It's just re-scaling and palette indexing, no | different than what people toyed around with using Photoshop in | 1998. It looks nothing at all like hand-pixeled art. | Groxx wrote: | I'm kinda curious how this compares to imagemagick -> limit | the colorspace. Though getting imagemagick to produce some of | those styles of images may be difficult or impossible (like | the purple/pink pattern on the bottom left corgi). | minimaxir wrote: | Interactive demo here (which is how I became aware of the | submitted repo, although neither are created by me): | https://huggingface.co/spaces/akhaliq/Pyxelate | cupcake-unicorn wrote: | Thanks so much for this!

It always | looks more like 'deep fried' images as opposed to pixel art. | None of the samples are appealing (except for perhaps that one | with palm trees). | PostOnce wrote: | The Blade Runner one is missing the buildings, robocop has no | mouth, BJ is missing part of the right side of his head. | anfractuosity wrote: | Just started watching that talk, lots of extremely impressive | artworks, I'd never heard of the colour cycling techniques he | talks about before which are very neat. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-12-04 23:00 UTC)
