Abstract
Certain embodiments involve generating an appearance guide, a segmentation guide, and a positional guide and using one or more of the guides to synthesize a stylized image or animation. For example, a system obtains data indicating a target and a style exemplar image and generates a segmentation guide for segmenting the target image and the style exemplar image and identifying a feature of the target image and a corresponding feature of the style exemplar image. The system generates a positional guide for determining positions of the target feature and style feature relative to a common grid system. The system generates an appearance guide for modifying intensity levels and contrast values in the target image based on the style exemplar image. The system uses one or more of the guides to transfer a texture of the style feature to the corresponding target feature.
