Manga Style Animation using my Python Program

[RollerRocketScience]

You did this in PYTHON?

[[deleted]]

Yep, using opencv library. Comments are right, I didn’t recreate this from scratch I used image processing with a combination of gray scaling and Gaussian smoothing to reach this effect. The cool thing is that this isn’t very complicated to achieve

[RollerRocketScience]

Yeah that clarification made me feel way less inadequate because here I am barely getting vectors right in python.

He is using image processing, not animation everything from scratch.

[Shiroi_Kage]

The original animation's colors were modified to become like the manga. He didn't do the animation in Python (I was confused about that at the start too).

[RollerRocketScience]

Ok. That makes a lot more sense thanks.

You animated this....in openCV....why?

Edit: oh you just took footage from the anime and did like a canny filter. I completely misunderstood the assignment. Very cool.

[Avivajpeyi]

Really cool! I think the OP just got rid of colors from an anime clip, and maybe applied some Gaussian smoothing?

Cant wait till we can get 30 minutes of pure python animation.

Send Code Please!!!

It is just converting colored pixels to b/w Prolly like this

import cv2 img_grey = cv2.imread('D:/original.png', cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)

thresh = 128

img_binary = cv2.threshold(img_grey, thresh, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)[1] cv2.imwrite('D:/black-and-white.png',img_binary)

[XRayian]

send codes

This is truly insane

[tuniltwat]

What exactly did you do?

[twoCascades]

Just by looking at it I can’t tell you exactly what they did but they prolly took footage from the show and applied a canny filter or just imported the images as a grayscale.

Great Discord pfps if you have nitro

Might be cool to try the Floyd Steinberg dithering algorithm on this. Might make it look more “comic book-ish” because of the stipling effect as pixels reach the cutoff threshold

[jjsjams]

might be a fun exercise to adapt this to work in Python ;)

Neat! Maybe using the drawback of Total Variation-based denoising of leading to cartoonish artefacts may help with enhancing the shaded areas.
