HD sequences.wz?

Post by Ezio »

i am making HD quality from medium quality sequence and i want to use enhancing to it since it make my eye really hurts but i'm curious is there someone already try it and does it works? it would take about 3 -4 hours for me to make full HD enhanced sequences and i dont planning on wasting my time :D
thanks

Rescale won't help at all probably or are there tools which could filter video frames to make them smoother?

This was proposed occasionally, and I think someone wanted to try it. But I've never seen any results of it, so presumably it increased the size about tenfold while still looking bad.

I'm still curious about how such upscaling would look, if you want to try it, uncompressed avis from the original rpl files are at http://download.gna.org/warzone/videos/ ... xed.tar.xz.

parsing low video through filters - wount give any good results. I think low quality video is enough for wz.

I tend to agree with that. However...

I too would be curious to see.... Perhaps also run through one of the latest Fractal Filters.

I can't agree, even standard (quality difference is not so visible as difference in size suggests...) are ugly on higher resolutions (looks bad already on 1024 x 768...).
But anyway, as I've wrote in another topic, when 3.0 will be ready with new models and textures then even high definition version of current sequences won't match game...

yes there is but it wont help really much but at least it's better than not :)
I'll do my best to make it same with resolution, probably most used resolutions are 1024x768,1280x1024, 1280x800 and 1366x768

I'd go for 1024x768 and then just scale to the monitor, since Warzone already supports 320x240 not much work would be needed to support the higher size.
Bring back...ducks!
