VFX Gen AI
It would be very handy to have a VFX Gen AI tool. Even just for quickly prototyping things. Would like it to generate textures for it as well, so if I said generate a vfx asset of confetti falling, it would generate a flip book of confetti images and build the vfx. Then I'd go in and tweak it as needed.

Feature Suggestion for Lens Web Builder & Mobile App: Add Lens Tag Input on Submission
Hey team,
As a Snap Lens Network partner, we at Arexa & Bharat XR have been actively hosting SnapAR meetups across India — bringing together creators, students, and professionals to explore the power of AR using Snapchat’s ecosystem. In our recent sessions, we introduced participants to the new Lens Web Builder and Lens Studio mobile app, and the feedback has been phenomenal. The tools are incredibly easy, fun, and accessible — especially for first-time users.
That said, we wanted to share a small but valuable suggestion based on our experience:
During our meetups, we ask all participants to use our…

Preview Stops Working with TypeScript Errors
When writing TypeScript code that contains errors, the preview stops functioning, even if the erroneous code has not been added to the scene. Additionally, the logger does not display any information regarding the errors.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Write TypeScript code with syntax or type errors.
- Observe that the preview stops working.
- Check the logger for error messages.
Expected Behavior: The preview should continue to work, and the logger should display relevant error messages indicating what is wrong with the TypeScript code.
Actual Behavior: The preview ceases to function, and no error messages are shown in the logger.

UI Feedback Improvement for Importing External Resources in Lens Studio
Hi Lens Studio Team,
I’d like to request an improvement to the UI feedback when importing external resources into Lens Studio.
This morning, I attempted to add a script to a new component by searching for it by name. Lens Studio found the script, but since it wasn’t in the project folder, it automatically began importing it. However, because there was no clear indication of the import process (apart from the console log, which I didn’t check immediately), I attempted to add the script multiple times, only realizing later that it was still being imported. Eventually, this caused Lens Studio…
3 votesHey Vincent,
As attached, we do have a WIP indicator. However, it would be good for us to understand the crash a little bit better. (We are behind on this request, so you might have it anymore) but feel free to send the script.

Automatically move created assets into folders
When adding a new component, it often creates many new assets (more than the previous lens version), eg: for materials, shaders, images, etc. These quickly pile up and get messy in the asset manager. If assets were automatically organised into folders (like in Spark AR) it would save time developing.
26 votesSo currently, all new assets that are created for the past couple of months -- are being built this way. The assets will move into a single folder.
We will scope whether or not updates to all old assets make sense!

A/B testing in lenses
During the latest SLN all hands the team gave some insights into game lenses that caught my eye:
Having the user's front camera visible with picture in picture lead to higher engagement on spotlight. Versus focusing entirely on the game lead to higher retention, and greater shareability between friends.
As lenses become more and more complex, it would be great to have more insight into what makes our lenses engaging. Having a A/B testing suite would go a long way for optimization.
Give us the ability able to swap out or toggle certain components, and see which variant gives the…

Model tracking (like Vuforia does)
Would be awesome if we could have model tracking in the future! So far i can only find Vuforia doing this (uploading a 3D model of a real world object and creating a tracker from this so we can add 3D content over/behind a product, bag, ect)! Like a landmarker but smaller and movable :)

Old ML Face models don't load in LS 5.0
The old models I created while Snap ML was in beta don't load in Lens Studio 5.0.
I also tried importing the .dng file to LS 5, but I can't make it work. Is it possible to make it compatible with LS 5? Currently I need to create these kind of project in LS 4.
Also I feel like the quality of the models created today is lower than the ones created during the closed beta.
Thanks
Caio1 voteWe've been hearing this feedback. Let me further discuss it with the team and try to get back to you soon!

Modifier tools with hard numbers
In LS I would like to hold Shift or CTRL (CMD) and then when I manipulate (Rotate, Move) a sceneobject I want it to snap to whole numbers: rotating with 15 degress per 'snap' or move whole 10 centimeters.

Physics collider is not fitting the visual
Physics colliders are not enclosing the visuals (mesh) correctly. This problem is for automatic fit and the manual size.
I understand there are workarounds like creating a manual sized collider in a separate sceneobject under the same parent. But that is too time consuming and introduces bugs. Getting a bound of a mesh should not be to difficult of a problem. ;-)
An other feature would be introducing an offset to the collider

Numpad dot in Inspector
When I use my default keyboard settings (Dutch - English) I can't use the numpad . (dot) in the Inspector window. Which means I can't make a float number like 0,5, it always make just a 0 and a 5 which makes a 5. A workaround is to use English -American as a keyboard setting but that's not always handy to some users.

Importing 3d asset bring focus to LS
On Windows (not checked on Mac) when I drag drop a .fbx, .glb, etc. on my assets panel with a screen (half) obscured over Lens Studio the import dialog misses focus. I need to explicitly give LS focus via pressing the icon on the taskbar to get the import dialog back.

Having a checkbox in the LS settings that checks scale in X, Y, Z automatically.
In LS 4.55 there was a checkbox in the settings that when checked the default scale was on all three axis of a SceneObject

Receive notifications when you're near a custom location lens.
I propose adding a new feature allows users to receive automatic notifications when they enter an area with a Custom Location Lens or pass near one. The notification will appear directly on the Snapchat app with a brief description of the lens, making it easier to discover and experience."
Benefits:
This feature simplifies the discovery of Custom Location Lenses, whether the user is at the location or nearby. It increases engagement with the lenses at the right time and place. It also supports interactive campaigns and creators by enhancing the visibility of custom lenses and boosting interaction with brands or…6 votes -
GenAI for SFX
While we now have exhaustive tools and features for visual generation, one of the way experiences really come alive is sounds and music etc. as well in addition to the visual appearance. A genAI tool like this would really accelerate the high quality development

Use ChatGPT or Claude to code Lenses. (Context7 MCP with Claude)
Hi everyone, as you might know, editing Lens Studio code with LLMs is a pain as NOTHING is up to date.
There is a new trends now based on MCP and Claude where the updated docs of every tools are on Context7 so Claude answers are always using latest docs.What are your thought on that ? Would be super helpful for everyone to finally unlock this for your users.

Dynamic Image Tracker
Similar to Vuforia’s runtime image target API, it would be great if Lens Studio supported Dynamic Image Tracking, allowing creators to create and load image targets at runtime instead of predefining them during lens creation.
Use Case:
• Let users scan custom images (from camera or gallery) during the lens experience.
• Enable personalized AR interactions, dynamic campaigns, and scalable retail activations.Why It Matters:
This would unlock real-time, user-generated tracking, pushing the creative and commercial potential of Snap AR far beyond static image markers.
2 votesDefinitely see the appeal here. We will review to see if this is something that aligns with us. Thanks!

Arms, leg and hand segmentation
Hi! how are you! I wonder if is possible to make a segmentation for both hands, legs, and arms. and also can be convenient that we can choose if is both or only one, because sometimes I try to make effects that work only for a especific part of the body
2 votesHey Florencia,
It's an interesting idea and we will pass it along.
If the team chimes in one way or another -- we will update here!

Body segmentation textures per person
Currently the body segmentation texture segments all visible bodies into one mask, it would be convenient to have an option to specify an ID that determines which body gets segmented in the mask texture.
