Is there a reason it doesn't generate images as pretty as the samples on the news page? (http://make.girls.moe/news-img/samples.jpg)

By the way, the Getchu and illustration2vec links on the news page are broken.

Edit: This part from the Tips page might be why it initially didn't generate great images:

The input of the model consists of two parts, the random noise part and the condition part. If you generate a good image, you could try to fix the noise part and use random conditions to get more good images. We have observed that a good random noise is important for the better generation.

Edit 2: Actually, no. According to the news page, if the noise is fixed, the generated pictures would be all similar.

Create anime girls . Doesn't anime have boys?

Well, "make.girls.moe" is the URL and name of the tool.

According to the technical report [1], they used character portraits from Getchu [2] for training data. A cursory glance shows that the overwhelming majority of the characters are female. As a result, the characters the tool generates are likely to appear female to our eyes.

After the code is open sourced, perhaps someone should try to create make.boys.moe using character portraits from otome games [3].

Yeah but 95% of HN are white heterosexual males so there you go

The remaining 10% are non-white but still heterosexual males.

Shouldn't it generate different avatars everytime? I get the same picture when I generate a new one with same non-random params.

Maybe some of the girl programmers that Google hasn't hired should make a site that generates sexy anime boys?

Yeah, came to ask--so the GAN model is loaded into the Javascript engine and run locally? I thought DNN models are fucking huge?

It gave me a warning to connect to WiFi and not load the site over a mobile data connection. So yes.

Oh, I didnt get that, would have been nice.
