What will I learn?

Don will show you how to take a basic, animated model in Cinema 4D, export it in the correct format, import it into Spark AR, make sure it’s animating and placed correctly, apply a texture, add an environment, and upload for approval. This course is not about the complicated inner-workings of Spark AR, but rather the workflow between programs. It will help kick-start your understanding of the process so you can begin your AR journey. Subsequent mini-courses will cover other various topics in the world of Spark AR.
