Excellent, I was hoping something as accessible as this would appear to play around with this type of model! Those that dismiss this as nothing more than a few filters are missing the finer details of what it actually does. There is a lot of targeted tweaking, like removing double chins and other old age artefacts. There are small embellishments, like adding a twinkle to the eyes or lip gloss where none was present before. The direction of a gaze is fixed towards the camera. And of course, although it's more cartoon style than anime, the eyes do become bigger. The quality of your results depends on how appropriate your input is. Try something that has the potential to be Disney and you will get great results. Sure, you could (with enough practice) get similar results by manually editing a photo. But the beauty of this type of conversion is that it allows for near instant effortless experimentation and (after some other improvements) application to sequenced frames. The active model does lean towards feminizing and westernizing the subject. Mustaches are removed and an Asian subject will receive wide open blue eyes every now and then.
