HQ AI-Enhanced card pictures for Forge
Posted: 30 May 2022, 17:58
It took a long time to get there (month of work for first release, nearing two months now) but HQ AI-Enhanced card pictures for Forge are here for everyone to enjoy.
What did I do exactly? I remastered Scryfall (XLHQ) scans for use in Forge, using Neural Networks, Python scripts and a huge chunk of my GPU lifespan. Result is a gorgeous package of smooth, sharp, video-game-quality images that are pleasure to look at and play with.
[IMPORTANT UPDATE - READ CAREFULLY] All of Archenemy, Arsenal, Box, Commander, Core & Expansion Draft Innovation, Duel Deck, From the Vault, Funny, Masterpiece, Masters, Memorabilia, Planechase, Premium Deck, Spellbook, Starter, Vanguard sets are now done. There are also numerous fixes to previously released sets (details and information on which sets to redownload is in post from 22 Jun 2022, 01:37 below). There is also a new primary download link for all the sets (at the bottom of this post).
[UPDATE 2022-06-27] A whopping 223 sets worth of promo sets has been added. For ease of use I created two new directories with sets from this update alone: Sets in Forge - Added 2022-06-27/ and Sets NOT YET in Forge - Added 2022-06-27/. You should also download set Q06 from Sets in Forge, it was placed in wrong directory before. Card examples can be found in post from 27 Jun 2022, 18:59 on page 3 of this topic.
[UPDATE 2022-07-02] Just 9 sets this time, but a lot of "firsts" there. All new sets (Innistrad Double Feature, Streets of New Capenna + Commander, Commander Legends Battle for Baldurs Gate, Double Masters) upscaled to gorgeous level, ugly MTGO sets that aren't going any better than that and first MTGA set. Everything is under download link (bottom of this post) inside Sets in Forge - Added 2022-07-02 directory. Card examples can be found in post from 02 Jul 2022, 01:04 on page 3 of this topic.
[UPDATE 2022-07-07] Big update once again, one focused on MTGA-exclusive cards. It contains all of the rebalanced cards, all Alchemy Sets, All Historic Anthologies Sets and Jumpstart Historic Horizons. Card examples can be found in post from 08 Jul 2022, 01:37 on page 3 of this topic. IMPORTANT: read instructions in the mentioned post!!!
[UPDATE 2022-07-23] First part of the tokens update, consisting of 826 tokens, updated AFR & NEO sets and SLX set are now added. Card examples can be found in post from 23 Jul 2022, 02:57 on page 4 of this topic.

As of 22/06/2022 all types of sets, except for Cube, Promo, Tokens and Treasure Chest are done!
