Upscaling Methods Showdown

Testing out some different Upscaling methods, in this test I upscaled some 720p footage to 1080p. This is a cropped in close up of the test results.

A custom Nuke TVI method is by far the best but I will say the Red Giant Plug-in Instant 4k did pretty good and got 2nd best. After Effects, built-in Detail-Preserving Upscale was mediocre and finally just a Nuke Reformat node which provided the baseline generic upscale.

The results speak for themselves, Nuke TVI methods are on another level but for Non-Nuke users, the Instant 4k plug-in works surprisingly well. Recommend one of the two above options if your up-scaling CG renders.

Starting Patreon and Youtube Channels

Hey guys! So its been a long what feels like ages since I updated my Squarespace. I figured I would start updating it and update my Squarespace blog more often. I have been busy lately with my Youtube channel and Patreon page which cover tutorial material specifically for Redshift and environment work. I look forward to posting new interesting content here in the future.

Itransporte magazine painting

Just got a copy of a European engineering bi-annual magazine called intrasporte that used one of my paintings. Its for an article on cities of the future. 

Bifrost testing

Got to testing Bifrost for Maya. It was fast and easy to use. It took about 15 seconds to setup a basic emitor and collider. This has so much potential for growth in the future.
