Interesting! I tried reclassifying my test top as lipstick and still get the same artifacts, so whatever the bug is it seems to affect makeup too. I wonder if it doesn't show up because makeup tends not to have large areas of the same color. It's tempting to convert textures to LRLE with all copy and no repeats, but that would make for big texture files.

Here is what I mean.
DDS recolored

Denoised DDS recolored


@simmythesim what neural net is this? Was this run on your released Color Sliders packages already? Have you considered making an HQ version of the Color Sliders packages? I was going to run cmar's HQ Converter on your textures but discovered it doesn't support LRLE yet. So, right now people have to choose between the HQ pack or your LRLE pack.

It would be nice if your upcoming Color Sliders converter had an option for HQ compatibility, if not also AI de-artifacting and upsampling.

Was straightening up and found these sheets of hex printouts with my scribbled notes. Thought it would be amusing to show my work.
