FAQ about ToonCarfter

  • What is ToonCrafter?

    ToonCrafter AI is a generative cartoon interpolation tool that leverages pre-trained image-to-video diffusion priors to interpolate two cartoon images. It is designed for applications such as cartoon sketch interpolation and reference-based sketch colorization.

  • Who developed ToonCrafter?

    ToonCrafter AI was developed by Jinbo Xing, Hanyuan Liu, Menghan Xia, Yong Zhang, Xintao Wang, Ying Shan, and Tien-Tsin Wong from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, and Tencent AI Lab.

  • What are the main applications of ToonCrafter?

    The main applications of ToonCrafter include cartoon sketch interpolation, reference-based sketch colorization (single-image and dual-image reference), and sparse sketch-guided generation.

  • What are the limitations of ToonCrafter?

    ToonCrafter AI may not correctly and semantically understand image contents, leading to issues such as incorrect motion generation when objects appear or disappear in the frame. It is an open-source research tool and not a commercial product, so it may not meet all user expectations.

  • How can I set up ToonCrafter?
