Great tutorial, thanks! One tip for the quadrants PNG: you can turn on rulers in Photoshop (cmd+r), set them to percentage, and shift+drag guides out to 50% so your squares are precise.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Planning on using this to create engagement for a music release I have coming up. This has set the foundation for me to play around with,
Hey man! I watched every of your Spark tutorial and I like how you talk and explain! Keep going! I was wondering if you know a way to cut out the underlay face so we can have a black hole instead, behind our animation. Thanks!!
We could either apply a flat black material or create an occlusion mesh that essentially cuts away from other layers. If you have an example you could show to help me better understand what you mean :)
Hello, this is a great tutorial. I used only one split down the middle of the face. It splits great, but I have a visible line down my face. Can you suggest how to resolve this? Thank you.
Man! You are so good! I did my best but I have a problem, some lines are visible on the face And my eyes look like “double” near to the upper eyelid. Do you have any idea how to solve it? Thanks!
Thank you so much for your videos! They are very helpful! Tell me how to create a shadow from a 3d object on the face, for example from glasses or a hat?
Hello, Currently there is no reliable inbuilt shadow tools BUT you could apply a Gaussian blur 2D transparent Shadow texture onto a surface behind object and in front of surface e.g. glasses - Transparent Glasses shadow texture (Plane or Second Facemesh) - Facemesh.
I have an issue with a material on a second facemesh not showing in app but they do show up in spark AR. I am super new with Spark (As in started today) and I did some face distortion in Blender and created a new Face mesh. This works fine however I also wanted to try creating freckles. I added a new face mesh for that and added a material and custom texture. This shows up in Spark AR but when I try it out in IG and FB only the face distortion and skin smoothing show up. Anyone know what I am doing incorrectly?
There could be a variety of reasons this could be happening from incorrect generation of face distortion mesh not being able to offset materials correctly in real time or general issues with the way effects can be deployed post spark AR studio building on mobile devices. Have you tried some troubleshooting such as turning compression off and ignoring Depth Mask tests / write to depth mask options under advanced render options? I would post this query on the Spark AR Community page on Facebook as there are alot more clever people over in that group who may be able to offer advice :)
Hi first of all you are doing great guides! I have a question is there a way to do a screen tap sit-down that when I click on the screen I can change facetracker0 to facetracker1, I'd love to help 🙏
Great tutorial!! Easy to follow and super clear. I've run into another problem though, on spark ar, the moving quadrants are seamless, but when I load it up on my phone, there is a weird gap/overlap where the parts meet. Any idea what to do about it?
working great thanks ! but i have a Q. so i wnat to add my last matirial but my texture wont fit (i wanna add MADARA EYES) how i can adujste them that they will be matching perfectly ?
You could try the pupil tracking technique OR apply a facemesh with eyes disabled and apply a material with alpha that has the eyes in the position eyes would be on the face asset package available via the help section within the app
Other design programs include Gimp, Paintshop Pro, ProCreate any program that lets you have layers and save with transparancy would be sufficient. You can do alot with free or cheap software does not require Adobe at all
The files on gumroad are the spark ar project files as shown in videos if you ever have any issues with files or find anything missing email help@catalystchannel.co.uk and can fix :)
Hello. My girl created a mask, it was approved, but the mask icon does not appear on her page. When copying a link to a mask for everyone, it works and the statistics do not even have views (330), but there is no mask icon on the page, which could be a problem.
I presume this effect was uploaded to the Spark AR Hub (online) if there are any issues regarding icons not appearing or review process issues these should be highlighted with the Facebook developer team facebook.com/sparkarhub/ as to why this has happened I have no idea. As long as icon was submitted and effect approved it should appear on platform of choice and be accessible via their profile.
Hello! I have the same problem than some others, I've got a fine line between my 4 squares and it shows on the mask... I turned off the advanced option, put the underlayer on another layer and disabled compression but it is still there... Any idea why? I also have the bug on the eyes and mouth even with the advanced option turned off aha
So buffer is off, depth is off. Compressions off and underlayer and quads on different layers. Are the alpha masks used perfect quadrants of a square? As for mouth and eye bug does this appear only in emulator or on device? The mouth does tend to have some issues with more recent versions of spark I have found. If you want to send my the AR packaged project I can take a look or screenshot of setups from textures to mats e.t.c I can take a look. @IntARMedia on twitter
@@CatalystChannel That's very kind of you! I'll try to re-upload the squares but I think they were fine... The bug appears on both the emulator and device
Im getting lost at the photoshop part where he split it but saved it as a quadrant. I can only get it to save the square as a whole not but segmented as quadrants with the facial placement. Can anyone help. New to PS.
great tutorial i like how u dont take ur time like other tutorials and jump straight to the juice i have one problem while creating this, the 4 face segment we created have a line segmenting them and it doesnt seem seamless looks like this i.imgur.com/KEeGlv4.jpg any way to fix? great tutorial anyway
You may need to adjust the advanced render options on materials and turn off depth mask and buffer. Also make sure the 4 quadrants are on separate layer to the mask that is revealed :)
Hey mate, great work! Me and my friend are looking to create a series of comedy sketches based on the work and correspondence of Russian writer Anton Chekhov. We are shit at technology but we were wondering if you would you be interested in creating an AR mask of Anton Chekhov?))
The force is strong with you!!, thanks man.
You're so good at explaining this thank you, it's so helpful!
You Could also remove the animation box and use mouth openness on the progress slot! it works!

