# AIDrawing: Real-time Human-AI Collaborative Drawing

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ed93dd39-090d-40dc-983b-70442a77dad1

An interactive C++ drawing application that combines AI-powered visual completion through real-time canvas interpretation and image generation.  
Built with the Cinder framework, this application allows users to draw naturally without entering prompts — an AI model analyzes the artwork in real time and collaborates with an image diffusion pipeline (**StreamDiffusion**) to *augment and auto-complete* the drawing.

## Features

- **Interactive Vector Drawing**: Cursor-based drawing  
- **AI Canvas Analysis**: Real-time interpretation of drawings using Ollama vision models  
- **AI Image Generation**: Real-time augmentation of drawings through diffusion models  
- **Real-time Communication**:  
  - Spout integration for texture sharing between applications  
  - OSC messaging for communication with TouchDesigner and other tools  
- **Advanced Drawing System**:  
  - Undo/redo via command pattern  
  - Stroke smoothing and dynamic width  
  - Customizable colors and brushes

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

1. **Visual Studio 2022 or newer** with C++ support
2. **Cinder Framework** — Download from [libcinder.org](https://libcinder.org/) and include the Spout block
3. **Ollama** — Install from [ollama.com](https://ollama.com/)
4. **LLaVA model** — Run `ollama pull llava:7b` to download vision model
5. [**StreamDiffusionSpoutService**](https://github.com/olwal/streamdiffusion-spout-service) — Real-time image generation server (separate application, clone and run separately)
6. [**Spout**](https://spout.zeal.co/) — GPU texture sharing (included via Cinder Spout block)

**Note:** [OllamaClientCinder](https://github.com/olwal/ollama-client) is included automatically as a git submodule.

### Building

1. **Clone this repository with submodules:**
   ```bash
   git clone --recursive https://github.com/olwal/ai-drawing.git
   ```

*If you already cloned without `--recursive`, initialize submodules:*
   ```bash
   git submodule update --init --recursive
   ```

2. Open `vc2022/AIDrawing.sln` in Visual Studio
3. Configure Cinder paths in project settings if needed
4. Build and run (F5)

### Setup AI Models

```bash
# Install Ollama
# Download from https://ollama.com/

# Pull vision model
ollama pull llava:7b

# Verify installation
ollama list
```

### Running the AI Services

Before launching **AIDrawing**, make sure both AI backends are running:

1. **Start Ollama** — This runs automatically after installation.
   - Handles vision analysis of your drawing.
   - Provides semantic descriptions that guide the diffusion model.

2. **Run StreamDiffusionSpoutService** — Must be active for image generation.
   - Receives both the user’s drawing (as an image) and the AI-generated description (as a text prompt).
   - Performs real-time **image-to-image diffusion** to enhance and complete your artwork.
   - Sends the generated result back to **AIDrawing** via **Spout** (GPU texture sharing).

When both services are active, **AIDrawing** forms a real-time creative loop:

User draws → AIDrawing captures strokes → OllamaClientCinder analyzes drawing
  → StreamDiffusionSpoutService generates enhanced imagery → Spout sends result
  → AIDrawing composites drawing + AI output in real time

## Usage

### Controls
- **Mouse**: Draw on canvas
- **T**: Toggle text overlay
- **Escape**: Exit application

## AI Models

The application supports any Ollama vision model, for example:
- **llava:7b** (default) - Good balance of speed and quality
- **llava:13b** - Higher quality, slower inference  
- **granite3.2-vision** - Alternative vision model

Change models by modifying the `model` variable in `AIDrawingApp::setup()`.

### Performance Notes

- **Closed-Loop AI Augmentation**  
  AIDrawing forms a continuous feedback cycle where each user stroke is interpreted by the vision model and enhanced by diffusion — no text prompting required.

- **Real-Time Vision Analysis**  
  **OllamaClientCinder** communicates with **Ollama** for multimodal inference, asynchronously generating semantic descriptions of the drawing.

- **AI Image Generation**  
  **StreamDiffusionSpoutService** takes the current drawing and its interpreted prompt to perform real-time **image-to-image diffusion**, producing AI-augmented content streamed back via **Spout**.

- **Concurrent Pipeline**  
  Drawing, inference, and generation operate in separate threads, coordinated by a **ThreadSafeList** for synchronized data sharing.

- **GPU Optimization**  
  Spout enables zero-copy GPU texture sharing for seamless real-time compositing between the Cinder app and the diffusion server.

- **Recommended Hardware**  
  - GPU: ≥ 8 GB VRAM (for stable diffusion models)  
  - CPU: ≥ 6 cores for smooth concurrency and real-time updates

## Contributing

The codebase follows standard C++ practices with:
- Command pattern for undo/redo
- Namespace organization (`vdraw`)
- Clear separation of concerns between drawing, AI, and communication
