Making a snapchat lens? First ebb and flow into the effect library and craze with the slightest variations from each effect to fit your own creativity. ForthisLens, I birthed a nextlevel background through the use of Snapchat’sBackgroundAI generation. Prepare to be dazzled!
The real magic happened once I unleashed the Face Cutouts tool. I plucked my eyes off my face (digitally, of course!) and glued them onto an uninspired background. I mean, how awesome is seeing the world from a different perspective? And stacking effects is quite easy, too-upper right corner, hit the ‘+’ button, and go crazy!
I have been messing about with the new Face Gen tool and have created my very own lens. The results, well, not quite the mirror image of what I had set out to produce, but still very much worth the enjoyment!
