About Lens Studio

Lens Studio by Snap Inc. launched in December 2017 as a simple but powerful Mac and Windows desktop app open for the community to design and build their own Snapchat Lenses.

With the release of Lens Studio, developers, creators, and brands have many of the same tools Snap designers have to create and distribute their very own Snapchat augmented reality experiences. With Lens Studio, Snap is making augmented reality creation more accessible and the experiences within Snapchat more diverse.

The Lens Studio is designed for a wide range of creators to get started with AR on Snapchat -- from 2D designers to 3D modellers and animators. It also provides a scripting API to allow developers to code their own interactive experience.

The tool includes templates and tutorials to get you started, an easy way to submit your creation to Snap, and a near seamless way start sharing your creation with any Snapchatter -- no matter the device they are on. In essentially three steps, developers, artists, and any creative can build their experience, submit it, and then share it with your community to use on Snapchat.

Since launching the Lens Studio tool in December 2017, over 30,000 Lenses have been created by the Snapchat community, viewed over one billion times.

About Substance Painter

Substance Painter is the Substance suite’s painting software. It aims to take texturing to the next level, with features giving you full control on your creative output.

With its non-destructive workflow, you can work in low-definition and get a 4K output, or change any part of the texturing without shifting the rest of your work.

You can apply smart materials - materials with a certain number of customizable preset, either constructed in Substance Designer or downloaded from Substance Source. Smart masks help you bring the realistic texturing into the world of life-like, with dust, rust, scratches, and the like.

Substance Painter’s recent overhaul has given to software a wide viewport and minimalistic interface, allowing artists to focus on their assets – and the art of painting.
