Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for determining a location of a selection in a space viewable in a camera view on a display of a computing device, detecting movement of the computing device, and generating a path based on the location of the selection and the movement of the computing device. The systems and methods further provide for generating a three-dimensional (3D) mesh along the path, populating the 3D mesh with selected options to generate a 3D paint object, and causing the generated 3D paint object to be displayed. The systems and methods further provide for receiving a request to send a message comprising an image or video overlaid by the 3D paint object, capturing the image or video overlaid by the displayed 3D paint object, generating the message comprising the image or video overlaid by the 3D paint object, and sending the message to another computing device.
