But IвЂ™ve been waiting and watching for nearly a year, and it hasnвЂ™t gone away yet. Truth be told, IвЂ™ve hesitated to write about Upscale for The Verge, because I figured lawyers would shut it down any minute, or UpscaleвЂ™s creators would get bored and stop posting.

ExtremeTechвЂ™s Joel Hruska also has a great series about trying to remaster Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. If youвЂ™d like to see a couple examples where I tried to enhance some old content myself, click here and here, and make sure to change your YouTube quality setting. Of course, the algorithm doesnвЂ™t know that. To be clear, these are both enhanced images, but one is arguably wrong: this is an ethereal, dream-like sequence where the background is supposed to be soft and blurred, not sharp and flat. A lower quality вЂњaliased and moireвЂќ setting does a more faithful job at the expense of clarity.

TopazвЂ™s вЂњhigh qualityвЂќ setting gets rid of the intentional blur / bokeh and flattens the image. HereвЂ™s two different algorithms trying to enhance the same scene in Gundam Wing, so you can see what I mean. I found 4K videos would sometimes look better than 8K, and you really have to pick the right algorithm for the content youвЂ™re trying to upscale and compare quick previews before you commit. The important thing to know, though, is the images the computer spits out arenвЂ™t necessarily вЂњtruthвЂќ - it can invent details that arenвЂ™t there, or smudge ones that are, in the sometimes-inappropriate pursuit of clarity. I know, because I took it for a spin with a handful of anime music videos and game trailers myself, and was impressed just how easy it could be. For $299, the company will sell you an app that can spit out videos like these in a handful of hours, depending on your PCвЂ™s GPU, how long, and how high a resolution you need.

However, the artist was able to maintain the aesthetics of the original demo.These enhancements are all made possible through a piece of software called Topaz Video Enhance AI, aka Topaz Gigapixel, and weвЂ™ve written a bit about it before - itвЂ™s the same generated adversarial network technique some modders are using to upscale the graphics of playable games themselves, now applied to their cutscenes as well. Global Illumination is also better in UE5. Trueth be told, some assets look better in UE5. And to his credit, Scionti came close to the Unreal Engine 5 environment. In order to create this environment, Scionti used an NVIDIA RTX 2070 Max-Q, 32GB of RAM and an Intel i9 8core CPU. Thus, this recreation can be mostly used as a cinematic sequence. Moreover, and while the Unreal Engine 4.25 uses real-time ray tracing, the framerate was really low. Such a thing is simply impossible in Unreal Engine 4. As Scionti stated, Unreal Engine 4 cannot come close to what Unreal Engine 5 achieves.ДЇor instance, Unreal Engine 5 uses LOD 0 megascans assets with 8K textures.

Instead, the artist focused on the Temple area. As such, we wonвЂ™t be able to run this custom level on our systems and compare its performance with the one for Unreal Engine 5.ДЇurthermore, this project does not aim to recreate the entire tech demo. As the artist noted, he recreated this environment for portfolio purposes. Unfortunately, Scionti does not plan to release this map to the public.

And today, 3D Archviz Specialist, Pasquale Scionti, shared a video from the final version of this project. This вЂњremakeвЂќ attempted to recreate the Temple environment from the Unreal Engine 5 demo in Unreal Engine 4.25, with real-time ray tracing. Two days ago, we informed you about a recreation of the Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo in Unreal Engine 4.25.
