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.

ITF SkinDiffDDS v1

Category: Skin
Purpose: Skin Upscaling

Adds plausible high frequency detail and removes subtle blur. This is an early unfinished attempt at a x1 Lite model designed specifically for enhancing detail on skin diffuse textures of 3d characters. Even in its current state it works quite well.

Best suited for uncompressed or cleaned textures - otherwise it may just enhance any existing compression artefacts too. The training set included faces, body parts, eyes 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 enhanced with this model. The results are subtle, so run multiple times if desired.
