    Stencil Creator

    You can generate a multi-layer stencil, a cut-out template that can be used to paint with color onto a surface, from an uploaded image (JPG/PNG, under 2MB). The stencil acts as a binary mask that decides if the color reaches the surface or not.

    What is Stencil Creator?

    This website can support you to generate a connected, optimal, and physically stable multi-layer stencil from your input image.

    A stencil is a thin sheet of material, such as paper, plastic, or metal, with certain patterns cut from it. Applying a pigment through the cut-out holes produces a design on an underlying surface. Using multiple overlapping stencil layers, artists can create intricate, yet reproducible imagery on a variety of surfaces.

    Traditionally, artists have to design not only the final appearance, but also each individual stencil layer. A stencil layer needs to be connected, geometrically simple, and physically stable. Taking all these constraints into account during the design process is difficult and unintuitive even for skilled artists.

    For a given user design, our algorithm automatically generates a set of stencil layers satisfying all required properties. The task is formulated as a constrained energy optimization problem and solved efficiently. Experiments, including a user study, are carried out to examine the complete algorithm as well as each individual step.

    It's super simple and has one function, creating layered colors which combine to form a rudimentary version of an uploaded image.
