VectorPainter: Advanced Stylized Vector Graphics Synthesis Using Stroke-Style Priors

This repository contains our official implementation of the ICME 2025 paper: "VectorPainter: Advanced Stylized Vector Graphics Synthesis Using Stroke-Style Priors." VectorPainter synthesizes text-guided vector graphics by imitating strokes.

🔥 Latest Update

• 2025.03: 🔥 We released the code for VectorPainter.
• 2025.03: 🎉 VectorPainter accepted by ICME 2025. 🎉

📌 Installation Guide

🛠️ Step 1: Set Up the Environment

To quickly get started with VectorPainter, follow the steps below.
These instructions will help you run quick inference locally.

Run the following command in the top-level directory:

chmod +x install.sh
bash install.sh

🛠️ Step 2: Download Pretrained Stable Diffusion Model

VectorPainter requires a pretrained Stable Diffusion (SD) model.

🔄 Auto-Download (Recommended)

Set model_download=True in /conf/config.yaml before running VectorPainter. Alternatively, append model_download=True to the execution script.

🎨 Quickstart

Style: Starry Night by van Gogh

• sydney opera house

python vectorpainter.py x=stroke "prompt='A photo of Sydney opera house'" style="./assets/starry.jpg" canvas_w=1024 canvas_h=1024 result_path='./workspace/starry/sydney_opera_house'

• mountain and cloud

python vectorpainter.py x=stroke "prompt='A mountain, with clouds in the sky'" style="./assets/starry.jpg" canvas_w=1024 canvas_h=1024 result_path='./workspace/starry/mountain'

Style: Pink Cloud (Le nuage rose by Paul Signac)

• Sakura tree

python vectorpainter.py x=stroke "prompt='sakura tree.'" style="./assets/starry.jpg" x.num_paths=20000 canvas_w=1024 canvas_h=1024 result_path='./workspace/pink_cloud/sakura'
