Right, so this took me a while. Finished upscaling all of the cutscene videos to see if I còuld make some improvements to the already existing upscales. It went okay-ish but I'd still like to do a second pass at most of them before actually releasing them as a mod. If anyone is interested or would like to give some feedback, I've put them all up on my google drive here. That being said it's now clear to me that even now there's only so much you can do with AI upscaling. Workflow wise what I did was: - Extracted the audio from the .bik files using the RAD tools. - Upscaled them 3 times with Topaz Video AI to 3440x1462 (to crop them down to 3440x1440 again but keep the aspect ratio): . First upscale was Proteus with all settings cranked to 100 percent to get a baseline . Second upscale was Proteus again but more moderate settings, so I could reduce some of the more wonky results from the first pass . Third upscale was a Gaia CG one to use for characters/faces. - Put it all together in After Effects and remake some things manually. Some screenshots:
