Congrats!

Yeah, that combination of filters looks indefinably better. I could probably define it, were I an artist. ;)
Previous experience tells me it's very easy to misunderstand the tone, intent, or meaning of what I've posted. If you have questions, ask.

Cool, thanks for the test! I'm glad that the softening logic worked for these networks just as well as it does for waifu2x.

Thanks for all the congrats and warm wishes!

@MrFlibble
So when you "soften" the image using xBR, are you using xBRZ Scaler Testing Tool with the Scaler = "3" (xBR), and Scaling Factor = 1 ?

@All
Slightly unrelated question: Does anyone know a way to export all the textures from Daggerfall Imaging 2 into one folder with the proper naming convention of archive_record-frame.png ? I'm only able to get it to export into individual folders named as the archive, with each folder containing images with the record-frame.png format which isn't very convenient for batching.

Got a few test MOB animations upscaled. They all worked well using Mr. Flibble's xBR softening pre-upscaling technique in tandem with SFTGAN (for the Orc and Gargoyle) and ESRGAN (for the Vampire).

Borders are still a bit jagged in a few places, but the textures themselves are really nice :)

Perfect results on the mobs!! Please do all :)
The problem with export not naming the files corectly with full name is painful. I had to rename all the 8000 files...
I had a script tool by lacus tho!!!
It works like this:

you create a folder named after the archive, so if your exported archive is for example 001 you create a folder named 001 and you copy all the 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 etc files there

and than you execute the python script

EDIT: IM not sure how I used it on the mobs tho :/ It would be best to PM Interkarma and ask him to add the full naming to the imaging2
