I haven't forgotten about this!I have gotten the MVP version of the 4k upscaler working. I've learned to never move a C# project to a different location because it took me 2 hours to get set up again. Also having to remember how to code in C#.

I still need to add:

make sure LRLEs work

load from folder option

model name option

whether you resize or not

Another little comparison to showcase the amazing AI that's in the program Topaz Video AI. I know I've made quite a few of these by now, but I still get blown away whenever I give my movie files a 4K makeover lol.

Looking for collaborators!!!

Here's a project I've been noodling on for some time now -- using ERSGANs to upscale Sims textures! I'm quite excited about the results so far. It's bittersweet to post about this though. I was hoping to collaborate with CmarNYC's on updating the HQConverter to use new techniques for upscaling. Without CmarNYC's HQ Converter, the current HQ mod would not even have been possible. Her contributions to the Sims community were so helpful and ubiquitous and she will be remembered. So right now the TS4k Upscale mod is a semi-manual process, of exporting textures using Sims 4 Studio, then upscaling those using chaiNNer, and importing those upscaled textures back into the package. So these screenshots are just a proof-of-concept. The program I'm imagining would be a blend of S4pi or S4TK, and using pytorch to upscale extracted images.

I can handle the Python portion, but I unfortunately do not know C# or JS. Admittedly I started this project last year and looked into the HQConverter source and S4pi and and then got overwhelmed. So... if anybody who is a little more savvy with C#/S4pi (or JS/S4TK) want to collaborate on creating the program together, please let me know. I would love to make this project a reality some day!

Rómeó és Júlia 4K sampler

I'm working on a 4K upscale of Rómeó és Júlia only because the AI face enhancement has better results in 4K. I think the close-ups and medium shots look amazing but wide-shots are not much better than the original scale.

Are you looking for a cute little bimbo character to throw into a video of yours? Let me introduce you to Sensuella from the Danish cartoon movie "Hugo the jungle animal 2". She doesn't have a lot of footage to work with, but she can definitely still be edited with for shorter videos or with someone stubborn enough to use her xD I recently acquired a program that can upscale movies to 4K quality and that's what I've done with her scenes from this movie, so that I someday can use her for… SOMETHING. So I'm sharing it here with you guys too! Couldn't post it on YouTube cause it kept taking it down no matter how much I messed with the video and audio to trick the system xD
