• Create a new Unity project.

• Open the sample scene under AR Foundation\Scenes\FaceTracking\FaceMesh.unity.
• Set your API key in echoAR.cs inside the echoAR\echoAR.prefab using the the inspector.
• Select AR Session Origin in the hierarchy. Double click FaceMeshPrefab under AR Face Manager in the inspector. Set Material Size to 1
• Add an image hologram by uploading the makeup.png file from the images folder to the echo3D console.
• Overwrite the existing echoAR/CustomBehaviour.cs script with the new CustomBehaviour.cs file.

Create Makeup Texture

Make sure to use an Alpha transparent texture as a custom shader. The example texture contains eye shadows, eye liners, highlight, lipstick or other coloring. When running the app, it detects a face and overlays the face material.

To create a makeup texture on your own, open the .psd file in the model folder. This model is provided by Google’s ARCore Augmented Faces Demo.
