That said, I'm not sure that you need GPT-4 for outlining a BW image and making a path out of it; Corel Draw did that well, over 25 years ago?
So yes, another approach to what the author is doing, would be to generate font bitmaps using any of the leading image generators, and then vectorize the bitmaps. Less straightforward and precise, but probably simpler.
- simonbw 3y agoChatGPT/GPT-4 does it natively. You can say "Please generate me an SVG image of a unicorn" and it will spit out the SVG code.
- SerCe 3y agoHi, I am the author. For text-to-SVG, check out IconShop [1]. It was the paper that I tried to reproduce results from initially. In the paper, there is a comparison of their approach against using GPT-4 [2]. Using vectorisation tools like potrace, is indeed a much more popular approach, and there are quite a few papers generating fonts this way. The most recent I believe is DualVector [3]. But I tried to approach the problem from another angle.

- bambax 3y agoThank you for the follow-up! Much appreciated!
- kernelsanderz 3y agoHas the code and models been release for this? Looks like amazing work!
