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.

FSDedither Riven

Purpose: Anime PSP games, Fate Extra

This model was trained as a favor to Demon and the Fate Extra community. It leaves a nice grain on the images and upscales lines and details accurately without looking odd. This model works on most anime-style PSP games. Enjoy! It works best on content with dithering and quantization. NOTICE: I have included both NCNN and ONNX models to make upscaling easier if you rely on either of these. For NCNN, there's two versions. One is FP16 and the other is FP32. FP16 works best on RTX GPUs. Choose FP32 if in doubt about compatibility, or if FP16 doesn't work for you. To use ONNX, download chaiNNer and upscale through there with the ONNX nodes.

FatePlus-lite

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

Category: Alphas
Purpose: Alpha (4 channel)

FireAlpha

Description: 4x realistic upscaler that may also work for general purpose usage. It was trained with OTF random degradation with a very low to very high range of degradations, including blur, noise, and compression. Trained with the same Frankendata dataset that I used for the pretrain model.

Frankendata_FullDegradation_SRFormer

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 1.0

GameAI 2.0

Category: Foliage/Ground
Purpose: Upscales ground textures

Ground

Gamecube and Wii textures Dumps.

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

Remove noise, grain, box blur, lens blur and gaussian blur and increase overall image quality.

LADDIER1

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.

Purpose: Clean Real-World Images

Upscaling of realistic images/photos with noise and compression artifacts

NMKD Superscale

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.

Normal RG0 BC7

i made this model to upscale old anime and denoise.

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 my [PBRify_Remix](<https://github.com/Kim2091/PBRify_Remix>) project. This is a much more capable model based on SwinIR Medium, which should strike a balance between capacity for learning + inference speed. It appears to have done so :)

### Replaced by 4x-PBRify_UpscalerDAT2_V1

4x-PBRify_UpscalerSIR-M_V2

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

UniScale_Restore has strong compression removal that helps with restoring heavily compressed or noisy images. It is intended to compete with BSRGAN. Trained with BSRGAN_Resize and Combo_Noise in traiNNer.

UniScale Restore

Version of UniScale trained with camera noise injection (NR = Noise Removal). This model removes noise from images while upscaling.

UniScaleNR Balanced

UniScaleNR Strong

Purpose: Game textures/Art

This model upscales artwork for the game Volfoss (2001). The model peaked in quality very quickly. The NR model removes most noise, but has the downside of removing transparent portions. Use the main model in most cases.

VolArt

VolArtNR

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.
