Custom Genes Tutorial
TLDRIn this tutorial, the speaker introduces a new custom feature in ArtReader called 'genes'. Users can create their own categories by selecting reference images and utilizing tags to find specific features, such as beards. The process involves testing the gene on different faces, tweaking aspects like age and style using sliders, and fine-tuning until the desired look is achieved. The custom gene can then be exported, named, and shared within the community, allowing others to use and adapt it, showcasing the collaborative potential of the platform.

Q & A
What is the new feature being introduced in Artbreeder?
-The new feature being introduced is the custom jeans feature, which allows users to create their own categories or 'genes' using reference images.
How can users access this advanced feature in Artbreeder?
-Users can access this feature from the create page, where they can select any category and then choose 'Create Gene' under the advanced members-only section.
What is the importance of reference images in creating a gene in Artbreeder?
-Reference images are crucial as they form the basis of the gene. Users select images they like, such as faces with a beard for a 'Beard June' gene, and the system learns from these to create the new gene.
How does the gene creation process impact the original images?
-The gene creation process allows users to test the new gene on an image. It adds the selected feature (like a beard) but may also alter other aspects of the face, which can be adjusted using other tools in Artbreeder.
How can users refine the effects of a gene they've created?
-Users can subtract or add other genes to refine the effects. For example, if the gene makes a face look older than desired, they can subtract the 'age' gene to adjust this.
What is the purpose of the slider tool in gene creation?
-The slider tool allows users to control the degree to which the new gene affects the content or identity of the person versus the style. This helps in achieving a more natural or desired look.
How can users experiment with style aspects like hair color in gene creation?
-By playing with the settings and reducing the impact on the fine style, users can make adjustments such as defining hair color to achieve a more consistent look with the original image.
What happens once a gene is created and exported?
-Once a gene is created and exported, it appears in a new 'Genes' section on the user's profile page. It can then be used in various parts of Artbreeder, such as the browse or compose pages.
Can custom genes created by users be shared with others?
-Yes, custom genes can be shared. Other users can navigate to the creator's profile, add the gene to their custom genes, and then use it in their own creations.
What types of images can be used to create a gene in Artbreeder?
-Any type of image can be used to create a gene, whether abstract or personal, as long as there are enough images with the desired feature for the system to learn from.
What is the potential of the custom gene feature in Artbreeder?
-The custom gene feature has great potential for creativity and collaboration. It allows users to create unique genes and share them with the community, fostering a collaborative and crowd-sourced approach to content creation.
