title: Textoon: Generating Vivid 2D Cartoon Characters from Text Descriptions
summary: 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. The project homepage is https://human3daigc.github.io/Textoon_webpage/.
