Awesome!

I thought about this in a slightly different way: D2 remastered has a great switch back feature.

You could easily train a network with tons and tons of D2 old vs. New and just use it to Auto upscale /reimagine of old D2.

Image rendering a old D2 video into 4k D2 remastered style.

I found the intro of one of the kings quest games run through SD a few days ago, but can't seem to find it now. It wasn't that impressive since I guess there wasn't much fine tuning going on, but I liked the general idea. It had a few funny hiccups, but I'd have expected much more erratic behavior, because there is no information shared between frames (I guess). But maybe this concept can be improved upon?

Going to have to be the naysayer here. First, I'll say the simple fact that Stable Diffusion produces anything coherent is incredible. I'm blown away by the tech. However, my honest opinion of the results showcased in this article is not positive. Many of the result images contain bizarre distortions or dreamlike artifacts that severely disrupt the flow of the image. Especially the first one. It's clear that there's something like a person with long hair standing in front of a peak shrouded in clouds. But it only takes one or two moments to see the flaws in the output. I wonder if hyper parameter tuning would help.

Again, I think the results are impressive in their own right. But they seem impractical on account of the flaws in the details.

Weird until I read your comment I was blown away. Then I had another proper look at the first image and in many ways I had to turn off my brains amazing ‘upscaling’ ability.

My brain had upscaled that human like blob to a woman spinning around with a sword so her hair covered her face.

Looking closely. None of that is there really, just a suggestion of it. And that is enough.

The more I learn about vision and sight the less I’m sure that we see reality.

Is there any service offering user-friendly access to open source DL models? Paid is fine.

http://beta.dreamstudio.ai is the official paid Stable Diffusion webUI.

I liked it until I noticed that it costs me $10 a day. I'm also not sure if they support img2img. I have used huggingface and then replicate for it(NSFW filter is very annoying).
