What is this about ?

In this article, we will explore a method for upscaling game textures using AI. This process can be partially automated, enabling batch processing of textures.

Setting up the work environment

Before proceeding, it's essential to set up the correct environment with all the necessary tools and configurations.

Note that you can adapt tools and methods based on your preferences and expertise.

Required software

Bellow are the required tools and their configuration:

Ubuntu WSL
Gimp
Paint.Net
AutoHotKey
Upscayl
RPFM or AssetEditor
Python: Any form will suffice, I personally use the Python binary built-in Ubuntu WSL

Software configuration & plugins

Gimp batch processing plugin

Later on, we will need to convert DDS textures to PNG to allow Upscayl to work its magic. Therefore, we'll utilize a custom Python-fu plugin to perform batch texture conversion instead of doing it manually.
