Animating Expressive Faces SparkAR Creators Days / July 2021

Spark AR Workshop: Animating expressive faces

Come and join me in an interactive class in which we will learn all the ins and outs of animating expressive faces in Spark AR!

We will animate a 3D face using gestures and BlendShapes, use patches and code to increase the range of gesture detection amplifying subtle interactions and also work with reactive animations and additional details to enhance the expressiveness of the users.
