support for richer format Splats recorded by the likes of Luma Labs AI and Polycam etc. Right now the main challenge is the 3D object export from these processing is nowhere near the quality of splats. I know it can be challenging to implement it but it would be very useful to have it in LS

   We actually have built an "Expanding Text Input" asset in the asset library. We hope this helps achieve this easily!

10. Change the color of texture generation UI buttons

    I find myself clicking on the "apply" button everytime I'm regenerating a texture. That happens because the apply button is highlighted in blue, while the regenerate button is in grey.

    My suggestion is to highlight both buttons in blue.

    So we had made this edit earlier this year. If you edit any of the fields after generation, "Regenerate" automatically gets refocused instead of the "Apply" button. We hope that helps you with regenerating assets a lot more quickly!

11. Broken Asset Library Assets (Chain Physics)

    As soon as I import the chain physics asset, I get a critical error and the lens stops running

    It seems to be missing PositionBasedDynamicsModule and JSMathLibraryModule

13. Outdated documentation on Face Image Picker Texture

    https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/features/ar-tracking/face/face-image-picker-texture

    In the very beginning this LS 5.0 page says that the Face Image Picker Texture is deprecated and we should use Media Picker Texture instead. However, clicking on the link takes us to a page from the 4.55.1 documentation.

    It also mentions a Face Image Picker Template that is only available for LS 4.

    The page recommends the template but it provides a link to download the Face Image Picker Mesh, which is a Lens Studio Object (.lso). However it can't be imported to LS 5.

    Thanks for calling this out Caio!

    
    

    We've updated, and it should be fixed now: https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/assets-pipeline/2d/media-picker-texture

    
    

    You should also be able to get the asset that was in the previous template by looking for "Pizza Delivery" in the Asset Library. Or, by downloading the mesh itself from the doc you mentioned.

    
    

    By the way, in the latest release of Lens Studio, we also added a new capability, to be able to pick more than one image in case it's useful :) https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/features/ui/camera-roll-widget

14. Outdated Documentation & Deprecated API - Face Expressions

    I'm going through the documentation and this page about Face Expressions shows some code lines that give "deprecated API" warnings in Lens Studio. There's also one dead link "RenderMeshVisual"
    https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/features/ar-tracking/face/face-expressions

    This API page indeed says that "getExpressionWeightByName" is deprecated, but it doesn't say what we should use instead.
    https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/api/lens-scripting/classes/Built-In.FaceRenderObjectProvider.html

    However this one says nothing about it being deprecated:
    https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/api/lens-scripting/classes/Built-In.Expressions.html

    It's a bit hard to know what to use.

15. GenAI

    So with the new GenAI on lens studio being a thing, does this prevent creators from being invited to SLN? Considering the entire SLN network could be flooded with unoriginal 3D or AR projects?

    Just asking for feedback and if it is even worth it to create your own projects in hopes of becoming and OLC for Snapchat.

    Hi AJ,

    
    

    We understand that there is a concern that AI tools is making lens creation more difficult.

    
    

    Here is how we view it. SLN is about finding exceptional talent that push the boundaries of their tools.

    
    

    Our primary criteria for SLN today is:

    • Technical prowess: Do you show the ability to produce lenses that show a variety of skills beyond simple lens creation?
    • Craftsmanship: Are your lenses well designed and cleanly produced?
    • Originality and Creativity: Are your lenses unique and creative? We aren’t interested in duplicate concepts. We are looking for developers who do something new and unique.
    • Professionalism: Are your communications with the Snap team and other community members representative of respect and professionalism?

    
    

    However, as AI progresses, we may also be excited by developers who show the ability to create really compelling content quickly with those tools. However, it won't stop us from rewarding the developers we have been continuing to highlight for some time

    
    

    You can find more info about SLN here: https://ar.snap.com/snaplensnetwork?lang=en-US

18. API Search Filter

    When I'm writing a script I usually want to search for something in the API, but whenever I go to the documentation, the search engine shows me a bunch of other things like templates, guides, etc. A filter in the search box to let us search for API entries only would be very helpful.

20. Lens Creator Rewards (Lens Studio 5.0)

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to provide some feedback and request a revision to the current Lens Creator Rewards program.

    As an active Lens creator, I am proud to share that my Lenses consistently achieve between 100 million to 200 million views, with over 100,000 qualified posters per Lens. Despite these impressive metrics, I have identified a significant concern regarding the requirement for unique qualified posters in the rewards criteria.

    The current structure, which prioritizes unique qualified posters, presents a challenge. If a single Lens performs exceptionally well, as mine often do, there is little incentive for me to create new Lenses. This is because it becomes increasingly difficult to meet the unique qualified posters requirement for subsequent Lenses, even if the new Lenses perform equally well or better.

    Other social networking platforms do not impose such restrictions, and I believe this requirement stifles creativity. If a creator achieves 400 million views and over 1 million qualified posters (from the specified countries), there should still be opportunities to earn rewards for future high-performing Lenses. Under the current system, there is a lack of motivation for creators to produce new content if they know they are unlikely to receive further rewards.

    Additionally, I propose that instead of the unique qualified posters requirement, only the qualified posters from the required countries should be considered. This would simplify the process for creators and still maintain high standards for content quality. Removing the unique qualified posters requirement and focusing solely on the required countries’ qualified posters will make it easier for creators to continue producing innovative and engaging content.

    I propose that the Lens Creator Rewards program be updated to remove the unique qualified posters requirement. This change would encourage continued creativity and innovation among creators, ensuring that high-quality content is consistently produced for the platform.

    Thank you for considering my feedback. I look forward to your response and am hopeful for a revision that supports and rewards the creative efforts of all Lens creators.

    Best regards

    It sounds like there might be some confusion about how the current program works based on the feedback you had shared so I will do my best to respond to your points.

    1. A single Lenses performance will not have any impact on future Lenses submitted. That goes to say that if you create a Lens that does exceptionally well, it will not limit the earning or engagement potential of future Lenses in any way.
    2. Each Lens’ engagement is calculated individually, and the rewards can overlap. We hope that the motivation lies within the ability to increase your earned awards based on the number of Lenses that reach the engagement threshold. The more Lenses you create that reach that 15,000 Unique Qualified Posters, the more you will earn.
    3. Our program currently only counts Qualified Posters from the qualified countries as you described!
    4. Unfortunately we cannot issue rewards to every Lens submitted to the program, as much as we would like to! The unique qualified poster requirement exists to provide Creators with a clear target to reach and helps ensure that innovative and high-quality is something that we continue to reward.

    As always, you can find the full details of the program here. Our team has spent a lot of effort making sure that the program’s new format is very transparent to the Creator Community. We encourage you to continue to submit and enroll new Lenses into the program. Based on your past success that you’ve shared above, I’m confident that you will have no issue earning rewards with new Lenses you create!
