See-through: Anime Character Layer Decomposition

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

See-through is a research framework (SIGGRAPH 2026, conditionally accepted) that decomposes a single anime illustration into up to 23 fully inpainted, semantically distinct layers with inferred drawing orders — exporting a layered PSD file suitable for 2.5D animation workflows.

What It Does

Decomposes a single anime image into semantic layers (hair, face, eyes, clothing, accessories, etc.)

Inpaints occluded regions so each layer is complete

Infers pseudo-depth ordering using a fine-tuned Marigold model

Exports layered .psd files with depth maps and segmentation masks

Supports depth-based and left-right stratification for further refinement
