Re: Neural Network Texture up-scaling
Just as a heads up, the texture up-scaling doesn't like anisotropic filtering in the mip maps, so make sure-
MipMapMode=1
and
TexFilterD3D=0
because texture filtering just ruins the inherent detail in the up-scale.
And of course, make sure the video options in the game have the texture render at maximum (and not high).
* update:
It also has a beneficial effect to hardware water that I have just noticed.

That's good to know... thanks!

I'm off overseas for a wedding for the next few weeks. Mostly done with V2, just need to merge them with their alpha layers and test them.

Re: Neural Network Texture up-scaling
Holy Crap lol, a telling more true than I would expect.
Re: Neural Network Texture up-scaling
OK V2 is almost done, it's looking a lot better than V1!
I've tried darren's advice about "TexFilterD3D=0". It looks better but leaves the ground very pixilated, I think it's worth the trade off to a have the ground blurred.

Is there a better way to display these images then what I'm doing?

Re: Neural Network Texture up-scaling
Looks good!
However, I personally dislike the palms on the upscale. At least not the greenish one (on the most right in the monorail image). It looks less transparent and more square, probably due to counting part of the opacity area as the texture itself.

Re: Neural Network Texture up-scaling
What happened to that sign at the monorail station...?

Hmm yeah I'll need to look at the alpha channel on those.tatu wrote:Looks good!

Machf - The sign was very low resolution and the text didn't upscale well. I added some texture to make it look more weathered rather then weirdly upscaled. The alternative would be to recreate it from scratch. Text had been the most problematic part of this, people know exactly what it should look like but the neural network doesn't. It can get away with a lot of leeway upscaling a wood texture, but get the text even slightly wrong and it's glaringly obvious.

Re: Neural Network Texture up-scaling
I personally think your upscaling looks amazing. I am highly impressed that this is even possible.
Re: Neural Network Texture up-scaling
Thanks Draconisaurus, I can't take any credit for the actual technology. I'm amazed it's possible as well!
V2 is up. It's 4x the original resolution so quite a large download (V1 was 2x).
I don't have any trouble loading it with my average hardware. If people want a smaller 2x version I can make one as well.

Any thoughts?
I'm particularly impressed with the truck, it was pretty low resolution to start with. There's also a screen shot of it in game a few posts above.
4x upscale no interpolation/4x neural network upscale

It looks really good! Now it is too bad we can't do anything about the terrain textures!

Let me know when it's available for download somewhere else than Mega...

I also repackaged it to a .7z file instead, reducing about 170MB

Thank you. The way Mega handles downloads by storing them in the browser's cache conflicts with my cache settings...
