This mod is not complete, but still a work in progress. Nothing has been done to the images so far, this is simply what my GAN produced for all the background images. What previously would of taken me months to complete, I could now accomplish in less than a day using the GAN I trained and basically doing it all at once.

My current GAN has only been training for about 130K iterations so far using a rather limited image store to learn from, but already the results are very promising. However it takes a long time to do that, so when I decided to try to teach a GAN to upscale an image using similar methods I used to produce the final image I was pleasantly surprised that not only was it doing it, it was doing it pretty good. I used a few of these models as a base for upscaling my own images for the backgrounds and then applied filters using GIMP and some python scripting to generate new backgrounds, which, personally I liked. While digging into this a little further I became introduced to the concept of using a neural network to generate images. The models, although still very low quality now had some rather nice high res graphics to go with them, and much of the graphics had been updated using a waifu filter.
FINAL FANTASY VIII MOD MODS
The mods that were available were nice, but everything felt like a 'patch work' of mods. I played it many years before, but only on the playstation. I was happy when I realized that they were modding it. I recently began playing the FFVIII game, which I bought on Steam a year'ish ago but still haven't played. If you're looking for a good stable background mod I would currently recommend AngelWing, I believe it is probably the best to use atm, but there's at least two or more to choose from on Qhimm or possibly somewhere else.ĪI Neural Networking is being used for a tremendous amount of tasks these days. If you feel your name should be in this list, please let me know, I hate the idea of leaving you out as well.įirst off, if you're looking to play the game, I do not currently recommend this mod, it is not ready for that. I'm sure I've left a few sources out and will try to add to them as I remember/notice them. Xinntao for his GAN project which was used to train my own model for these images. Peter Selinger for the use of Potrace which was used for masking. Omzy of course for Pupu and Tonberry as well as JeMaCheHi and mavirick for the Enhanced version of Tonberry. Fraggoso, kennybones, LeonhartGR, SaintBahamut and Yagami Light.Įveryone mentioned so far, I met and received help from in one way or another on the Qhimm forums web site. Special thanks also goes out to a few people who helped encourage me either with ideas or discussion on the Qhimm forums as well: Special thanks go to FatedCourage for providing me with Save Files so that I could explore the game and view the new screens. Special thanks go to satsuki especially for helping me with creating better masks than the originals.
