About this mod
WIP 4k texture pack which adheres strictly to the original color palette and style/pattern. The upscaling artefacts are removed with Stable Diffusion and further guided into the actual material the texture is supposed to be.

protoFaithful 4k/16x(+) texture pack
-- this is very much WIP and a hobby project, so no concrete timeline or anything, this is mostly a placeholder and in case someone wants to try it out --
Why am I doing this?
I spend a lot of time with upscaled images and have come to recognize the typical appearance of images made with current GAN based upscalers. I also like hires textures and cant quite get over how mushy the originals appear in game, but I also dont like the currently available texture packs. So im making my own, and while im still using GAN based upscalers as a starting point out of necessity, I then use a second pass of img2img to guide the upscaled texture. With this sd kind of redraws the textures in the style of the material I input, but only with very slight variations. This preserves the original pattern but erases almost any upscaling artefact and gives each texture their unique look, not the samey upscaled look.
[340 textures repaired total]
Im using OpenMW without any mod managers and as such wont offer any support/info/guide for these things. (writing a path into the openmw.cfg doesnt need a guide)
b1 contains:
(only original game textures)
all 512px textures to 4096 and repaired with sd
all other textures scaled 16x with SwinIR
b2 contains:
adjustments
most dirt/stone/grass textures repaired with sd
b3 will contain:
most wood textures repaired
My hardware consists of a Ryzen 3700X, RX 6800XT and 32GB Ram. If it runs on my machine im happy, currently consumes about 8-9GB VRAM with my settings. (25 Cells viewing distance)
Ive currently just brute force upscaled most textures with the large SwinIR model (003_realSR_BSRGAN_DFOWMFC_s64w8_SwinIR-L_x4_GAN) by 16x.
This is ok/good for stone or wood, because its a great general purpose upscaler, but it cant/doesnt really recognize fabric in such low resolutions and as such cant really invent the correct material.
For the 512px fabric wallcarpets/banners I used a specialized fabric upscaler model, which improved the results by quite a bit when combined with sd.

Im currently sorting all the textures by material (eg, wood, stone, dirt, parchment, etc.) so I can then batch upscale them with SDUpscale.
Each texture takes 5mins though and with seamless textures it takes 10-15min each.
