For my second assignment I chose to re-texture my masks and import them into Lens Studio to create as filters. For each mask I wanted to adjust the textures and shape to make sure they fit well on a users face. For The first mask, Spooky Hallows, I gave it a re-texture to a gold, matalic bronze, and added streaks of black drips on and around the eye. Very faintly, I also added a blue haze within the black eyes. I lost a lot of high quality resolution scaling down my work to make sure I fit the mandatory file size.The masks golden, and matilic bronze texture match perfectly with an animation effect I found on Lens Studio. The effect uses these dark, similar colored butterflies that fly towards the user until you lift a hand and they turn white and fleeting representing the innocents of this dark beauty.
For my second mask, The Revenant, I re-textured my skull to have a more stone-like and natural feel. I lightly stretched my skull around in sculpt mode to make sure it fit well on my face mesh in Lens Studio. Likewise with my first mask, I had to scale down the resolution. Fortunately I had not lost a ton of quality like I had with my first and third mask. Once I successfully imported my mask into Lens Studio, I found a really simple and excellent animation effect that brought a little more life to my work. This animation effect is hot orange embers that float from left to right.
For my third and final mask, Baldy, I had to dramatically re-stretch and drop the resolution quite a bit to fit within Lens Studio. After importing my work into Lens Studio, I was nearly at my max file size limit. This mask was the most amount of work because I had to jump back and forth into Blender to re-mesh and re-texture my work to make sure it properly fit onto the face mesh I added in Lens Studio. This lens also took me a couple attempts to get published due to a runtime error. Due to the larger file size of this mask, it has no animation, only the mask itself.
