PaintingLight is a project conducted by the Style2Paints team, aimed at finding a method to manipulate the illumination in digital paintings. The project started at about 2019 January, and the core algorithm is accepted by ACM Transitions on Graphics at 2020.
Because digital painting illumination data is not easy to obtain, this algorithm does not use deep learning. The core idea is to make use of color geometry to build up a perceptually workable relighting system. Such relighting may not be physically accurate, but are good enough for artistic use cases.
Note that the project is still in its technical researching stage. If you are a digital painting artist and you accidentally find this page, you may have to wait for our ongoing PhotoShop plug-in for practical usages.
Please refer to our project page for our TOG/SIGGRAPH paper.

The codes have been tested for python 3.6 in both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04. (If you use windows then python 3.6 is a must.)
To download codes:
git clone https://github.com/lllyasviel/PaintingLight.git
cd PaintingLight
cd code
To install some environment:
pip install opencv-python
pip install opencv-contrib-python
pip install h5py
To install some super accurate environment:
pip install tensorflow==1.4.0
pip install scipy==1.1.0
pip install trimesh==2.37.1
Then install the rtree package. The original rtree does not support windows, nevertheless here I provide a windows binary so that you can directly install it.
(linux only) sudo apt install libspatialindex-dev
(linux only) pip install rtree==0.9.3
(windows only) pip install Rtree-0.9.3-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
To install pyembree to enable GPU ray tracing:
(Optional, you can skip this step if you do not care about speed.)
You may directly play with our interactive examples!
The image noise artifacts in this webpage is caused by web GIF compression.
These artifacts do not exist when you try on your own.

Just try:
python default.py your_image.png
It is also possible to edit parameters in default.py. See codes for detals.
Note that big images may cause a out-of-memory error. See Here. Please resize your images to about 512px before processing.
Q: It is mentioned that this project does not using
deep learning, then why it is still required to install tensorflow?
A: This is because we use SRCNN, a tensorflow neural network, to
pre-process input images in order to remove JPEG artifacts. Therefore
you still need to install tensorflow with a proper version.
Q: I am trying with my own images. Can you explain
the parameters so that I can get better results?
A: Here we list all possible parameters:
image: the input image.
mask: a paired mask. you can set it to None as it is optional.
ambient_intensity: the environment ambient light intensity. 0.45 recommended.
light_intensity: the intensity of your light. 0.85 recommended.
light_source_height: the height of your light source. It is the distance
from the image to your light source. 1.0 recommended.
gamma_correction: the gamma correction parameter. It is a common parameter in
many digital cameras or smartphone cameras, and we provide
it if necessary. 1.0 recommended.
stroke_density_clipping: a scalar to clip the stroke density. Bigger number results
in sharper results. 1.2 recommended.
enabling_multiple_channel_effects: whether to generate multiple-channel lighting
effects. True recommended.
light_color_red: color of your light. 1.0 recommended.
light_color_green: color of your light. 1.0 recommended.
light_color_blue: color of your light. 1.0 recommended.
Q: I am currently trying with flat cell illustrations or line drawings, but
the results are bad. Is this method not suitable to line drawings and flat
cell illustrations?
A: This method not suitable to line drawings and flat cell illustrations. This
is because the main technique of this algorithm is called stroke density.
The algorithm fails if the input image do not contain such strokes or
similar patterns.
Q: I have tried many parameters but I am still not very satisfied.
What can I do to realize the full potential of this algorithm?
A: If you really need you may manually annotate a mask and use the masked mode.
