| Removing compression artifacts from DXT1 compressed textures. This model was created to remove DXT1 compression artifacts from textures imported into the Source Engine. Compressed textures in the engine sometimes have a green-tint which this model also corrects. The data for this model contained a good mix of diffuse textures and normal maps which means this model is pretty good at removing compression from normals as well. Creating this model was a real learning experience for me and I hope someone finds a good use for it.

If a model has no license, that means all rights reserved. You will need a private license or explicit permission from the creator to use it commercially or with modifications. However you may use all model here on non-commercial projects, that may not in any way cost money. If you gain permission to use a model in another way including commercially, you should still credit the author and link to the original model source.
For Datasets to train your models, go here: https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Dataset_Database

ESRGAN ("old Architecture") Models

Models that use the "old" ESRGAN architecture. They can be used either with the official ESRGAN repository (old arch tag) and BasicSR (old arch or preferably victorc's traiNNer version). You can also use tools that wrap around one of them, like IEU from Honh or Cupscale by Nmkd.

Remacri Foolhardy 4x CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 General Upscaler 2021-04-09 A creation of BSRGAN with more details and less smoothing, made by interpolating IRL models such as Siax, Superscale, Superscale Artisoft, Pixel Perfect, etc. This was, things like skin and other details don't become mushy and blurry. none - interpolated
4x-UltraSharp Kim2091 4x CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 ESRGAN Universal Upscaler 2021-10-27 This is my best model yet! It generates lots and lots of detail and leaves a nice texture on images. It works on most images, whether compressed or not. It does work best on JPEG compression though, as that's mostly what it was trained on. It has the ability to restore highly compressed images as well! 4xESRGAN Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Sample 4
UniScale-Balanced/Strong (Includes Interp) Kim2091 4x CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 ESRGAN Universal Upscaler 2021-08-23 UniScale strikes a nice balance between sharpness and realism. This model can upscale almost anything well. It was originally intended to upscale game textures, but was expanded into a universal upscaler. Interp is these two models interpolated. 4xESRGAN https://slow.pics/c/i75q0yN1
UniScaleNR-Balanced/Strong Kim2091 4x CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 ESRGAN Universal Upscaler 2021-08-23 Version of UniScale trained with camera noise injection (NR = Noise Removal). This model removes noise from images while upscaling. 4xESRGAN https://slow.pics/c/UkCwdK13
UniScale_Restore Kim2091 4x CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 ESRGAN Universal Upscaler 2021-08-27 UniScale_Restore has strong compression removal that helps with restoring heavily compressed or noisy images. It is intended to compete with BSRGAN. Trained with BSRGAN_Resize and Combo_Noise in traiNNer. 4xESRGAN https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/880826637543964712/880934732748169226/unknown.png, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/880826637543964712/880932754102026290/unknown.png
UniScaleV2_Soft/Moderate/Sharp Kim2091 4x CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 ESRGAN Universal Upscaler 2021-09-06 This model set is much sharper overall than UniScale V1. These models work great on game textures when interpolated 50/50 with UniScale_Restore, and work amazingly on uncompressed images. DO NOT USE FOR COMPRESSED IMAGES, use the original UniScale for that. 4xESRGAN https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/884239326471393331/884296266857713704/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/884239326471393331/884294468709257216/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/884239326471393331/884298572894441512/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/884239326471393331/884302370136289323/unknown.png

If your image does not have any oversharpening, it won't hurt them, leaving as is. In theory, this model knows when to activate and when to skip, also can successfully remove artifacts if only some parts of the image are oversharpened, for example in image consisting of several combined images, 1 of them with sharpen noise. 1st attempt on random sharpening with the same dataset at 200000 iterations, which was trained on non-random desharp model, total ~600000 iterations on 3 models.
