(Pocket-lint) – For the past few years, people have tended to turn their selfies into Disney or Pixar-style cartoon characters.
It all started last summer, when Snapchat posted a lens that TikTok users adopted and started using to “Disney-ify” their pets and tagged their posts with the hashtag #disneydog. Snapchat then released more cartoon lenses. Additionally, there is another player in this space – Voila AI Artist – who is currently going viral on Facebook and Instagram. You can read more about Voila in our separate guide. But if you want to know more about Snapchat cartoon lenses, look no further.
What are Snapchat’s animated lenses?
Three cartoon lenses are getting all the attention on Snapchat. The first is called Cartoon Face and launched in August 2020. It was followed by Cartoon, a more advanced lens that transforms your entire face into a Disney-style character. The third lens, Cartoon 3D Style, was released in June 2021 (just when Voila AI Artist exploded in popularity). It has more of a Pixar-like cartoon look and lets you switch between what appear to be two genders – one with bulging ears.
Remember, Voila uses AI to turn the selfies you take in the moment (or upload) into a Pixar-like cartoon. However, it only renders still images. Snapchat works in real time on video, allowing you to create clips of yourself as a moving cartoon that you can then share with your friends on the app or download to your device to post elsewhere.
Remark : Snapchat lenses are different from Snapchat filters. Snapchat lenses, specifically face lenses, use augmented reality to transform you and your friends into something new, like puppies, babies, or in this case, cartoons. Snapchat filters, on the other hand, are design overlays that you add on your snaps. On other platforms, like Instagram, lens-like experiences are usually referred to as filters. On TikTok, on the other hand, they are called effects. It’s confusing, isn’t it?
