here is a Excel Spreedsheet, which you can use to download the models. The models are very big if you download them all. I only included the FP16 and FP32 versions of the models, since I don’t know the models prefix and postfix of the filename.
How this works?
Basically you can use this for version 2.30 safe now. But let’s say, there is a new version.
Open up the first spreedsheet and enter in the current version of the model. If you enter current version, it will change the download links accordingly.
You can activate and deactivate the models you want to download.
After you enter the current version number and deactivate the links models you don’t want to download, then go to the second spreadsheet. Copy all links from above to down and paste it into Jdownloader 2 Linkgrabber. Then download them.
Putting a list together is a (diligent but) routine piece of work.
I can only encourage everyone to do this!
Support for ‘old’ VEAI releases is dropping like a rock.
Case in point:
VEAI v1.9.0 ff. model DIONE-DP v2
I stumbled across this model the other day and wanted to DL all of the optimised modules using JDownloader. It turned out, that all
ddp-v2-fnet-fp16-###x###-#x-ox.tz
ddp-v2-gnet-fp16-###x###-#x-ox.tz
modules have already been deleted or taken offline!
Can’t remember, sorry. I have updated since to v2.1.1
Dione-DP was specifically designed to upscale progressive footage, if that makes sense. I have saved the basic models and the json file, though.
I think it was somewhere on this forum.
Support for last years’ releases has been dropped as well.
I can’t find any of the pre-v1.7.0 models online anymore, with but one exception
fnet_1x_n0-ov.tz
I only up-scale low resolution, low quality, compressed mp4 video and cam clips to standard HD.
My previous approach was to use neat video, save to lagarith and process with Gaia CG.
Now I only use Gaia High Quality!
Love to learn more about the models I would use from 2.6.4 going forward.
Make my own list/folder of models as backup.
There are currently 4 variants for the models for different GPU types, and the files have the following endings/extensions:
How is the HxW variant choosen for the video by VAI?
I first thought it must be the HxW of input video.
But obviously there are larger posible video input dimensions than 576x672?
Based on VEAI 2.3
Just keeping the “Gaia High Quality” and Proteus models I use would be good.
Proteus can match GHQ, after the addition of post process clarity.
GHQ is good with blocking in bright areas, Proteus the dark areas but dull finish.
Those pixel dimensions are tile sizes for AI processing, not video dimensions. A tile size is chosen by the application for efficiency and speed (depending on input and output video resolution), quality is not affected at all.
The first one is for using CPU without GPU, relatively quite slow
The second is for a Mac with GPU
The third is for Windows, using older Nvidia GPUs, usually GTX type that are not fp16 capable
The fourth is for Windows, using newer Nvidia RTX type or AMD GPUs, this is the fastest one
As I understand it:
Gaia HQ and Proteus Models for FP32 (Single precision floating point) GPU such as Intel HD Graphics 630. Not sure if the json is still needed?
Topaz Video Enhance AI wanted to download over 100GB of models.
About $200 on this connection.
I removed Topaz from Computer and wait to see full Model details with full user control to DL or not.
Unless you can download select models based on Topaz version, it is not happening.
Not that interested in Topaz.
Hi, could someone please give me a tip on how to download the models for v1.6.1? I have trouble getting it to work anymore and I think if I can manually place the models in the models folder it might work.
The model names for 1.6.1 appear to be different from the ones in this tutorial unless I misunderstand something. And in any case the GUI doesn’t say anything about their versions (like v1 etc).
I know this is an old thread. What I want to know is, once all the models are downloaded manually, via JDownloader, how to proceed to upload then or put them on the main Topaz Video enhancer main folder, I have no clue how to use JDownloader for that purpose. I use windows 10.
