A little precision !

With the videos with a resolution of 320x240, I tested this script :

Spline16Resize(2560, 1920)
xBRZ(2)
GaussResize(11520, 8640, p=50)
BicubicResize(2880, 2160)
Instead of this :

Quote:

ChangeFPS(30)
Spline16Resize(1280, 960)
xBRZ(2)
GaussResize(5760, 4320, p=50)
BicubicResize(2880, 2160)
But with a resolution upsized 8 times with the Spline16Resize instead of 4 times, I found that the picture became a bit unnatural and less close to the "PC game look" that I was looking for.

So I keep always the same logic :

Quote:
- resolution 4X with Spline16Resize
- xBRZ 2X
- GaussResize a bit more than 2X, used to correct the aspect ratio sometimes, with a resolution that is a multiple of the 2160p resolution
- BicubicResize to reduce the resolution to the ouput resolution

Hello everybody

I'm not here for new scripts... OK, I lied !

I think at last I found my perfect script ! I had chance, because I almost missed it ! I was on something different (but as usual, I wasn"t completely satisfied), but I thought about something and did some researches.

I compared a video of Soul Reaver on PS1 displayed on a PVM with a capture I did from the PC version :



(video source : PS1: Soul Reaver + Sony PVM 14M4E)

We can see that the textures are smoother on the PC version than on the PS1 version and its ugly textures.

However, we have almost the same impression of quality with the PS1 version, because it's on a PVM !

So I wondered if the textures were thought to be perfectly adapted to the display on a CRT TV and if the resolution of them was different between the PS1 and PC version.

I searched, and in fact NO ! The resolution of the textures are exactly of 256x256 for the PS1 and the PC version and looks identical. Not in the game of course, but in the source.

So I conclued that the difference was because of the texture filtering, so with a bilinear or trilinear filter.

It's why I decided to use the bilinear filter

I didn't use it at the beginning of the scrit, because it's too soft, but I used it at the second position.

This time, I didn't use the Spline16 resizernat first, but the Bicubic with "b=0" and "c=0.75", because I found that the result was closer to the original in terms of relief and texture.

Here is for example the result of my last script (I called it "New century style" ) with Super Mario World, compared to the game displayed on a Sony PVM :



(video source : Super Mario World on a Sony PVM vs a standard CRT television

I think it's perfect now ! The picture is soft but clear, well-balanced I find !

I newer liked the bilinear filter, but I love it today !

I need a "2xSaI" filter

Does it exist for AviSynth ?

It's the filter I prefer for pixel art !


Thanks for your help !

Hello my friends !

I'm back !

I realized that there are lots of possibilities to upscale the image, that we can get very good results and nothing is really wrong or better.

So I decided to look for the more balanced result, not the best looking picture. I abandonned a bit my extravagant ideas and aimed a more simple logic

But before this illumination, I still did another script

I just will post it too, because maybe somebody could like it, I don't know !

And after that, I will post my very last script (maybe... you know me)!

And maybe in the next days, I will do some videos for these scripts too

OK. Let's go ! (lot of work)


Name of the scripts : Restoration style

And NOW... my last scripts !

I just want to quickly explain the logic of my scripts.

I found that I got the closest result to the original picture with the "BicubicResize(b=0, c=0.75, x, y)" filter in the higher resolutions.

I get an improvement, but I stay close to the original too

So I used it !

But after, instead of the "GaussResize" filter, to change the aspect ratio, I noticed that I got better results with the "BilinearResize" filter. In addition, it smoothes the picture too ! So it's perfect !

And at the end, I downsize the picture with a simple "BicubicResize" filter.

When I compared the picture of my upscale with the picture of "Mr. Nutz" displayed on a CRT screen, I find it's quite similar, nothing disturbing I think

(source of the video : https://youtu.be/mh3KWHrwvhE?t=1191)


https://media.joomeo.com/original/5b3a85576c4d2.png



And so here are my scripts ! For the information, I called it "Continuum style".

Hello

One last script, but this time... I think it's the very very last ! It's the last ! Because I think it's perfect !

(I called it "Evolved script". But I could have called it "The scanlines are not needed anymore, you can forget them style" too )

Screenshots and scripts !

Note : The aspect ratio is wrong with the introduction of Soul Reaver 2 on PS2 (but correct with the PC version). I had to correct it by cutting the black bars and stretch the picture vertically.

HERE are the videos for all my last scripts !

Shiny style : https://youtu.be/2bOHRR0bUaw

New century style : https://youtu.be/ewTnUUzhGOw

Restoration style : https://youtu.be/1YA7mnSglcM

Continuum style : https://youtu.be/Za-hm0Oq-Es

Evolved style : https://youtu.be/EmkP2cfXoRo

And the playlist with all the videos of my scripts : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...W3G7DVYqx9NhoT


I haven't explained yet the logic of my last script (Evolved style) !

It's simple, it's like always ! ^_^

I wanted to give to the image a modern look, so without scanlines, but which doesn't denature too much the original look and feeling.

It was like moving to this (PS1 on a Sony PVM) :



to this (screenshot of the PC version) :




Or to this to this :



Or here the PS1 version to the PC version :




But as I said before, there is no difference with the resolution of the textures between the PS1 and the PC version of Soul Reaver or Tomb Raider.

The only difference is the texture filtering.

It's why I still used the Bilinear resizer in my script. But I found that the result was better when I doubled the horizontal resolution with the Bilinear filter compared to the vertical resolution. It was more like "it's adapted to a display without scanlines" !

It was totally my goal ! I don't know if it's perfect, but I think we can better forget with the image of my last script that we should have scanlines to correctly display the sprites of the Super Nes games, like if it was thought for a modern display.

What do you think ? Yes ? No ?

And I used xBRZ too just to modernize a bit the image. So voilà !

No comment ! I did a new script !

I called it "Vivid style" !

But this time, I used the Bicubic resize to scale the videos to the good resolution and change the aspect ratio. I just want to try new things ! If you want, we can say that it's always the case !

Oh wow. I spent days playing the first blood omen!
Really revived the vampire genre for me.

I wonder how the video will turn out.

Yes, it was a very good game !

But I played it a bit late, because I began with Soul Reaver. But I really love it, proof that a good game stays a good game !

In fact, all the "Legacy of Kain" are good ! Even the unloved Blood Omen 2 is fun I find !

Can you please stop bumping your own thread every couple of days with the same old script? You have spammed the last 10 pages all by yourself the last 3 months, this forum is not your blog.
