Disney and the Creation of Samsung AR Emoji Studio
summary
Samsung and Disney build a production pipeline that ships Disney characters as live AR emojis using Maya and Substance Painter assets exported as FBX, textures merged for PBR/PBS, lighting via JSON, then converted to binary mash/bin and packed into an APK on the Galaxy Store. Faces use about 15,000 triangles in the head and 75 blend shapes (43 basic + 32 creative) mapped to real‑time tracking, tested on many users to tune fidelity, and supported by a bespoke AR Emoji Studio converter that controls weights, lighting and validation.
