The sprites in real-world carto ons are unique: artists may draw arbitrary sprite animations for expressiv eness, where the animated content is often complicated, irregular, and cha llenging; alternatively, artists may also reduce their workload by tweenin g and adjusting sprites, or even reuse static sprites, in which case the t ransformations are relatively regular and simple. Based on these observati ons, we propose a sprite decomposition framework using Pixel Multilayer Pe rceptrons (Pixel MLPs) where the estimation of each sprite is conditioned on and guided by all other sprites. In this way, once those relatively reg ular and simple sprites are resolved, the decomposition of the remaining ' 'challenging'' sprites can simplified and eased with the guidance of other sprites. We call this method ``sprite-from-sprite'' cartoon decomposition . We study ablative architectures of our framework, and the user study dem onstrates that our results are the most preferred ones in 19/20 cases.\n\n Registration Category: FULL ACCESS, EXPERIENCE PLUS ACCESS, EXPERIENCE ACC ESS, TRADE EXHIBITOR\n\nLanguage: ENGLISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_165&sess=sess15 3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
