Description:  
A Dysample RealPLKSR 4x upscaling model for art / painted faces.   
Based on my [ArtFaces Dataset](https://github.com/Phhofm/models/releases/tag/dataset_artfaces) which is a curated version of the [metfaces dataset](https://github.com/NVlabs/metfaces-dataset) for the purpose of training single image super resolution models.

Upscale Steve Harvey, but maybe other things, somehow??

FArtFace

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

Fine-tuned 4xFSDedither to upscale images from the game Riven, but should be better in general, particularly on ordered dithering. I adjusted the dataset to have a better variety of dithering parameters, and turned up the HFEN and pixel loss to get better details and color restoration with less noise.

Face-Ality V1 (Fatality Faces)

Face De-blur - slightly out of focus / blurred images of faces. It is aimed at faces / hair

Face Focus

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

4xFaceUpDAT

4xFaceUpSharpDAT

Upscale faces both pixelized and real

Pretrained model: 4x_Faces_N_250000.pth

Faces_04_N

Images from the Fate/Extra games. Works better on the newer ones.

Just a model I trained quickly to test traiNNer-redux and see what I could do with OTF. Works well enough

FatePlus Compact

Forest

This model is intended to mainly handle PS2 compression and a mixture of Realistic and cartoonish textures, it's not meant to be used for very low resolution textures such as item icons.

GameAI 2.0

Gamecube and Wii textures Dumps.

https://github.com/Venomalia/HDcube/tree/main/v2

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

Purpose: Chainmail game textures. Alternatively, it can be used to turn plain images into chainmail.

A highly generative model for chainmail game textures. Works fairly well on items without visible chainmail texture (ie just a grey area) or items with clear chainmail texture, less well on items with present but poorly defined chainmail texture. I'm not 100% happy with it but it is still an improvement over existing models in enough situations to be worth releasing.

Nomos8kHAT-L_otf

Purpose: Art/People

A sharp upscaler trained specifically for small sprite faces. Does not blend, so avoid using on painted/photo portraits unless you were trying to retain more of the outlines somehow.

SmolFace

SmolFace Clean

Purpose: Faces / Game Textures

character textures for star wars games, including the heroes, rebels, sith and imperial. Plus a few main aliens…Why called trixie? Because jar jars big adventure would be too long of a name… This also provides good upscale for face textures for general purpose as well as basic star wars
