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.

BSRGAN

4x photo upscaler for faces with otf jpg compression, blur and resize, trained on FFHQ dataset. This has been trained on and for faces, but i guess can also be used for other photos, might be able to retain skin detail. This is not face restoration, but simply a 4x upscaler trained on faces, therefore input images need to be of good quality if good output quality is desired.

4xFFHQDAT

Since the above 4xFFHQDAT model is not able to handle the noise present in low quality input images, i made a small variant/finetune of this, the 4xFFHQLDAT model. This model might come in handy if your input image is of bad quality/not suited for the previous model. I basically made this model in a response to an input image posted in upscaling-results channel as a request to this upscale model (since 4xFFHQDAT would not be able to handle noise), see Imgsli1 example below for result.

4xFFHQLDAT

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.

Fabric-Alt

Description: 4x photo upscaler for faces, trained on the FaceUp dataset. These models are an improvement over the previously released 4xFFHQDAT and are its successors. These models are released together with the FaceUp dataset, plus the accompanying [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBiVIzQkptI)

This model comes in 4 different versions:  
4xFaceUpDAT (for good quality input)  
4xFaceUpLDAT (for lower quality input, can additionally denoise)  
4xFaceUpSharpDAT (for good quality input, produces sharper output, trained without USM but sharpened input images, good quality input)  
4xFaceUpSharpLDAT (for lower quality input, produces sharper output, trained without USM but sharpened input images, can additionally denoise)  

I recommend trying out 4xFaceUpDAT

4xFaceUpLDAT

4xFaceUpSharpLDAT

Purpose: Gamecube and Wii textures.

Gamecube and Wii textures (mainly DXT and 8bit color compression). Is good for preserving fine details without affecting the original style too much, it is not suitable for pixel art, small icons and text under 16 pixel.

Pretrained model: 4x_NMKD Siax

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.

HDCube3

Upscale small photos with compression to 4x their size.

Trying to extend my previous model to be able to handle compression (JPG 100-30) by manually altering the training dataset, since 4xLSDIRCompact can't handle compression. Use this instead of 4xLSDIRCompact if your photo has compression (like an image from the web).

LSDIR Compact C

Upscale compressed photos to x4 their size.

Able to handle JPG compression (30-100).

LSDIR Compact C3

4xNomos2_otf_esrgan

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. Do not rely on this network producing unit vectors.

Project page: https://github.com/Kim2091/PBRify_Remix

Yet another model in the PBRify_Remix series. This is a new upscaler to replace the previous 4x-PBRify_UpscalerSIR-M_V2 model.

This model far exceeds the quality of the previous, with far more natural detail generation and better reconstruction of lines and edges.

4x-PBRify_UpscalerDAT2_V1

This is part of a larger model set, PBRify_Remix. PBRify_Remix is an easy way to upscale and generate PBR textures using existing low quality textures. The dataset consists of ethically sourced textures from websites like ambientCG and Polyhaven, which sets it apart from most other models.

It's intended for use with RTX Remix (hence the name) but it'll work for other things as well.

4x-PBRify_UpscalerSPANV4

This model was made to upscale realistic low-res textures that are compressed by either JPEG or BC1. From my testing, this works rather well on realistic GameCube textures such as the ones from Shrek Extra Large and the board textures from Mario Party 4. This model could also work on some real life images, especially the ones that are taken outdoors.

4xTextures_GTAV_rgt-s_dither

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.
