# How to create Image-based AR campaign

Follow the below steps to build your first AR campaign within minutes. Go to the central dashboard (after you login, you land up here) and click on any of the buttons - <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">**Create AR Campaigns**</span> or <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">**Add New Campaign**</span>.

  
1\. Provide a name for your campaign. Please remember not to use any space, underscore or special character within the campaign name (Read [here](https://help.marvinxr.com/books/marvin-xr-help-manual/page/how-to-create-surface-ar-campaign#:~:text=As%20a%20security,not%20with%20HTTPS.) for associated reasons). <span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri(Body)',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #3b3838; mso-themecolor: background2; mso-themeshade: 64; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline-color: var(--color-primary); outline-width: 1px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit;">  
</span></span>

2\. Drag your traget image (.PNG format) to the dropbox and click on Start button to create the camera identifiable format (targets.mind). Based on the size and the complexity of the image, it can take from few seconds to couple of minutes to complete this step.

Click <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">**Download**</span> button to download the AI generated camera recognition trained model (**targets.mind**).<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Calibri(Body)',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; color: #3b3838; mso-themecolor: background2; mso-themeshade: 64;">  
  
</span>

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-do-not-change-the-na" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><colgroup><col style="width: 99.8765%;"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p class="callout warning">Do not change the name of the file. Keep the trained model name as **targets.mind**</p>

</td></tr></tbody></table>

3\. Now upload the following to the campaign:

- Target Image (**PNG**)
- AI trained model for camera recognition (**targets.mind**)
- 3D model (**GLB**)

If you don't have a 3D model, no worries - there's a default 3D model in the template (you can change it later anytime after the campaign creation).

Click on the <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">**Create AR Campaign**</span> button to finish the setup.
