The search for a GrabCut GUI
Another big part in creating the Visually Similar artwork was the image textures themselves. The idea for the piece is that the textures would be related in some way to the 3D model. I decided from the beginning that I wanted to have some control over this and so I gathered the images through keyword searches and reverse image searches.
But then I needed to cut out certain parts of them. I wanted it to look like a rough collage, as if the images were pages in a magazine that had been ripped out, leaving behind tears and occasionally ripping through the important bits.
