AI Upscaler for Blender is an add-on designed to dramatically reduce render times by using the Real-ESRGAN upscaler.
Key Features:
Real-ESRGAN Upscaler: Utilizes the Real-ESRGAN upscaler to enhance low-resolution images.
Reduced Render Times: Capable of rendering 4k images in the time it would take to render HD 1080p images, and HD 1080p images in record time on low-end hardware.
CPU-Based Upscaling: No special hardware or GPU required, as upscaling is done entirely on the CPU.
Animation Support: Includes support for animation, offering faster execution and smaller download size.
Render & Upscale Option: Features a ‘Render & Upscale’ option, where Blender renders a low-resolution image and then upscales it to a higher resolution.
AI-Driven Detail Addition: Real-ESRGAN adds in detail when upscaling, achieving excellent results.
Output Path and Resolution Settings: Allows setting the output path and upscaled resolution, including scale factor.
