  • Another 720p to 4K GigaPixel AI Demo

    Just shot something quick a few hours ago. Wanted to show how awesome AI enhancement can be. On the left is the original 720p screenshot. On the right is the upscaled to 2160p (aka 4K) screenshot. Impressive as hell, innit? But pay close attention to what the AI got wrong. Notice the extra hair it generated on my palm and forehead. LOLOL. And the patches under by eyes are extremely ghoulish and exaggerated. But it was able to detect my chapped lips, so that’s incredible as hell.

    Notice how the word “Michigan” doesn’t quite look right. But this is only for a few frames, so in motion it doesn’t matter at all. You wouldn’t even catch it. But a human would be able to figure it out. Otherwise, yes, very impressive.

  • Glorious 320×240 Resolution Returns!!!

    It’s starting to resemble something more familiar, innit?

  • SDXM 3D Game Engine Progress LOL

    Getting very good performance. Confident will get 30fps when it’s ready to run. Right now it’s only chewing on “simple” graphics.

  • Doom 3 with patch 1.3.1 Windows 11 Escape From Alpha Labs

    Irritating playing on easiest mode and not having full control of the mouse trigger. It’s clear the trigger is “bricked” at times to induce fear and panic. Something to do with detecting that you’re “too good”, have too much health, too much ammo at any given time. But otherwise, the game runs perfectly on Windows 11 as long as you install the community patch version 1.3.1. I have the original Doom 3 retail CDs and it’s at version 1.0.1, so that shit just didn’t run on Windows 11 off the bat. You have to move the contents from discs 2 and 3 into the first setup folder just so the installer can find all the pak files.

    A demo comparison between original 720p video upscaled 6x using Topaz Gigapixel AI and Topaz Sharpen AI.

  • Nikon D3200 Photo Dump Sept 25 2021 Berries Flowers Cat

    Pokeberries. DANGEROUSLY TOXIC TO EAT AND TOUCH.

    Pokeberries. DANGEROUSLY TOXIC TO EAT AND TOUCH.

    UPDATE June 20, 2022 – It seems there’s some mixed messages about pokeberries, might be some kind of fearmongering. People do eat these and make pies out of them, although they say it’s not sweet at all, and that bad taste might be where the fear of death and poison comes from. So do your own research.

    Here are some random pics I took today straight out the Nikon D3200 DSLR. Them berries look too pretty. Warning though, these delicious-looking berries are actually incredibly toxic to humans and other animals like dogs and cows! Song birds can eat them though. They’re called pokeberries. So DO NOT EAT THEM! Also the sap is toxic too, so don’t let the sap touch your skin, since it can absorb in. DO NOT TOUCH IT! Should probably get rid of this thing before it gets too big. Apparently it gets more deadly as it matures. (more…)

  • 80s VHS After Effects Test

    Did you ever dream about financial freedom?

  • LED lightbulb vs incandescent lightbulb demo

    Observe! New LED tech based lightbulbs are flooding store shelves. It promises lower energy consumption, brighter output, and longer lifespan. However, I noticed a very subtle flaw. Check out what it is in the video. If you want to test LED lightbulbs yourself, share your results with me!

  • Qt 4.8.5 c++ 3D demo update!!! No OpenGL or DirectX just pure Qt

    Had to revert back to Qt 4.8.5 but it works nonetheless. The video is choppy because I’m screencapturing the video as it’s running, but on my quadcore it runs at steady 60 fps. On duo-core it runs a steady 20 to 40 fps, so it really depends on your hardware, or I just need to optimize it more. But check out pure 3D in Qt and c++, no third-party dependency on OpenGL or DirectX!

  • Nikon D3200 DSLR 60FPS movie mode test

    Using Nikon D3200 DSLR movie mode 60fps/720p. Intepreted footage at 10fps mapped to 23.97fps. Pretty much get it right in camera first, no additional interpolation like using After Effects Timewarp or Twixtor. Or get high-speed camera to begin with. (more…)
