Cutting Render Times in Half with AI Up-Scaling | Nuke 

0:24 Homie that dangling hard drive is gonna be in my nightmares

This is AWESOME! I swear I need to learn nuke. Can't wait for more tutorials!

Those are pretty good results :D Can't wait for it to get better at particle stuff since it seems like it struggled the most with confetti in the examples you showed at the end

no hate, but this is probably the reason I will never use nuke or maya or houdini. I started using blender because everytime I watched someone doing a cool thing in blender, they showed the steps, the version, etc. "you go to the modifier tab and apply this modifier" or "use this shortcut". I started in after effects with andrew kramer saying everytime "layer, precompose". And everytime I see a video with one of these "professional" softwares, the person skips every step possible. I don't know what is the equivalent of "starting a new project and deleting the default cube" in nuke, and I'll probably never know. but I still tried, couldn't make it to do anything. it's using more than 24gb of vram and literally nothing is happening. I know it's not a tutorial, but how many videos you've seen of someone saying "hey, did you know blender could do this? go to this website, and download blender....". maybe this is the reason you "don't see anyone else talk about it"

have you used topaz video ai? I wonder how it compares to nuke's upscaler. Nuke's seems to be less drastic from what I'm seeing

From IG!

Does this work for all the other passes?

Bro what is your budget for this software???

so you render at 80% and the reformat up and.... render again? hows that saving any time? oh and pro-tip from the industry; you want to sandwich any transformation with a lin2log-log2lin colorspace transform (if its log material originally even better) or if in ACES I think it was acescc/cg, try it out and compare, depending on the quality and the source material (exr lineal, log, or a MOV in REC709) it can make all the difference... besides the fact that thats the actual technical correct way of doing it; because when you reformat with anything but cubic you are introducing neg pixels (clearly seen in this video on the car lines) or just straight artifacts, also will make any nan or neg values pop like crazy.
