  • Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
  • My first ever experiment and playing around with upscaling old PC/Xbox/Playstation Grand Theft Auto IV screenshots using AI to make them approach the quality of Grand Theft Auto VI.
    It's a simple upload with the creativity slider set to one! Wait till the end of an animation of Kate Mcreary.
    There is still a long way to go and some really odd mistakes that I left in for entertainment value.

      It set fire to the building ha, I only now realise that it thought the red glow was fire.

      Thats the most disturbing bit 😂 I Just couldn't get it to stop mangling the poor woman.

    Lots of oddities in there. Some shots are amazing I think. 0:48 though straight up looks like a murder scene 😂

    In a few years this will be able to run in real-time.

      It's completely crazy, I've been looking at actual video upscaling today.

      Some of the Niko representations are a lot better than the others I think. Especially the last one in the tunnel.

      For some bizarre reason it can’t seem to keep letters and words the same. Or at least I couldn’t get it to 😂

    which model did you use for the upscales? Also, render times xD?

    • @TheRetroRiddler
      @TheRetroRiddler  28 днів тому

      Check out the end of the video and the animated Kate McReary tells you which I think might be the best part of the upscale! Just for ease though i used imagineArt for the stills and Hedra for Kate. Render times were so fast, like maybe 10 seconds each if that
