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!

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

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

Lens Studio Recording should record in lens audio
Currently I have to use third party software in order to get audio recording from Lens Studio with video capture. I would like to do this just with Lens Studio.

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Particles Controller - using outdated gpu particle shader, fails to render on device without updating shader to new version manually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…
1 voteThanks 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!

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.

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…
1 voteAs 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!

GenAI for Environment Skyboxes (HDRI)
Like we have texture generation, mask generation, it would be very helpful to have one such tool for 360 Degree HRDI generation to create more dynamic lighting scenes.

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…

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…1 vote -
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…
1 voteThanks Liam for the thoughtful notes. I know that we discussed this recently in our Open house meeting.
We are continuing to explore ways to make this process better. We will offer updates when possible

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…

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.
1 voteHey 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!

Add More Nodes to the Script Graph
The script graph in Lens Studio 5.0.5 is missing a massive amount of nodes that makes it possible for non-programmers to build lenses. Even simple nodes like add and subtract are missing.
7 votesHey Eddy, just to clarify -- it is confirmed that Lens Studio 5.05 doesn't have a working Script Graph.
We are hoping to work on a solution in future releases. We hope that in the meantime -- you can use 4.55

increasing the number of qualified regions for the qualified posters
A proposal to increase the number of qualified regions for the qualified posters, which would help maintain the enthusiasm of Lens creators and encourage them to be more creative. The current situation feels discouraging and diminishes the motivation of Lens creators.
The qualified regions could be aligned with those eligible in all of Snapchat's reward programs, such as the regions qualified on Spotlight and Story reward.
2 votesHey Hakim,
Wanted to circle back here.
While we consider all feedback, it is important to understand that a country not being included as a qualified region is not a negative.
We select the qualified regions to serve as good sampling of the international perspective of your lens.
If you're lens performs well in these regions its also likely going to perform well in your own region.

Add a new counting period
Here’s a suggestion that aligns with the duration set for lens eligibility by adding a new counting period to the statistics list, which currently includes:
7 days 28 days All timeThe proposal is to add a 90-day counting period, which has become a specific timeframe for lens eligibility. This will help lens creators track their lens statistics over 90 days. Thank you.
2 votesThis is a good suggestion and we will look at when we can potentially execute it! Thanks!

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…

Improve Undo Command (Ctrl + Z)
In LS 4 you could undo after importing something to the Resources/Asset Browser panel.
In LS 5 it only undo stuff in the Objects/Scene Hierarchy panel.
So if you import something, regret it and try to undo, it's going to undo the last action on the objects panel instead of the actual last action that was the import.
4 votesHey Caio, thanks for the report. Currently this is how lens studio 5.0 is setup. We will look into potentially tackling this in the future. Thanks for keeping this on our radar.
