摘要

2D卡通风格是数字角色创建中一种突出的艺术形式，尤其受到年轻观众的喜爱。虽然数字人类技术的进步推动了对逼真数字人和3D角色的广泛研究，交互式2D卡通角色却受到相对较少的关注。与需要复杂构建和资源密集渲染的3D对应物不同，Live2D作为广泛使用的2D卡通角色格式，提供了一种更高效的选择，能够以模拟3D运动的方式为2D角色添加动画，而无需构建完整的3D模型。此外，Live2D采用轻量级的HTML5（H5）渲染，提高了可访问性和效率。在这份技术报告中，我们介绍了Textoon，这是一种基于文本描述生成多样化2D卡通角色的创新方法，采用Live2D格式。Textoon利用尖端的语言和视觉模型来理解文本意图并生成2D外观，能够在一分钟内创造各种惊艳且交互式的2D角色。该项目主页为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.
