Hallucinet is a visual toy utilising neural nets to generate pretty pictures and animations.
Networks and inputs can be generated independently, and random configurations can be explored.
Hallucinet can produce intense, flashing visuals. Photosensitive individuals please proceed with caution!
Everyone:
- Up to date graphics drivers, please!
- GPU with at least 1GB of effective VRAM. Running with less is possible, but will severely limit the length of animations. 2GB and up is recommended.
- Performance scales directly with GPU power, so a faster/newer GPU will result in nicer images, faster.
Windows:
- Get the .zip version
- Extract somewhere
- Run the exe
- Only tested on Windows 10
Linux/MacOS/Windows LÖVE User:
- Get the .love Version
- LÖVE 11+ Locally Installed
- Run the .love file with LÖVE
There's a tutorial explaining all the available options inside the application.
Hallucinet contains a screensaver mode which runs full screen, generates a random still image every 5 minutes, and closes on any input.
To run Hallucinet in screensaver mode, pass screensaver in as a command line argument. If you're having trouble with that, please let me know.
Feedback is welcome here.
