Generative image synthesis

The image is constructed through a computational generation process.

Visual traits

• Generative construction

Expected changes

• The image is more likely to use generative construction

Definition

Generative image synthesis is a method of making two-dimensional images with computational rules or models. Art style, subject, a particular model, and final output are specified separately.

In more detail

It uses a generative process for image production. Content, composition, color, and appearance can be adjusted separately.

Includes

• Two-dimensional production through a computational generation process

Excludes

• A particular art style or subject
• A particular product or model
• Three-dimensional form or final output

What this does not imply

• A particular art style, subject, or color
• A particular product or model
• Final output format

Variability

Content, composition, color, and appearance can be adjusted separately.

Usage

• Specify only the production method
• Specify content and art style separately

Distinguish similar expressions

• Specify a particular model separately

Typical uses

• Use a computational generation process

Possible failure modes

• The method is fixed to a particular appearance
• A particular product name is added
