dygen

Post processing tool.

Pre-requisite

You will need following Python libraries installed:

PIL and tqdm These commands should help:

pip install 
pip install Pillow

Use

Run

python dygen.py

and you'll get images in the /out folder.

The script currently turns this image:

into this:

How to do this with your own images:

1. Place an image in a ref folder. Make sure it's a .png!

2. Open dygen.py and change init_file = "ref", where ref is the name of your file without extension. I.e. if your file is named artwork.png, change the line to init_file = "artwork"

3. Run the script with python dygen.py

4. You'll get three new files in /out folder named

• artwork.blobs.v1.png - raw color blobs
• artwork.painted.v1.png - finished painting
• artwork.sharpened.v1.png - a sharper looking version of the painting

How to be more creative.

Open dygen.py and start messing up with parameters. They're at the top of the file and I tried to document them as much as possible. Play with different numbers, like cluster and color_count and see what you get.

Advanced

The fun start when you start using your own stencil masks. In /tex folder I placed two files that are currently used in the painting process, if you edit those, you'll get a much different look. Think of them as brushes. Worse comes to worse - hit me up on Twitter @dymokomi
