General Introduction
Sketch-Gen is an AI-based line and sketch generation tool designed to help artists and designers quickly generate high-quality line drawings and sketches. Derived from the Paints-UNDO project, the tool utilizes advanced machine learning models that are able to extract fine lines and contours from images, greatly improving creative efficiency. Whether it is used for conceptual design, comic book creation or other areas of digital art, Sketch-Gen provides powerful support to help users easily realize their creative ideas.
Function List
- Script Generation: Extracts lines from the input image to produce a clear line drawing.
- Sketch Generation: Quickly generate sketches to help users with preliminary designs.
- image processing: Supports a variety of image processing functions, such as adjusting line thickness, contrast, and so on.
- Multi-platform support: Compatible with Windows, MacOS and Linux systems.
- efficient algorithm: Utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms to ensure generation speed and quality.
- user-friendly interface: Simple and intuitive interface, easy for users to get started quickly.

common problems
- How can I increase the speed of generation?: A graphics card with higher VRAM, such as the Nvidia 3090TI or 4090, is recommended for faster processing.
- Does it support batch processing?: Batch processing is not supported in the current version, but this feature may be added in the future.
- What if I am not satisfied with the generated results?: You can try to adjust the parameters or re-upload the image for processing.
