Please don’t show this to the Walt Disney Company lest they get any ideas.
Nathan Shipley, a technical director from San Francisco with experience in vfx and motion graphics, has taken to Twitter to post “realified” versions of characters from famous animated films. He’s applied the technique to protagonists from Pixar’s Up, Coco, The Incredibles 2, and Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, as well as virtual being Lil Miquela and paintings like the “Mona Lisa.”
Today's reverse toonification experiments with art from @Pixar for Incredibles 2, Up, & Coco.
This framework from @EladRichardson and @yuvalalaluf quickly finds a "real" human face in the #StyleGAN FFHQ latent space. Adding some style randomness too.
