SpriteDX - Prop Gen 2 - Grid Fitting

Grid Fitting Results

Nearest Neighbor (17pixel grid size)

NN 17px - x4

Bilinear 1/17 -x4

My trial at fitting the grid lattice. It's bad.

I thought NN and Bilinear would be a disaster but much better than other tries I had.

Let's start with the NN and try to recover Pixel art using ACM v2 model.

ACM-v2 is not good. It basically applies some level of dithering and some level of sharpening which we don't really want.

The smoother version is much better IMO (bilinear):

We do however need some way to clean up those silhouettes. That can be done easily using Magic Wand tools in Photoshop.

Perhaps we can run birefnet first on the source image then run the bilinear.

Still not exactly sure how to go about this. I will need to work with non-pixel arts and still be able to produce pixel arts and we seem to be trying to optimize on single image.

I will look into few other approaches.