Alucinante la explicación! muy buena forma de contar el cómo construir el filtro de manera sencilla
Hello, this is a great tutorial. I used only one split down the middle of the face. It splits great, but I have a visible line down my face. Can you suggest how to resolve this? Thank you.
Easiest fix is to add an extra pixel line either side so they slightly overlap mask wise
@@CatalystChannel thank you so much, that worked perfectly
thanks for this tutorial - really helpful
It looks very easy on you ✌️😊
I often have to look back at own guides to remember ;)
Wow 🥺 you teach me the great idea to do it

Who can post the four square file? I cant create it. I use pixlr. Thank you
Hi, this is a wonderful tutorial I have seen, is there a way by coding?
There is if you reference the object within javascript and then add a transition with new values x,y,z. I don't have code to hand
Great tutorial dude! Thyank you :)

Hi sir, I wanna ask, can I add face mask under the face mask that already opened? And add some music when the mouth is open? Thank you☺️🙏
thanks sir
Hi there! Great tutorial! I was just wondering if there was a way to make the face quads glow as they come out?
We could trigger an animation that plays on mouth open as a layer below the quads for example

it works, very good!

Ensure advanced render options are off and turn compression off on textures used for face split

The best 👍🏻

hi, do you know what version of SPARK should I use for Mac High Sierra 10.13 ?
Unfortunately not, I think I was using versions in the 70's at that time
@@CatalystChannel ah ok, thank you for the hint!!
working great thanks !
but i have a Q.
so i wnat to add my last matirial but my texture wont fit (i wanna add MADARA EYES) how i can adujste them that they will be matching perfectly ?

What other app do you recommend if we don’t have photoshop on the MacBook Air ?

Catalyst thanks alot
Hello, its possible to make a patch to attach alpha texture?
hey! loved this one.
Can i use this one as my instagram filter ?
Feel free to use and modify as you see fit and use where you want
Sorry, if I buy the project on gumroad, would I get the entire file, or just the assets?

Hey man I really didn't quite get the thing whith the squares and I don't have photoshop,so can you tell us other apps capable of this.

Im getting a lot of distortion around the eyes and mouth. Anyone know what I can do to solve this?
You can try adjusting depth test and compressions settings on material this may help

How do you remove your face follower object

make sure you save it as PNG and have no background
damn thisisso coolbro
Someone help the policy update blocks the screen and I can’t do anything
Does spark ar studionuses blender as it's engine , it sure looks like it
Not as its driving engine but blender assets can be imported into Spark AR
Класс! Спасибо))
excuse me, I'm from Indonesia I want to ask you, do you have social media that can be contacted?
I have a problem with filters made by you
I want to show the results of the filter that I made
thankyou
help@catalystchannel.co.uk is contact address, replies may take some time due to workloads.
@ 2:10 when I add the facetracker0 as my texture for my material it just turns blue
help? :)
This seems to be a bug with v74
@@CatalystChannel Thanks for the quick responds :)
@Omri Reuven unfortunately it cant be fixed ourside its down to facebook to update the software and fix I am afraid.
can it detect more than one face? if 2/3 people can it ?
You can under project properties add more users and assign each facetracker to a different person. First person detected is 1 e.t.c
How can I get the 4 white squares without photoshop?
You could use any photo editing program as long as can split a square into 4 and fill one corner for example. Does not have to be squares
if you need a white box, you can contact me via gmail himawan.riswan18@gmail.com

Did you set advanced render options and layers correctly? This should work as we used it in a workshop this week
you should make a special mask for your haircut, cap or something
