Apply for Anime dataset

Thanks for your magnificent research!
And I wonder if I can get your Anime dataset since all of my dataset can not give me the reasonable result.

Thanks for your interest!

We used Danbooru dataset for the anime model. You can find:
(1) some introduction about this dataset from the gwern's blog https://www.gwern.net/Danbooru2020
(2) "user friendly" download page: https://gist.github.com/stormraiser/a8066517b0b60a50c701ee9c8f720691
(3) Note that Danbooru (origin version) is not an anime face dataset, and there is a cropped version: https://www.kaggle.com/lukexng/animefaces-512x512

Note that, in our paper, we actually used 256x256 anime data and trained on a 256x256 ffhq stylegan2 pre-trained model.

Thanks for the reply!
And you mean that we just need to fine-tune the ffhq pre_trained model with the cropped dataset. I wonder if there is any fault in my comprehension.
Again, it is nice to you to help me in a short time

Sorry for the late reply.

Well, you can say that you need to fine-tune the ffhq pre-trained model with the Danbooru dataset (make sure the image size of Danbooru you used/cropped matches that of the pre-trained model). To achieve better quality, you may need to read our paper and check other techniques like layer-swap. And there are also some hyper-param which would affect the results, detailed analysis can be found in experiment comparison and ablation study results.

Thanks for the reply, and I wonder if you have the fine-tuned anime stylegan2 pre-trained model. You know I am just a student who can not afford a high-performance GPU to train the model.😂

Looking forward to your reply!
