EasyMocap VS Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan

EasyMocap (Generate Motion Capture Data from Video) https://github.com/zju3dv/EasyMocap -------Text 2 Video--------

It might be fun to work on an open source game if I could find one and try something new, or if I were really confident in my abilities perhaps I would try something like the following repo that I forked for this blog post as per the instructions: https://github.com/sfrunza13/EasyMocap (this is the fork) https://github.com/zju3dv/EasyMocap (this is the original URL)

machine learning has advanced to the point that you can extract 3d pose info from a video. There are a handful of startups that have popped up recently that convert user-uploaded videos to animations. But you can get free stuff on github: https://github.com/zju3dv/EasyMocap

Don't even need topaz, there's plenty of free upscale models check the openmodeldb, and you have reve which is based on Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan.

Real-ESRGAN/GFPGAN https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN (Real-ESRAN - Upscale images, facial restoration with GFPGAN setting) https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN (GFPGAN - Facial restoration and Upscale) -------MATTE AND COMPOSITE--------

If you mean by free software, sure there are options. But you'll spend a lot of time to do that. You can try https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN or similar tools

I’m actually on a Mac using the ncnn Vulkan binaries for Real ESRGAN. It’s not all that flexible but it’s pretty quick. There are other options but I have not looked into it.

I personally use real esrgan and I think it's great. it requires manual work tho but it's easy once you do it a few times

REAL-ESRGAN was used for upscaling (using waifu2x-extension GUI) and can be found here.
