Another personal project I have been working on, and have decided to share with the rest of you. To get the full effect, you will need a higher-end system with a UHDTV or monitor, but will (hopefully) still play fine on mid-range systems, whatever those are.
Although it looks great for the most part, I'm not completely happy with this reworked movie, but I feel it is about as good as it is going to get without using a much better source. The series episodes look better, and will follow over the next few months. I will release everything in chronological order (as listed below).
The original DVD has an incredible amount of grain, and under that... blur. There's just no way around it to do a proper job.
I thought about redoing the special effects... but having not done any 3D work in over 12 years and Lightwave has advanced so much, I quickly decided against it.
Played on:
MPC-HC with EVR renderer and also the MadVR renderer. Both look great!
VLC 3.0 Beta - Plays and looks very nice with this version, but MPC still looks better overall.
