texturize

.. image:: docs/gravel-x4.webp

A command-line tool and Python library to automatically generate new textures similar to a source image or photograph. It's useful in the context of computer graphics if you want to make variations on a theme or expand the size of an existing texture.

This software is powered by deep learning technology — using a combination of convolution networks and example-based optimization to synthesize images. We're building texturize as the highest-quality open source library available!

3. Options & Usage

Here are the command-line options currently available, which apply to most of the
commands above::

    Options:
        SOURCE                  Path to source image to use as texture.
        -s WxH, --size=WxH      Output resolution as WIDTHxHEIGHT. [default: 640x480]

4. Installation
===============

Latest Release [recommended]
----------------------------

We suggest using `Miniconda 3.x <https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html>`__ to
manage your Python environments.  Once the ``conda`` command-line size is installed on
your machine, there are setup scripts you can download directly from the repository:

.. code-block:: bash

    # a) Use this if you have an *Nvidia GPU only*.
    curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/texturedesign/texturize/master/tasks/setup-cuda.yml -o setup.yml

    # b) Fallback if you just want to run on CPU.
    curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/texturedesign/texturize/master/tasks/setup-cpu.yml -o setup.yml

Now you can create a fresh Conda environment for texture synthesis:

.. code-block:: bash

    conda env create -n myenv -f setup.yml
    conda activate myenv

**NOTE**: Any version of CUDA is suitable to run ``texturize`` as long as PyTorch is
working.  See the official `PyTorch installation guide <https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/>`__
for alternatives ways to install the ``pytorch`` library.

Then, you can fetch the latest version of the library from the Python Package Index
(PyPI) using the following command:

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install texturize

Finally, you can check if everything worked by calling the command-line script:

.. code-block:: bash

    texturize --help

You can use ``conda env remove -n myenv`` to delete the virtual environment once you
are done.


Repository Install [developers]
-------------------------------

If you're a developer and want to install the library locally, start by cloning the
repository to your local disk:

.. code-block:: bash

    git clone https://github.com/texturedesign/texturize.git

We also recommend using `Miniconda 3.x <https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html>`__
for development.  You can set up a new virtual environment called ``myenv`` by running
the following commands, depending whether you want to run on CPU or GPU (via CUDA
