This is an ad for a paid & closed source application.

And it's for OS X only.

yeah, i have mixed feeling about it, sorry i posted it. But the open source projects I've been sifting through are all broken to some extent. I was hoping someone might point out a better option than this closed source :(

I'm wary that the page doesn't give any details of what kind of rendering speed you can expect or which GPUs are supported.

Be careful, it's for OSX only.

thank you, this should be written somewhere on their website :)

Are the generated animations "stable"?

I mean that in the same sense as [1].

This reminds of the 'Magic Eye' craze, while there's an impressive technical aspect, emotionally these leave me cold, in every case I preferred the raw image to the processed one.

Yup. From a technical point of view these style transferring algorithms are really cool. But from an artistic point of view they're dull. And these examples aren't anywhere near as good as those found here: https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style for example. Perhaps someone can use this technique as a starting off point for creating something of artistic value, but so far I haven't seen it.

I'm quite partial to this implementation of deep dream: https://github.com/ProGamerGov/Protobuf-Dreamer

Feel like something similar should be possible with a style transfer as well.

Product is at version 1.0 since 2 years and never received any update. I could use more options when rendering movies...
