Crash Twinsanity All Cutscenes in Full HD 60fps (AI Upscaled) Zekion 2024-05-23 | Download lossless upscale files + source fmvs:- drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XY8aMs8minM-B-aJh5MITT7nIzGQIjbf?usp=drive_linkOld upscales for comparison:- youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjO7ZBMz8c_PSESGMo2UKA0rnO2u4-poccheckout the in-game upscaled textures: youtube.com/watch?v=gkZ_sCpsQ4AIt's been close to 5 years since I last upscaled them. AI upscaling tech has progressed significantly since then. This time the files I uploaded on Google Drive are totally lossless, encoded on a very slow preset through Handbrake on x265 10 bit 60fps with 20CRF. Took me hours upon hours but it was worth it, small file size, easy web viewing, and perfect optimization.Workflow: -I used PAL FMVs and NTSC Audio, combined them to get the highest quality output. PSS Demux for audio extraction, ffmpeg to extract all frames then processed through gigapixel first (Video AI was terrible at upscaling in comparison) the only downside of using gigapixel was temporal inconsistency which you can probably notice but the detail retrieval capabilities were far superior to that of Video AI. So it was worth the compromise in my opinion. After upscaling the frames, I fed them into Video AI for interpolation using the Apollo model, disabled dupe frame checking and interpolated 2x and had it export to 16 bit pngs instead of to a video, again, trying to keep it as high quality and lossless as possible. Then I used ffmpeg to create a ffv1 video out of the frames and then fed the pcm.wav file to create the almost final output. I then fed that into Handbrake with the very slow preset and all that as I described above to a small but perfect output which are then uploaded to the GDrive. The YouTube video you see here is just a scaled and stretched all around with a lower bitrate with Davinci Resolve and shitty YouTube compression further ruining the quality. It's a showcase type thingy for quick viewing imo. Still decent, but not as good as the OG GDrive files. E.g in the NTSC Complete vid I kept the aspect ratio and black bars, unlike here in the YT upload where I removed those and stretched it in place. If you're still reading, I love you. Feel free to do whatever with the files as you please, but do tag me in whatever project you use it for, not because I want or need credit, but because I wanna see what the community does with it. Enjoy, hope my 80 hour long effort was worth it. To an outsider or an uninformed person all this may seem as easy as putting in a file and getting a perfect output out, but it's genuinely a lot more complex than that and there's still a great deal of thought and care that goes into this stuff.Obligatory swearing so YT doesn't disable comments: -Fuck shit piss cunt dickbutt.I had to remove or merge chapters that were less than 10 seconds because YT doesn't like small chapters for whatever reason.Chapters:0:00 Vivendi and Traveller's Tales0:19 Cutscene 10:56 Cutscene 22:01 Cutscene 32:41 Cutscene 43:23 Cutscene 54:12 Cutscene 64:29 Cutscene 74:56 Cutscene 8 and 96:20 Cutscene 107:32 Cutscene 118:19 Cutscene 129:29 NTSC Complete10:44 PAL Complete11:06 Bonus videos
Crash Twinsanity upscaled textures for PCSX2 Zekion 2023-02-25 | EDIT: Someone has out-done me! Go check it out:gbatemp.net/threads/crash-twinsanity-slus-20909-ntsc-u-hd-texture-pack.642278EDIT 2: Seems they took it down...I unfortunately don't have a backup, however here's the next best thing: github.com/CRASHARKI/ctwin-tp~~~Original description~~~The video turned out awfully compressed for some reason, don't know why, might have to check recording settings but oh well.It's a minor "upgrade" (aside from crash's textures being messed up). I've included the dump folder as well if you need original textures for use (such as using your own ESRGAN model for upscaling) The textures I included were upscaled using Topaz Gigapixel AI v6.3.3, I tried using ESRGAN but it was a headache getting it run (pytorch and pip issues), and then it messed up the alpha channel and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Anyhow, I've also upscaled the cutscenes on my channel, so feel free to check that out too.Upscaled cutscenes:- youtube.com/watch?v=3IknSOMu9PI&list=PLjO7ZBMz8c_PSESGMo2UKA0rnO2u4-poc&index=1Download dumps and replacement for PCSX2:- drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gmfvHQtRqnNYexlLy4tMeulsWkfqs7LU?usp=sharingP.S These are for PAL, if you want to use these with the NTSC version, just change the folder name from "SLES-52568" to "SLUS-20909". I believe both versions have the same texture IDs.I converted the upscaled .png files to .dds files for a good performance boost in-game. I don't exactly recall why it boosts performance but I'm too burnt out to explain or look on my own. I hope you find this useful, as I had to 100% the game again just so I could "collect" all textures, since PCSX2 doesn't directly extract from the game disc but rather during emulation.
The Loneliest Robot in Great Britain HD 1080p60 Upscale Zekion 2020-10-12 | Used DAIN-APP 0.41 to interpolate to 60fps, used waifu2x (scale x3, denoise x3, CUnet model) to upscale.Compare with the original: youtube.com/watch?v=C7wy2shkt2EDownload source (mov_lrigb.bik) & interpolated version (no upscale) here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/11jDec0ShIeUwK_5-1nkCFSGMSSipSrj8
Tom & Jerry made 60fps using AI Zekion 2020-09-29 | EDIT: YouTube automatically set it for kids and disabled the comment section, I have sent an appeal.EDIT 2: YouTube rejected my appeal and have still decided to keep it as set for kids... RIP comment sectionInterpolated to 60fps using DAIN-APP v0.41 using mode 3 and manually removed every single duplicate frame. The video might be out of sync at times because I'm a very bad video editor.
