PoseCartoonGenerator

A general-purpose pipeline for generating webcomic-style images from stick figure pose definitions.

Architecture

1. Define a minimal stick figure skeleton (graph of joints + bones)
2. Specify poses as joint angles (forward kinematics)
3. Render skeletons to conditioning images
4. Use ControlNet to generate styled comic characters from skeletons
5. Composite characters into panel layouts with text/dialogue

The core idea: separate POSE (what the character is doing) from STYLE (how it looks). Pose is a tiny parameter space (~10 angles). Style is handled by the diffusion model + LoRA fine-tune.

Requirements

pip install diffusers transformers accelerate torch torchvision
pip install pillow numpy

Usage

Render a Single Pose

python pose_detector.py render --torso 0 --l-shoulder 20 --r-shoulder -20 --out pose.png

Generate Training Data

python pose_detector.py generate-data --output-dir ./training_data --num-samples 1000

Classes
