Modding newbie interested in creating a HD texture pack - MegaCatYu - 01-27-2022
I've recently taken an interest in modding, and there's this VN called Another Code R which I want to create a texture pack for.
I know how to dump and replace textures, but I have a few questions.
What would be the best way to replace a font? I'm mainly worried about keeping consistent letter spacing.
Is there an ESGRAN model that's particularly for upscaling watercolor-esque textures? The game's art style heavily relies on these, so I want to preserve the effect as best as possible when upscaling.

As an AI network I can recommend ESRGAN Pytorch,
with other Ai I always have problems with the alpa channel.
for repeating textures, the seamless mode is very handy.
Model differ very much, just try some out,

Here you will find suitable upscaling models.

To add onto what Venomalia said, if you are on windows and wish to leverage AI, I recommend Cupscale.

Thank you Venomalia and iwubcode, I will look at Cupscale and the upscaling models you sent.
