Nvidias GauGAN, lets you create landscapes and more with the help of segmentation maps. Those segmentation maps have particular color associated with a material. For example the color #936e28 will let you draw Roads.
You can also upload segmentation maps as a PNG directly into the tool. These swatches you find here can be installed into Photoshop, to help you create segmentation maps directly from Photoshop. Even though not tested, they should also work fine in GIMP.
- Simply download the file here with git or by clicking on Code → Download ZIP
- Open Photoshop → click on Window → Swatches
- Right-click somewhere in your swatches and choose Import Swatches…
- Locate the downloaded .aco file → click open
- (Optional) Click on the burger icon in your swatches window and choose Small List or Large List, to always see the names of the swatches.
- Create a segmentation map as you like. Format should be square. I'm using 1080x1080
- Export as .png
- Open GauGAN
- If the window is not fully visible, zoom out
- Check the box with terms and conditions
- Click Browse… at Upload Segmentation Map
- Click the arrow to the right to see the result
In the folder Mystery you can find around 150 additional brushes, those where used in previous versions of GauGAN, but they also seem to work even though they are not part of the UI. They include the following categories:
- Animal
- Building
- Food
- Furniture
- Ground
- Houseware
- Material
- Plant
- Sport
- Street
- Textile
- Vehicle
I used the color overview, provided by the GauGAN plugin for GIMP.
If you find any additional colors, feel free to open a pull request, an issue or dm me on Twitter.
This is just a fun and experimental tool, that should help Creatives work with GauGAN. I'm in no way connected to Nvidia and for the use of GauGAN the Nvidia terms and conditions apply.
