Custom Texture (Photo, Video)

Custom Texture Mask allows you to get Unlimited Variations of Appearance by Loading Textures (Photos, Videos) from the Phone Gallery onto:

    • Offset Y,
    • Rotation.

Manual

All UI is built with Unity UI (uGUI), except the Color Picker.

Mask Parameters

Groups of Parameters (Bottom Center of the Screen)

Groups of Parameters are Toggles at the bottom of the Screen that can control the State of Mask.

UI Options:

  • Scrolling of Groups with Auto Activating & Snapping to the Screen Center.
  • Group Reset when Second Click on Toggle for Activated Group.
Tools (Right Side of the Screen)

The Tool allows you to control the state of the target parameter.

App Template implements several Unified Tools that are used by different Groups of Parameters to provide Seamless UX during App Session. A Tool or Tools for Group of Parameters are showing on the right side of the screen when switching to the Target Group.

Unity Asset provides 3 Tools.

Vertical Slider
  • Handle: Controls Normalized Numeric Value of Parameter (it can be from 0 to 1).
  • When Available: Reversing Button (Yin and Yang icon): e.g., mirrors the media.
  • Reset Button: Sets the Value to the Default State.
Color Picker

The Color Picker is built with the UI Toolkit in HSV mode and includes the following Visual Elements:

  • Display: Old/New Color.
  • Hue Wheel.
  • Saturation and Value (Brightness) Square.
  • Transparency (Alpha) Slider.
Unity Color Picker — UI Toolkit

It works according to the multiplication system, so if the Uploaded Texture has black areas, you can’t change the colors of those areas.

Text

Entered Text will be shown in the target place.

Controls (Left Side of the Screen)

The Controls are a set of buttons:

  • Upload the Texture (Media) from Phone Gallery:
    • Photo,
    • Video.
  • Randomize Mask: Generate an Artistic Mask in Just One Click. Text will be untouched.
  • Randomize Activated Group.
  • Reset: Set all Parameters to default values except the Media Texture itself.

Camera Modes, Record Button & Sharing

Unified Button Camera Record is intended for Every Camera Mode:

  • Photo: Take Photo,
  • Video: Start Video Recording. You can Stop Video Recording by a Tap on the Screen.

Photo Mode

Photos are saved automatically to Photos (iOS) or Gallery (Android) when you take a shot.
You can share a photo with the button in the left bottom corner (when available).

Video Mode

All UI elements are hidden during Video Recording. You can stop the recording by tapping anywhere on the screen. This technique provides maximum performance.

Videos are saved automatically to Photos (iOS) or Gallery (Android) after Stopping Recording.

The longer the video, the longer it takes to save it to the phone’s memory.

Media Folder

App’s Media Folder (Album) will be shown in the Console during saving, it depends on
the Hierarchy window: $ > $ Camera Modes Control > Capture from Screen : Output > Subfolder.

Limitations

The Resulting Video may have an Audio Delay:

  • The more powerful your mobile device, the lower the audio delay.

All Photos / Videos are saved automatically to Photos (iOS) / Gallery (Android), but Sharing Video with the Button in the App is Not Available on iOS.

AR Mode Requirements:

  • Front/Face/Selfie Camera.
  • iOS: iPhone X or higher.
  • Android: ARCore Supported Devices.
  • To improve Tracking Quality and Frames Per Second (FPS):
    • Increase the Amount of Lighting around you (mostly for Android).
    • Turn Off Power Saving mode that cuts up to 70% of CPU speed (Android).

Tutorial

This tutorial is relevant for AR Face Tracking App 1.2.
Tutorial for the previous version can be found only in the asset folder.

Getting Started with AR Face Tracking App

Folders & Files in the package by default:

  • Makaka Games;
  • Plugins;
  • XR.

Steps

If you have any issues with the first launch then just Reach Support with Invoice Number and Get Help.

If you read this tutorial from PDF, first check the latest docs online to get actual information.

  1. Create a New Unity Project with Unity 6000.3.3 & “Universal 3D” Template.
  2. File > Build Profiles > Platforms > Android, iOS > Switch Platform.
  3. Next Packages must be manually installed with Git & Unity Package Manager. I recommend using indicated versions to get a guaranteed experience:
  4. Download and import the AVPro Movie Capture 5.3.5 into Unity.
  5. Download and import the AR Face Tracking App into Unity.
    1. Go through the Warning Windows:
      1. Click “Import” to overwrite the Project Settings with predefined ones.
      2. Click “Install/Upgrade” for Unity Package Manager dependencies.
    2. “Import Unity Package” window:
      1. Click “Next”.
      2. Click “Import”.
  6. Next Packages are provided with Unity Package Manager, and they are already installed for this Asset by default. If packages are missing (Warning Window did not appear) then install them again with Package Manager:
    1. Unity UI 2.0.0:
      1. Always Required: Window > TextMeshPro > Import TMP Essential Resources.
    2. AR Foundation 6.3.2;
    3. Apple ARKit XR Plugin 6.3.2;
    4. Google ARCore XR Plugin 6.3.2;
    5. Input System 1.17.0.
  7. Reopen Unity Project.
  8. Open Scene: Makaka Games > Face Tracking AR App > Scenes > Demo.
  9. Required for Android:
    • Edit > Project Settings > Player > Android:
      • Resolution and Presentation > Resizeable Activity > Uncheck.
      • Other Settings > Configuration > Application Entry Point:
        • Activity > Check.
        • GameActivity > Uncheck.
  10. Test in the Unity Editor or Build.

“$” GameObject

Some Scenes have $ GameObject, which has the main control script for the scene.
Various modules interact with each other with the $.

Known Issues

Issue:

Solution:

  1. Run Xcode with the attached device and install system files for your updated iOS automatically.
  2. Delete the old system files: System Setting > General > Storage > Developer.
  3. Build without errors.

Testing and Building

All tested platforms support Non-AR Mode.
If AR Mode is available, user can see a button to activate AR Mode on the Demo Scene before the start.

iOS, Android: AR & Non-AR

Most of the log messages are displayed in the Development Build.

With the Development Build flag enabled or disabled (better, but still affected) during Live Log Monitoring via USB or Wi-Fi, some app features can work slowly for the first call (Color Picker, Media Picking, Input Field Text, Video Recording) — it’s normal.

The whole App works faster in Release Build (when Development Build flag is disabled) and without Live Log Monitoring via USB or Wi-Fi.

Unity Editor

You can test All Modes in the Unity Editor: the AR mode uses ARKit and ARCore face meshes by default on iOS and Android platforms, respectively.

macOS note: the microphone is activated for Video Recording when permission is granted in:
System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone > Unity Hub.

Tested with Platforms

Mobile Platforms:

  1. AR & Non-AR: iOS on iPhone 15;
  2. AR & Non-AR: Android on Samsung Galaxy A71.
