Spark AR Studio is a program for Windows that lets you create attractive effects and filters in augmented reality that you can later share on your social networks. Specifically, these designs are prepared to be used with the camera features on Instagram and Facebook.

In order to get started with Spark AR Studio, you’ll need some relatively advanced knowledge of design and 3D modeling. However, the program itself offers templates that make it simple to make your own creations even without any prior experience in this field.

The interface in Spark AR Studio is designed so that the effects you make are ready to be adapted to the platforms where you’re going to use them. That’s why it gives you a window that shows the proportions of the main smartphones on the market. This way, you can see what the results are going to look like on the screens where they’re going to be used.

To sum it up, Spark AR Studio is a pretty intuitive program for creating original filters and effects for your Instagram and Facebook Stories. You just need a little bit of technical experience and a whole lot of motivation to start embedding layers and light and material simulations to get incredibly surprising results.
