I need an AI pipeline that can generate multiple expressions for a given 2D character illustration. The expressions must maintain consistency in character features across different moods.

Expressions Needed:

• Smiling
• Laughing
• Surprised
• Sad
• Mad
• Afraid

To create an AI pipeline that generates multiple expressions for a 2D character illustration while maintaining consistency in character features, we'll need to design a system with several components. Here's a high-level overview of the pipeline:

1. Character Base Model
2. Expression Generator
3. Feature Consistency Checker
4. Rendering Engine

Let's break down each component and provide some pseudo-code for implementation:

1. Character Base Model:

This component will store the basic features of the character that should remain consistent across all expressions.

class CharacterBaseModel:
    def __init__(self):
        self.face_shape = None
        self.eye_shape = None
        self.nose_shape = None
        self.mouth_shape = None
        self.hair_style = None
        self.skin_color = None
        self.hair_color = None

    def set_base_features(self, face, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, skin_color, hair_color):
        self.face_shape = face
        self.eye_shape = eyes
        self.nose_shape = nose
        self.mouth_shape = mouth
        self.hair_style = hair
        self.skin_color = skin_color
        self.hair_color = hair_color

    def get_base_features(self):
        return {
            "face": self.face_shape,
            "eyes": self.eye_shape,
            "nose": self.nose_shape,
            "mouth": self.mouth_shape,
            "hair": self.hair_style,
            "skin_color": self.skin_color,
            "hair_color": self.hair_color
        }

2. Expression Generator:

This component will generate the different expressions based on the base model.

class ExpressionGenerator:
    def __init__(self, base_model):
        self.base_model = base_model
        self.expressions = ["smiling", "laughing", "surprised", "sad", "mad", "afraid"]

    def generate_expression(self, expression):
        if expression not in self.expressions:
            raise ValueError("Invalid expression")

        base_features = self.base_model.get_base_features()
        
        if expression == "smiling":
            return self._generate_smiling(base_features)
        elif expression == "laughing":
            return self._generate_laughing(base_features)
        elif expression == "surprised":
            return self._generate_surprised(base_features)
        elif expression == "sad":
            return self._generate_sad(base_features)
        elif expression == "mad":
            return self._generate_mad(base_features)
        elif expression == "afraid":
            return self._generate_afraid(base_features)

    def _generate_smiling(self, base_features):
        # Implement smiling expression logic
        pass

    def _generate_laughing(self, base_features):
        # Implement laughing expression logic
        pass

    def _generate_surprised(self, base_features):
        # Implement surprised expression logic
        pass

    def _generate_sad(self, base_features):
        # Implement sad expression logic
        pass

    def _generate_mad(self, base_features):
        # Implement mad expression logic
        pass

    def _generate_afraid(self, base_features):
        # Implement afraid expression logic
        pass

4. Feature Consistency Checker:

This component will ensure that the generated expressions maintain consistency in character features.

class FeatureConsistencyChecker:
    def __init__(self, base_model):
        self.base_model = base_model

    def check_consistency(self, generated_expression):
        base_features = self.base_model.get_base_features()
        inconsistencies = []

        for feature, value in base_features.items():
            if feature not in ["mouth", "eyes"]:  # These features change with expressions
                if generated_expression[feature] != value:
                    inconsistencies.append(feature)

        return inconsistencies

    def fix_inconsistencies(self, generated_expression, inconsistencies):
        base_features = self.base_model.get_base_features()
        
        for feature in inconsistencies:
            generated_expression[feature] = base_features[feature]

        return generated_expression

5. Rendering Engine:

This component will render the final 2D illustration based on the generated and consistency-checked expression.

class RenderingEngine:
    def render(self, expression_data):
        # Implement rendering logic here
        # This could involve using a graphics library to draw the character
        pass

6. Main Pipeline:

Now, let's put it all together in a main pipeline class:

class CharacterExpressionPipeline:
    def __init__(self):
        self.base_model = CharacterBaseModel()
        self.expression_generator = ExpressionGenerator(self.base_model)
        self.consistency_checker = FeatureConsistencyChecker(self.base_model)
        self.rendering_engine = RenderingEngine()

    def set_base_character(self, face, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, skin_color, hair_color):
        self.base_model.set_base_features(face, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, skin_color, hair_color)

    def generate_expression(self, expression):
        generated_expression = self.expression_generator.generate_expression(expression)
        inconsistencies = self.consistency_checker.check_consistency(generated_expression)
        
        if inconsistencies:
            generated_expression = self.consistency_checker.fix_inconsistencies(generated_expression, inconsistencies)

        return self.rendering_engine.render(generated_expression)

    def generate_all_expressions(self):
        expressions = ["smiling", "laughing", "surprised", "sad", "mad", "afraid"]
        return [self.generate_expression(expr) for expr in expressions]

To use this pipeline:

pipeline = CharacterExpressionPipeline()
pipeline.set_base_character(
    face="oval",
    eyes="round",
    nose="small",
    mouth="medium",
    hair="short",
    skin_color="#FFDBAC",
    hair_color="#8B4513"
)

# Generate a single expression
smiling_character = pipeline.generate_expression("smiling")

# Generate all expressions
all_expressions = pipeline.generate_all_expressions()

This pipeline provides a framework for generating multiple expressions for a 2D character illustration while maintaining consistency in character features. The actual implementation of the expression generation and rendering would depend on the specific graphics library and algorithms you choose to use.

To improve this system, you could:

1. Implement machine learning models for more realistic expression generation.
2. Add more detailed feature descriptions and parameters.
3. Implement a user interface for easy character customization and expression generation.
4. Add animation capabilities to smoothly transition between expressions.

Remember that this is a high-level design, and you'll need to fill in the details of each component based on your specific requirements and the graphics tools you're using.
