Nothing makes us more engaged in a game than game characters. Augmented reality filters can turn a player into their favorite character who appeal to their traits. Or we may associate ourselves with characters based on their appearance. You can design high-quality Unity 3D masks with rich graphics that transfer some of the distinctive hero traits or replicate their in-game looks from head to toe. 


9. Face paint
