DEDXT

Removing compression artifacts from DXT1 compressed textures. This model was created to remove DXT1 compression artifacts from textures imported into the Source Engine. Compressed textures in the engine sometimes have a green-tint which this model also corrects. The data for this model contained a good mix of diffuse textures and normal maps which means this model is pretty good at removing compression from normals as well. Creating this model was a real learning experience for me and I hope someone finds a good use for it.

DXTDecompressor Source V3

This model is made for Source Engine textures. It tries to remove compression artifacts such as blockyness, discoloration, green tint. It does pretty well on a lot of things, realistic stuff as well, but it was mostly made to work on TF2 textures. It's made to keep as much detail as possible, without any unnecessary denoising/sharpening. Huge thanks to Twittman for assisting me along this journey.

1xDeJPG OmniSR model

Meant to remove jpg artifacts. First compression round on the training dataset was 40-95, second round was 80-100.

PS these are non-otf models. otf experiments have not quite done it for me (probably would need more adjusting), but they can be found in the experiments folder and their outputs in the outputs folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RRXZCRVqlqU_iaeF-RGUM9UBWtI0HseY?usp=drive_link

Removes banding, blocking, dithering, aliasing, noise and color tint on DDS Compressed Skin Diffuse Textures.

This should work extremely well on most modern DDS compression types. The training set was compressed with BC3/DXT5, BC3/DXT5 Fast, BC2/DXT3, BC2/DXT3 Fast, and a small number of JPEG compressed images to cover outliers.

This model is trained to remove the slight green color tint that DDS compression tends to add to skin textures, so the model output will not match the original color tone of the input image. This is the desired result though, as DDS compression shifts the colors to a sickly green tint and this model corrects that to more natural color tones.

The training set included faces, body parts, eyes, mouths and hair in a variety of skin types and tones so it should work well on most related diffuse textures.

However it's not just limited to skin, many other images and textures can be cleaned with this model. Designed to be used as a first step cleaning pass before applying additional models after. Check out the other ITF Models.

First ever lite BC1/DXT1 model. Probably only useful for cartoony textures like those in spongebob games or other cartoon licensed games.

Gamecube and Wii textures Dumps.

It is designed as a faster alternative to the full size model, it requires much less Vram and is significantly faster.

HDCube Compact

Category: Fabric/Cloth
Purpose: Fabric

This model set upscales fabric or cloth textures (works on cats too!). The Alt model is just an earlier iteration version. It may work better on some images.The images need to be minimally compressed or passed through a decompression model first. It works with DDS compression though.

HDCube2

Purpose: Gamecube and Wii textures.
Pretrained: 4x_HDcube2

It can be used for all image formats supported by Gamecube and Wii hardware and can remove its typical artifacts like CMPR Block Compression (DXT1 algorithm, also known as BC1), color palette errors, color reduction up to 8bit color depth and 1bit alpha depth.

A 4x upscaler for BC1-compressed normal maps with a zeroed-out B channel. The output normals will also have a constant-zero B channel. Use external software or image editing plugins to properly normalize the generated normals and generate the Z component (if necessary). E.g. chaiNNer can do this with Normalize Normal Map node. Do not rely on this network producing unit vectors. 

**Dataset transformation:** \
The LR have been compressed with various BC1 compression settings (dithering, weighting) using Texconv version 2021.11.8.1. Since the contents of the B channel influence the R and G channels during compression, the LR were given a B channel that was either the Z component of the normal, a random constant color, or a random texture (usually the G channel of the associated albedo) before compression. The LR + B channel was then compressed and the resulting BC1-compressed DDS was converted back into a PNG and had its B channel zeroed out.

Normal RG0 BC1

A 4x upscaler for BC7-compressed normal maps with a zeroed-out B channel and no alpha. The input is required to have no alpha and constant-zero blue channel. BC7-compressed images with an alpha channel should be handled by the BC1 model instead. This is because BC7 achieves very different quality for images with and without an alpha channel. The output normals will also have a constant-zero B channel. The output normals will also have a constant-zero B channel. Use external software or image editing plugins to properly normalize the generated normals and generate the Z component (if necessary). E.g. chaiNNer can do this with Normalize Normal Map node.

Normal RG0 BC7

A 4x upscaler for BC1-compressed wood textures. The model was trained on wood planks, wood stems, and a bit of tree bark. It performs reasonably well on woody textures and produces sharp outputs. However, it also tends to slightly shift the hue of the image, so results might appear slightly more red.
