I'd be curious to see how well / stable this behaves under animation.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You're right, see 100s of examples posted by users here: https://twitter.com/ak92501/status/1457033482115420160/retwe...

Those definitely don't look like the anime I watch

Yes, Anime has many different kinds of aesthetics but not what this generates. Perhaps it should be renamed PaintingGAN or CartoonGAN?

Like many other comments, I don't see much resemblance to anime styles, but dismissing the results as a Photoshop filter is nuts.

The animation style this does look like is that of 2006's A Scanner Darkly, or 2019's Undone.

May be those examples should have instant results? I guess most people are just clicking them to see what it looks likes instead of waiting 100s.

Most of them look like photoshop filter as per other comments, but IU and Billie Eilish definitely looks good.

A gallery of examples would be nice. Else, it's too much effort. People are gonna just close the browser tab, like I did.

Waisted resources by not providing pre rendered versions of the 7 examples. I had to wait 3 minutes to render one.

Rotoscoping is the technique. Basically, you film real life and trace over the frames by hand yielding an animated version of your irl footage.

That's really good. I could see this being a popular filter.

Tried a headshot of myself framed like the example pictures and all I got was something that looked like it was bombed by effects out of Paint.NET. Definitely looked nothing like an anime character.
