Create Art

HOW DOES THIS WHOLE THING WORK?
Our creator tool, Bridge, is the platform for you to create AR masterpieces. You start by uploading an image of the physical work that you want to augment. Then you start adding the layers to it. This could be videos, animations, images or 3D objects. Once you finish your creation and click save, our technology starts working its magic by processing the finished artwork. You can then scan the physical artwork with the Artivive app to see it come to life.

WHAT IS A TRIGGER IMAGE?
A trigger image is the physical artwork that our technology recognizes to activate the AR experience. Think of it like a fingerprint scan. It can be any image, such as: A photograph, t-shirt design, mural, painting, tattoo.. The possibilities are endless!

HOW HARD IS IT TO CREATE A PROJECT?
It depends on the story you want to tell. We suggest that you start with a test: upload an image and a video that you already have. You can easily use your smartphone for this test, just take a photo and record a short video to go with it. Upload the image as the trigger image along with the video layer to be revealed with the Artivive App. This won’t take more than five minutes and it will give you a better understanding of the whole process. Upon saving your project, don’t forget to have the Artivive App open and ready to scan and watch the magic happen.

WHAT IS THE 3D/PRO OPTION?
The 3D/Pro feature includes the common X and Y axes as well as the additional Z-axis for depth. With the 3D/pro editor you have more freedom and control over your project. You can add more layers, scale, move, and rotate layers to give the illusion of depth. You can add up to 3 video layers with 100MB, as well as up to 3MB of non-video layers (including 3D objects) with Pro subscription or up to 5MB of non-video layers with Pro Plus or Business subscription. The 3D/pro mode is only available for Pro, Pro Plus, and Business subscribers. You can start with a 14-day free trial! 

WHAT DOES THE 5-STAR RECOGNITION MEAN?

Bridge analyzes the image you have uploaded to find its unique pattern – like a fingerprint. The 0 – 5 star rating is to give you guidance for the best possible result in scanning the artwork with the Artivive App. *The star rating is not fault-proof. They are just an indication of the number of reconizable features that are present in the overall composition. But, if those features are symmetrical, or just circles, the tracking will be harder to work. For more information on image recognition, please refer to this page here.

CAN I ADD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO MY ARTWORK?
Yes, you can add information about your artwork on Bridge. To do so, click the “Artwork Info” button. Fill out your name, the name of your artwork, a brief description of it, and your social media handles. This information is visible to users when they scan the artwork with the Artivive App and click the three little dots on the bottom right corner of the screen.
