Nvidia Canvas turns your doodles into impressive landscapes

Nvidia has just launched the public beta of Canvas, an app that turns sketches into beautiful landscapes. Using the real-time painting tool GauGAN, Canvas allows anyone with an RTX-powered system to create photo-like images out of their doodles.

Through deep learning models and AI, Nvidia Canvas can turn basic strokes into artificial photos. When using Canvas, each stroke is processed in real-time so the user can see the output of each stroke as fast as possible.

Before creating a shape or drawing a line, users must first select the real-world material they want to use. There's a huge variety of materials to choose from, including water, snow, grass, rocks, clouds, trees, and much more. Once the material is selected, the user may start to create shapes or drawn lines. Immediately after completing it, the app processes it and displays the result.

Besides allowing users to create these lifelike images, users may also turn to Canvas to apply filters, adapt an image to someone else's style. The result can then be saved as a PSD file and then imported to Adobe Photoshop for further enhancements.

If you want to try Nvidia Canvas out yourself, then you can download it  HERE.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
