Finished, finally. All cutscenes upscaled with custom trained models. https://sourceforge.net/projects/wz2100-cutscene-upscale/files/sequences-ogg/ It has been a long journey, learning how to get AI to produce useful results, with such a small training set of high quality renders. I believe these cu...

PS1 videos do definitely have more detail. PC: https://i.imgur.com/76hPbor.png PS1: https://i.imgur.com/5CVe817.png For context, this is what my models produce from the PC frame: https://i.imgur.com/PCketJA.png I did upload the AVI archive to https://sourceforge.net/projects/wz2100-cutscene-upscale/...

Discovered my models cause certain colors to change. Opinions on if this is problematic? I suppose one could batch process with an ImageMagick levels command.

Decided to try organizing in SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wz2100 ... e-upscale/ . I have finished and uploaded the cam1 folder.

Completed ESRGAN model for processing the AVI versions of the cutscenes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--Xb20gilucHB5dhwdtAPHZ6EzcbfdLK/view?usp=sharing I found the AVIs from the link mentioned in https://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=5127&start=15#p118724 (had to use the interne...

Managed to find some .avi files. They appear to have similar detail level as the .rpl files, but without the irregular artifacts. Looks like it is back to training models for me... [...] Perhaps we can upload the raw(?) format somewhere to reconvert / recompress in the future. (What initial output f...

The prefilter is a model trained by me hand editing frames (takes me about 10 minutes per frame). As you can tell, it handles some, but not all of the distortions. Opinions on if this is sufficient? Should I try improving the prefilter? Alternatively, I could work from the ogg files. They do not hav...

So, I have not forgotten about this project. Training a model is easy (ish... takes 1-4 days to for the neural network to converge, depending on difficulty of what it is trying to predict). Training a good model is hard (highly sensitive to input data). Training a model to handle an unknown compress...

Intermediate data is one png per frame. Frame sizes range from around 100 KB to 1.5 MB. Size adds up quickly after a couple clips. I could pack them in a lossless VP9 (uncertain how much that will shave off the size), to support future re-encoding usage.

That image had much lower quality. I think I have repaired as much as I can on it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VtQ4eRkywr_yCQRlwpIrsVlpvEZKLt_w For individual images, I use esrgan with multiple different models (upscale model, then downsample; downsample, then upscale model; artifact removal m...

Upscaled backgrounds: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zzAK1 ... a2SySqcuZu Feel free to edit/use them as you wish.

Took a pause on trying to train a custom model. The weather is too warm for running my GPU on full for days in a row..

Been trying to train a custom model on original artwork ( try it if you want). Can give some good (in my opinion) results: SDVFInudUpQ https://youtu.be/SDVFInudUpQ QZG8xsJGPdw https://youtu.be/QZG8xsJGPdw But also likes drawing solar panels on everything... https://i.imgur.com/3xqG7Tz.png (Edit: loo...

Thanks for the feedback. I will give another pass at the intro and outro; see if I can figure out something better.

Hundreds of hours of editing and compute time, and thousands of manually edited frames. Presenting remastered HQ videos: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JLcBpU_Z4XzEsXquRB9BvuUrCBcZwHca Video frame dimensions are the same as the official HQ sequences. However, most look significantly better. I lea...

Well, good news and bad news. Good news. Campaign 1 is available in never before seen resolution: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q_LF9vVSQ-X8tm8Fm7IwWS-aZ8u0xeYe Bad news. Campaign 1 will remain unseen in this resolution. --- Starting log [E:\BasicSR\Warzone 2100 Portable-3.3.0\Warzone 2100 3.3.0...
