Tutorial: How to Add a 3D Head to Your Instagram Filters in Spark AR Studio

Step 1: Importing a 3D Model

1. Open Spark AR Studio and go to the Spark AR Asset Library on the left side of the screen.
2. Click on the "3D Objects" tab and search for "heads" to find a collection of different head models.
3. Select a head model you like and click on "Import Free" to download and import it into Spark AR Studio.

Step 2: Adding the 3D Model to Your Scene

4. After the download is complete, close the AR library and find the imported 3D model in the assets panel.
5. Drag and drop the 3D model into your scene.
6. If the 3D model is too large, select it in the scene and adjust the scale values to make it smaller (e.g., scale down from 1 to 0.15 on all three axes).

Step 3: Adding Face Tracking

7. To make the head move with the face, add a face tracker to the scene by clicking on the "+" in the scene panel and searching for "face tracker."
8. Drag and drop the head model into the face tracker object to link them together.

Step 4: Adding an Occluder

9. To ensure that the head aligns correctly with the face, go back to the Spark AR Asset Library and search for "occluder" under the home tab.
10. Import the head occluder and drag it into your scene.
11. Make sure the head occluder is positioned above the face tracker in the scene panel to allow the face to be visible.

Step 5: Adjusting the Head Alignment

12. Select the head under the face tracker in the scene panel.
13. Use the transform tools in the 3D space to adjust the position, rotation, and scale of the head to align it properly with the face.
14. Play around with the adjustments until the head aligns correctly with the face and looks natural.

Step 6: Finalizing the Head Filter

15. Test the head filter on your device to ensure it works as expected.
16. Make any necessary adjustments to the head alignment based on the testing results.
17. Once satisfied with the head filter, you have successfully created a 3D head filter in Spark AR Studio.
