Hey Snapchat Team,
Can you provide me with an overview that hints out the cost of elements in terms of datasize?
For example: placing a 2D Sprite is much less dataconsuming than placing a Billboard or a particle system ...
I am just starting to build lenses and it would be very helpful to know in advance which assets turn out "bigger" than others.
Thanks alot.
Cheers L.

Please enter a brief description of your issue:
Unfortunately, it's likely due to the operating system or hardware you're using – since they don't meet the system requirements for Lens Studio.
Still, we hear you loud and clear, and are logging the issue in case there's ever a workaround we can provide!
Minimum Requirements
Operating System: Windows 10 (64 bit); MacOS 10.11+
Hardware: Minimum of Intel Core i3 2.5Ghz or AMD Phenom II 2.6Ghz with 4 GB RAM; Intel HD Graphics 4000 / Nvidia GeForce 710 / AMD Radeon HD 6450 or better; screen resolution of 1280x768 or higher
Keep an eye out for a followup email from us. We may have a couple more questions for you, or we might already have a solution to offer.
Happy creating!
Hi there, generally speaking Textures are going to be more expensive in size on disk and memory (both 2D Sprite and Billboard utilize textures). And textures that are animated are probably the biggest culprits for size on disk and memory. The best thing you can do with textures is make sure they are compressed and are not larger resolution than they need to be. Refer to the 2D optimization here for strategies:

thank you.
