Full Spark AR Masterclass By Eddy Adams Is Out
Wanting to learn how to make Instagram filters, but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you’re an AR hobbyist that wants to take it to the next level? Well, Eddy Adams has just finished his Spark AR Masterclass that you can enroll in for free!
The course is built around a 12-chapter sci-fi fantasy adventure that puts you in the role of the hero. It’s your duty to investigate a strange meteorite shower and eventually save the world. That is if you survive.
The early chapters start with the very basics. Simple face masks and some 2D texture creation. Then, all of the Spark AR template projects are explored, breaking down how they’re built.
As the chapters continue, more complex concepts and techniques are introduced. You can learn 3D modeling, texture painting, and even landscape generation. These topics branch out of Spark AR to utilize many programs essential in creating complex custom assets.
At the very end of the course, Eddy shares advice on how you can structure a career around Spark AR, templates on how you might display your filters on social, and all the programs he uses on a daily basis.
Eddy’s goal when creating this course was to share high-quality Spark AR training material with the world. He decided to make a fully-featured free version in order to reach as many people as possible. The whole point of this project was never about the money. It’s about spreading knowledge and building a community.
