Show HN: Bio Glyph – Turn Your Face into a One-Line Drawing
bio.bairui.devCool idea, but my image came out a bit generic, any way to make it more detailed? For inspiration, you might want to reference Brooklyn based artist Paul Richard, he does incredible single line drip work. It might help to improve your ai model. Also, do you store / keep my image? just curious. :)
Thanks, joey9prints!
Yes, it's a bit generic right now, and there's definitely room for improvement. I just checked out Paul Richard's work—it looks amazing and highly relevant.
Also, by default, I don't store either the original image or the generated result. The generated image is only saved if you explicitly click "Archive," and you can delete it whenever you'd like.
I just added tooltips on Generate and Add to Archive so it’s clear your camera image isn’t stored, and only the line drawing is saved if you choose to archive it. Thanks for the great feedback again!
I was truly impressed by this archive page. It looks like a piece of art that I could stop and contemplate for a long time.
By the way, I have another project called Name2Tree, which transforms your name into a unique, deterministic tree. It also features an archive page that you might enjoy exploring. If you're interested, check it out here:
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I was hoping the archive would feel like a collective artwork created by everyone who participated!
Hey, after I tried it, I couldn't generate my avatar and got the message 'Failed to load models: Failed to fetch'
Is it related to my network? It doesn't seem to be quite the case
Hi Tommylin, sorry to hear that. Is it working now?
No problem anymore~ Not bad! It might be because of an error I encountered during my trial on Windows this afternoon, although I don't know the cause. That evening, I even replied with my personal MacBook, and it was already fine!
Glad to hear that! Hope you enjoy it!
I just added a tiny database to the project, so generated faces can now be added to the community archive! Feel free to contribute yours!
cool and nice site, but it doesn't look like me
Very cool and love the animation, but does not seem to work well with beards :D
Thanks, Persedes! You're right, beards and hats are tricky. I haven't found a reliable way to handle them yet. If you have any ideas on how to solve this, I'd love to hear them. Contributions and PRs are always welcome: https://github.com/pearmini/bio-glyph
You should fork it into `bio-glyph-bear-enhanced`
would love to see more lines on my face
Lol, what's in your mind? sakuraiben!
