Snap updates Body Generator with higher quality textures and image generations. See criteria for identity, consistency, and consent.
Direct answer
The official Lens Studio 5.18 changelog reports an update to the Body Generator with higher quality textures and better image-based generations. Gain can accelerate AR avatars and proofs of concept, but it does not eliminate assessment of similarity, body diversity, artifacts, image ownership, and consent. In business use, the generated asset must have a registered origin, visual review, authorization for use and alternatives when the representation is not adequate.
Quality reduces rework, not revision
Better textures speed up prototyping, but hands, face, silhouette, and materials still need in-motion inspection.
Input image requires usage right
Consent, retention and purpose must be clear, especially to employees, customers or recognizable people.
Representation must be tested
Skin tones, body types, clothing and accessories need diverse sampling to reveal systematic flaws.
Generated asset enters the pipeline
Name, version, origin, license, optimization and approval must accompany the avatar until publication.
