Thanks mate, Im quite happy with the results, its fascinating what you can recover from the 5KB image
There was some color noise on the closeups I just got rid off with my setup of denoising. I do the final round on the closeups atm, there was some work needed for those 2 frame animations to look good. I think I will finish in 1 hour.
Thanks for the offer of help, I very appreciate it! I think I will pack it up and send it your way. But no rush, work on you own pace. This might be a good distraction from all those heads, its something a bit different. You dont need to go into a big detail, otherwise the closeup images will be too different from the low detail ones which are used at distance. Just make em look more humanoid Some have messed up facial features a bit, some look ok as they are. You will see and judge by yourself.
EDIT: here it is https://mega.nz/#!r3ZjhYQY!Vk_Wy4yDEqAY ... qSNV61eNoo
Its 48 files. Each set has two frames ending with _5-0 and _5-1
I guess you need to do just one frame and I can copy the new face to the other frame, it appears they are always the same. That would be "just" 24 faces to do.
