Abstract
A non-photorealistic image rendering system and related techniques are described herein that train and implement machine learning models to reproduce digital images in accordance with various painting styles and constraints. The image rendering system can include a machine learning system that utilizes actor-critic based reinforcement learning techniques to train painting agents (e.g., models that include one or more neural networks) how to transform images into various artistic styles with minimal loss between the original images and the transformed images. The image rendering system can generate constrained painting agents, which correspond to painting agents that are further trained to reproduce images in accordance with one or more constraints. The constraints may include limitations of the color, width, size, and/or position of brushstrokes within reproduced images. These constrained painting agents may provide users with robust, flexible, and customizable non-photorealistic painting systems.
