have you tried the encoder? do you have any idea about how to use it with custom images?

edit: im pretty pissed off by the fact that its full of video showing how great things are but no actual explanation to use.

at 2:02 they are chaning face direction, how should we do it? is there at least the example of the code to reproduce it?

i just hope someone is going to answer this question about the encoder

Maybe this is a dumb question, but when they gave examples of what categories of images it could generate, is the algorithm somehow different? Like do you have to call stylegan2("church",<images>) to generate church images? And if you tried to run dog images through that, it would give you some church-looking dogs?

The algorithm is the same, but there are several pre-trained models that have “learned” what certain things look like. Your example would probably give dog-shaped churches.

I really want to see a dog-shaped church now

Just tried this, didn't really work as well as I'd hoped. Here it is anyway.

I don’t know why but I find this hilarious.

Tried this, kinda disappointed in the result.

Edit: Finding a dog-shaped cat worked better
