Live 63

In today's live stream—Live 63—we covered a recap of how to vectorized sketches with machine learning (using the Virtual Sketching framework) and tested the image-rendering utilities provided by the authors.

These utilities include GIF animation-making, SVG-exporting, and raster-visualization scripts. (Kudos to Haoran Mo and his colleagues for open-sourcing such great tools.)

Here's an animation I made by vectorizing this sketch.

We also had a few off-topic conversations with live guests, including Robb Beal, Mayur Mistry, from EngineeringArchiTECHure, and Jose Luis Garcia del Castillo, from ParametricCamp.

If this is something that interests you, please let me know on Twitter or, even better, on the Discord community.

Thanks for watching.

See you next week!
