AnimeSharpV2

Ani4K is a 2x model for creating natural-looking 2K and 4K upscales of modern anime. The model places emphasis on depth of field and blur effect retention, which are extremely common in modern anime and something that many anime models struggle with. In addition, Ani4K is trained for strong detail retention, WEB/BD compression clean-up, and producing pleasing lineart.

Ani4K

2x general purpose anime upscaler, with a focus on cleaning up scuffed sources while enhancing texture detail. While the model was trained on DVDs, it still works well on modern anime. The model is trained to deal with noise, compression artifacts, blur, bleeding, haloing and scuffed line art. Apparently, it also learned to deal with some dotcrawl.

AniScale

AniScale 2 is a versatile and faithful anime model trained for use on a variety of post ~2000 sources. As the name suggests, this is the successor to the original AniScale, and a substantial upgrade in nearly every respect. Superb blur and depth of field handling, thorough WEB and DVD compression repair, and pleasing line art refinement are the hallmarks of AniScale 2. A few notes:

- While AniScale 2 is trained first and foremost as an OmniSR model, AniScale 2 is also intended to be a platform to explore multiple SISR archs. For starters, I've trained OmniSR and Compact versions, but more will come.
- AniScale 2 also comes with a "refiner" model, creatively named AniScale 2 Refiner (AS2R). AS2R is a 1x Compact model (for maximum speed) trained to supplement and increase the versatility of AniScale 2, without making the base model excessively aggressive. The Refiner is focused on providing light sharpening, fixing line art and line thinning, depending on whether you run the model before or after upscaling with AniScale 2.

AniScale-2-Compact

AniScale-2-ESRGAN

AniScale-2-ESRGAN-Lite

AniScale-2-OmniSR

Real-time 2x Real-ESRGAN Compact/UltraCompact/SuperUltraCompact models designed for upscaling 1080p anime to 4K. 

The aim of these models is to address scaling, blur, oversharpening, and compression artifacts while upscaling to deliver a result that appears as if the anime was originally mastered in 4K resolution. Can be set up to run in real-time with mpv on Windows using https://github.com/the-database/mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai

The development of the V3 models spanned over seven months, during which over 100 release candidate models were trained and meticulously refined. The V3 models introduce several improvements compared to V2, including:

More faithful appearance to original source
Improved handling of oversharpening artifacts, ringing, aliasing
Better at preserving intentional blur in scenes using depth of field
More accurate line colors, darkness, and thickness
Better preservation of soft shadow edges

Overall, the V3 models yield significantly more natural and faithful results compared to the V2 models.test

This is my first anime model in years. Hopefully you guys can find a good use-case for it. Included are 4 models:

1. RealPLKSR (Higher quality, slower)
2. MoSR (Lower quality, faster)

There are Sharp and Soft versions of both
When to use each:
- __Sharp:__ For heavily degraded sources. Sharp models have issues depth of field but are best at removing artifacts 
- __Soft:__ For cleaner sources. Soft models preserve depth of field but may not remove other artifacts as well

__Notes:__
- MoSR doesn't work in chaiNNer currently
- To use MoSR:
  1. Use the ONNX version in tools like [VideoJaNai](<https://github.com/the-database/VideoJaNai>)
  2. Update spandrel in the latest version of ComfyUI

The ONNX version may produce slightly different results than the .pth version. If you have issues, try the .pth model.

## Description:   
In short: A 2x game texture mosr upscaling model, trained on and for (but not limited to) Age of Mythology: Retold textures.

Since I have been playing Age of Mythology: Retold (casual player), I thought it would be interesting to train an single image super resolution model on (and for) game textures of AoMR, but this model should be usable for other game textures aswell.
This is a 2x model, since the biggest texture images are already 4096x4096, I thought going 4x on those would be overkill (also there are already 4x game texture upscaling models, so this model can be used for similiar cases where 4x is not needed).

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

HDCube Compact

Purpose: 2x anime upscaler which tries to preserve dof

2x anime upscaler, a non-otf version of the HFA2kCompact model which tries to preserve dof by not deblurring.

HFA2k compact multijpg

2x SRFormer_light anime upscale model that handles AVC (h264) compression since h264 crf 20-28 degradation together with bicubic, bilinear, box and lanczos downsampling has been applied on musl's HFA2k dataset with Kim's dataset destroyer for training.


If you want to run this model with chaiNNer (or another application) you need to use the onnx files with an onnx upscale node. All onnx conversions can be found in the [onnx folder on my repo](https://github.com/Phhofm/models/tree/main/2xHFA2kAVCSRFormer_light/onnx).
