Hi!
Saw the post to get dynamic data into lenses. Wondering if there's any way to set up textures in a dynamic way. Either by sharing a JPG in text format or by sharing the URL.
Thanks in advance!
ps. We are applying for the Camera Kit partner program. Maybe there's something we can do to use as an Asset from there.
What system are you using?
Have you downloaded the latest version of Lens Studio?
Is this issue causing Lens Studio to crash?

What is this most relevant to?
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!
Assuming you already have a way of passing in dynamic data, like a Snap Kit app...
You can do it using https://lensstudio.snapchat.com/api/classes/ProceduralTextureProvider/
and passing to your lens the pixel data. You will need to use compression algorithms to pass most images without crashes or performance issues though.
Thanks a lot Brandon / Apoc! That's what I needed. Have been playing with this for a couple days now, but can't find a way to convert the images into Uint8Array that works in LensStudio.
I'm developing in React Native and could get a Uint8Array and inject it to the lens as an Array, but it won't work since the array's length is too short. Tried using the same array on the Web with Blob, and it works like a charm there.
This is how I'm creating the array that will be injected into Lens Studio to render the image:
axios({method: 'get',
url: imageString,
responseType: 'arraybuffer'
})
.then(function (response) {
constuintPic=newUint8Array(response.data)
constarray=Array.from(uintPic)
}
Any idea what might be going wrong?
Updating for future reference.
Found out I can use Jimp, a NodeJS library for image processing that is compatible with React Native (at least for version 0.14.0)
Jimp.read(url,(err,image) => {console.log("🚀 ~ image.bitmap: image.bitmap)
});
