Collaborative Neural Rendering using Anime Character Sheets. (arXiv:2207.05378v2 [cs.CV] UPDATED)

Drawing images of characters with desired poses is an essential but laborious
task in anime production. In this paper, we present the Collaborative Neural
Rendering (CoNR) method to create new images from a few reference images with
various poses, namely Character Sheets. In general, the high diversity of body
shapes of anime characters defies the employment of universal body models for
real-world humans, like SMPL. To overcome this difficulty, CoNR uses a compact
and easy-to-obtain landmark encoding to avoid creating …
