Create Your Own AR Effects for Instagram Stories With This Free Tool
Anyone can now create their own AR effects for Instagram Stories using Facebook Spark AR Studio .
Originally announced during Facebook’s developer conference, F8, the tool went from closed beta to open beta earlier this year. This means that anyone can register to use it, but this tool may not be for everyone.
Creating an AR effect isn’t as easy as just dragging and dropping a few things. While the tool is available to everyone, developers will benefit a lot from it. Not that everyone can’t try it out, but some people will need a harder learning curve than others. However, there are several tutorials out there.
Those who really take the time to learn how to use the tool can add their own sound files and 3D objects to the mix, and use Facebook’s free resource library. Users can also import high-fidelity models into the tool thanks to Facebook’s partnership with Sketchfab.
Once you’ve created the perfect Instagram or Facebook Story filter, you can also post it to social media right from the tool and track how many people are using it.
You can download Spark AR Studio from the dedicated website right now.
