Inspiration

Disney+'s The Mandalorian has taken the internet by storm. Alongside, Baby Yoda has garnered his claim to meme fame. With all the adorable Baby Yoda meme's, I have been inspired to turn myself into Baby Yoda.

What it does

Places a Baby Yoda mask on a recognized facial structure on Instagram through their filters feature.

  • Tinkered with Photoshop and Blender
  • Uploaded the Baby Yoda image asset that I created onto Spark AR
  • Uploaded the Spark AR filter that I created

Challenges I ran into

  • Making the 3D object (Baby Yoda's head)
  • Aligning the 3D object (Baby Yoda's head) with my head

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  • Learning new tricks in Blender
  • Learning about Spark AR and its functionalities

What I learned
