Pet
The Pet Template lets you create Lenses that add content to Cat or Dog faces. The template allows you to attach images or animations to a Pet’s Left Eye, Right Eye, Nose and Center of the head.

Template Walkthrough
Switch Preview Video
When working with the Pet Template, you'll want to switch the preview video to one with a cat or dog. In the Preview panel, press the Image / Video Mode button. Then, in the drop down at the top of the Preview panel, select the Cat and Dog, Cat, or Dog preview video. You should now see the template working with content applied to the Cat or Dog’s face.
Add Resource
For the Pet template, we should first import a 2D texture or animation into the Resources panel. To do this, drag and drop a PNG, JPG or GIF into the Resources panel from your computer.
Configure Pet Tracking Controller
With the PetTrackingController [EDIT_ME] object selected in the Objects panel, we'll configure its settings in the Inspector panel. First, let's select the Tracking Type we'd like to use from the Tracking Type drop down. The Cat tracking type will only apply to cats. The Dog tracking type will only apply to dogs. The Cat or Dog tracking type will apply to either a Cat or a Dog found in the camera.
If you're not creating an experience that ONLY works on Cats or ONLY works on Dogs, we recommend using the Cat or Dog tracking type
The Pet template allows you to configure the image attached to the Right Eye, Left Eye, Nose or Center of the head. All are tuned in the same way. When tuning Right Eye for example, I can enable or disable the feature with the Right Eye Tracking checkbox. When enabled, I can assign my custom texture that I imported into my Resources panel to the Right Eye field. Finally, I can adjust the Size, Offset, Rotation and Alpha of the feature with the corresponding sliders.
Adding Pet Tracking Outside of Template
While the Pet template gives you a simple way to add 2D images and animation to the tracked points, you can also always add Cat and Dog tracking outside of the template. To do this, select + -> Object Tracking -> Cats and Dogs Tracking from the Objects panel. You can then edit the position, scale and rotation of the added element in the 2D scene.
Object Tracking and 3D Objects
It is possible to attach 3D Objects to Object Tracking by adding a helper script. Please refer to the Object Tracking & 3D Objects section of the Object Tracking guide for more information.
