VC:MP General / Upscalling VC Skins with Neural Network
« on: August 06, 2020, 10:59:36 pm »
Hey everyone.

Some days ago PunkNoodle came to me in EAD with the idea of using Neural Networks to increase quality and resolution of VC skins. After seeing some examples of it I decided to give it a go.

I decided to start by downloading a RAISR based NN wrote in Python (More information about RAISR here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7744595). After downloading it had to be trained (The training consists of giving the NN high resolution images for it to downscale them and figure out the best way to reupscale them), so I just gave it a bunch of 4K images and hoped for the best.

The NN seemed to be single threaded so the training took a few hours to complete. After finishing I did the first test but the result wasn't good enough, it indeed looked less pixelated but also a little blurry. Then, Punk gave me a link to this post in Doomworld: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/99021-doom-neural-upscale-2x-v-10/.

I decided to try with some of the things the guy said (except for using Nvidia NGX because I don't have an RTX GPU). Downloaded Gigapixel AI and used it to upscale the images to 1024x2048 (from 128x256) and then downscale them to 512x1024 getting rid of some AI artifacts.

This is the result:





(Also thanks to Punk for the comparisons).

Here are all the skins done till now (12):

If you want me to do another skins, just contact me via Discord and send me the files.

will you be able to play/participate on the day of the event?
For now, it's a yes. Unless some kind of unfortunate set of circunstances lead me to be unable to play.

Hey, how is your activity in VCMP aside from the VW curse? :D
I mainly play on RTV and sometimes join LW. My activity in others servers is fairly low although I join VCCNR or EAD from time to time. There were some weeks where I didn't play just because I didn't feel like doing it but still checked forums and discord daily.

Your Nick: [VU]Tobi0

Past experience: Vicewar 7 and 8 (Admin), Skywars Deathmatch (Admin), VC death server (Senior Admin), SkyNet War ParaDise (Moderator),  Skylarks Cops and Robbers (Admin), America roleplay (Moderator).

Server(s) you are currently administrating: None

Other Information(optional): For some reason, something always happens the day of the Vice War and I have already missed last 3 of them because of that (It's like a curse). Although I'm always there for translating and Beta testing, I hope I'll be able to play and help with this one.

I'm not very active myself but played some RTV rounds with you and you seemed like a nice guy. Nobody has pointed out anything negative about you so I'm going with Trainee.

It's VR, means I won't play it
Try DotA 2 8)
AoE 1,2 and 3 best, dota is for aliens only.
I still play AOE 2 online on game ranger and voobly xD

I played on voobly for a few years until I could play AoE 2 DE beta and then bought it 2 weeks ago. It adds more civs, campaings and new mechanics that makes it easier to manage (like reseeding farms without having to pre-buy them in the mill.). Also it's a lot smoother and most importantly, hasn't lost that AoE 2 feeling.

Finding VU

In 2015 I joined Skywars DM server (I played VC:MP before but can't remember anything important so I guess my story starts here), when I joined all I wanted was to drive a tank. You needed $5000 to use a tank and the server gave you $3500 after register if I remember correctly, every kill granted you $300, I just needed 5 kills without dying to drive my precious Rhino but I was too noob for that. After several attempts I just registered another account and gave myself the money just to get killed while driving the tank  ::). But leaving my story in Skywars for another post, I met some VUs there (Most of them aren't VUs anymore) Gohan, Bart, Hotdogcat, Angela, Sevrin and Freak. I was wondering what the [VU] thing in their nicks was but didn't even need to ask because someone (I don't remember who) mentioned a clan thing.

Trying to join

In january 2016 after a little research I found VU forum, the first thing I did was creating an account (I had to ask Hotdogcat about the Haxor, Noob and Charley question :P) and then I applied using Google Translator, got denied because I wasn't ready. Tried a week later and I wasn't ready yet (Saying it this way seems like something funny to me). Even when I was a noob who didn't really know people from VU apart from hotdogcat, I decided that it was the clan I wanted to join. The first thing I need to do was...

Meeting VUs

I tried to look for the server where most VUs played and found Evolution A/D. I started playing there but my english was too bad to talk with someone so I decided to play with them silently (I used to take the RC plane every round  ;D).   I met Wilson, Veteran, Jokah, Shawn and Ferrari but couldn't even talk with them. After a month, I decided to apply again (It was march). I got 2 positive votes and then Ferrari tried to meet me ingame, we tried to have a talk but I couldn't really understand what he was saying and it seems the same was happening to him. My app got denied again but I didn't feel bad because, I had made a progress.

Improving

I remember that year, my parents were trying to convince me to learn english saying it would be useful for my future. I didn't want to do it because I thought it was useless. After getting denied in VU for the third time, I understood that I needed to learn english if I wanted to be able to communicate with most of VUs. I decided to start taking lessons with a friend of mine who's studying to be an english professor (He's actually 8 years older than me). After 3 months, I decided to apply again in June, this time I got 7 trainee and 11 Deny. My app got denied again but I knew that time would be the last.

Getting accepted

After 2 months of english lessons and playing in A/D and LW, I decided to apply again. In July 27, 2016 I got accepted. I felt really happy, I could finally be part of the clan I was being loyal even before being a member. It was just the start of a story I should leave for another post. I'll just say that I learned a lot of things after joining VU.



Thanks to VU, I understood the importance of learning english (and I would like to learn other languages too). Now I get 10/10 in every exam at school, I even decided to take a Cambridge exam getting 155/170 in the PET, now I'm heading for the First Certificate. I made a lot of friends and met a lot of people. Learnt that it wasn't about age but attitude and maturity (I lied about my age when applied  :P). Learnt some things about responsibility and honesty. (I have learnt more things but I don't want to make a list about it.)

I also wanted to help the community and within the things I could do, I started translating VW information topics to spanish. I don't know why but since the day I joined VU, I feel I have completed a lot more goals I had compared to the time before it happened so I feel like it has helped me a lot.

The only thing left for him to do now is to teach us how to speak Spanish  ;D.

I haven't forgotten about this, it just got a bit too much delayed. I'm on holidays now so I'll start working on the guide again.



Proud to be VU!

I know you have spent time improving yourself to join this clan. About being younger, you have the same age that I had when got accepted and I learnt that age doesn't really matter because it's about attitude and maturity.

I always vote in every app but I don't usually say my vote in public (It may be because I'm a bit lazy to write a post  :P). But I think you deserve to know that I'm voting Trainee.
