Isn't "StyleGan" just some theoretical software design? i.e. there isn't any particular commercial software that has implemented it, correct?
It's a python powered ai system. There's various flavors. You can get a free copy from GitHub and modify it to your own needs. Once you have it running on your system you just drop your footage into a folder, run a command and watch the results. Hell you could even write a plugin for inclone that interfaces with it right from inside inclone since it's python based. There's lots of you tube videos that show you how to install and use them.

From everything I can find it seems to be some “A.I. image creator”
Not really sure how it can be directly implemented into the Iclone/CC4 animation rendering pipeline though except as a Post filter of an image sequence?? :crying:

Can this “Style GAN “process an entire scene (props,environments etc) in realtime? Not in realtime, but yes it can process an entire scene regardless whether its animated or liveaction.

Nice painted look :) Can this “Style GAN “process an entire scene (props,environments etc) in realtime? With the Reallusion Blender pipeline tool you just import your Characters and switch to the workbench engine and you see your styles in realtime and you are ready to render. Either painterly or toon/anime styles

Umm ..no. Poser is vestigial necroware with no way use your current Iclone/CC4 assets. better to save that $52 USD and use the free Blender pipeline tool and the toon matcap renderer in Blender for a quick and easy cartoon styles as Demonstrate in this tutorial
or if you are keen on spending money on a good looking toon style solution, buy the one from Reallusion ...or you can just run your textures through a styleGAN to get the look and feel you are looking for. For example if you want to do a style similar to Arcane. just try running your headshot through ArcaneGAN  You then take you stylized headshot and run it through headshot in CC4 and the character generated will have that skin texture on the face. ... for the rest of the body your better with a self hosted version of the GAN so you can run the other resulting textures through it so you can get them painterly.  If fact you don't even need to worry about any initial stylizing... if you can get your own GAN and customize it, you can just make your footage clean and post process the whole thing after the fact... and you have control over the look itself not just the one model... (that middle image below is the Arcane style...but I'm looking for a more painterly brighter style so I'm working with a look more similar to the one on the right. But you can train a gan to output pretty much any style you want.

VirtualMedia (7/12/2022)
Reallusion indicated in a pre-release video that a pixar quality toon shader was part of the new versions, thanks for clarifying it wasn't.
Kelleytoons, good to see you're still rendering.. you always seem to be well informed about all things Reallusion, could I ask your opinion on a post I made earlier about the best way to economically upgrade?
Pixar doesn't do 2d shaded objects. Most likely any "pixar" related stuff was referring to the more simplified 3D toon look that some of the 3rd party creators are utilizing. That cartoony stylistic look that's not photoreal but toony like a typical Pixar film. That's pretty much all in the textures.

If you seriously want real-time toon + nice line-art, that looks like the example Megaoutput shows (but better)... then Poser Pro 11 is now just $52 on Renderosity as an all-in one-time purchase. Also gives you access to a thousands of quality low-cost figures. Just saying.Umm ..no. Poser is vestigial necroware with no way use your current Iclone/CC4 assets. better to save that $52 USD and use the free Blender pipeline tool and the toon matcap renderer in Blender for a quick and easy cartoon styles as Demonstrate in this tutorial
