摘要

2D卡通風格是數字角色創作中一種突出的藝術形式，特別受到年輕觀眾的喜愛。儘管數字人類技術的進步推動了對逼真數字人類和3D角色的廣泛研究，互動式2D卡通角色卻受到相對較少的關注。與需要複雜構建和資源密集渲染的3D對應物不同，Live2D是一種廣泛使用的2D卡通角色格式，提供了一種更有效的選擇，可以模擬3D運動的方式來為2D角色添加動畫，而無需構建完整的3D模型。此外，Live2D採用輕量級的HTML5（H5）渲染，提高了可訪問性和效率。在這份技術報告中，我們介紹了Textoon，一種基於文本描述生成多樣化2D卡通角色的創新方法，採用Live2D格式。Textoon利用尖端語言和視覺模型來理解文本意圖並生成2D外觀，能夠在一分鐘內創建各種令人驚嘆和互動式的2D角色。該項目的主頁是https://human3daigc.github.io/Textoon_webpage/。

The 2D cartoon style is a prominent art form in digital character creation, particularly popular among younger audiences. While advancements in digital human technology have spurred extensive research into photorealistic digital humans and 3D characters, interactive 2D cartoon characters have received comparatively less attention. Unlike 3D counterparts, which require sophisticated construction and resource-intensive rendering, Live2D, a widely-used format for 2D cartoon characters, offers a more efficient alternative, which allows to animate 2D characters in a manner that simulates 3D movement without the necessity of building a complete 3D model. Furthermore, Live2D employs lightweight HTML5 (H5) rendering, improving both accessibility and efficiency. In this technical report, we introduce Textoon, an innovative method for generating diverse 2D cartoon characters in the Live2D format based on text descriptions. The Textoon leverages cutting-edge language and vision models to comprehend textual intentions and generate 2D appearance, capable of creating a wide variety of stunning and interactive 2D characters within one minute.
