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?
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.
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.
> The animation style this does look like is that of 2006's A Scanner Darkly, or 2019's Undone. Rotoscoping is the technique. Basically, you film real life and trace over the frames by hand yielding an animated version of your irl footage.
Logically, very similar during production to how Avatar was made, but doing the rendering "by hand" (and being unable to change the camera after capture).
Pretty impressive results given the budget and time requirements.
Unless this is open source and I can run all of the code locally with no internet connection I am not doing this. Am I too paranoid?
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.
