Nice work Chewielewis !
I suspect that this is pretty close to the method that ZigZig is using. His look a bit better and he’s used a bit of edge fill in as well. Apologies if I stole your thunder… again.
Actually, I didn’t use this datamoshing method at all. In fact, I had never heard of it. My method is more based on modeling. Indeed, it can probably give better results than yours, but it takes a lot longer than your method because I have not managed to automate the whole process. So my method can be useful only for short scenes (like the missing ones in TPM), but I guess that your method is more “universal” since it can be used for longer scenes, even if the final result is maybe a little less good.
No secret, I’m preparing a short tutorial about mine technique too.
Anyway, thank you for your technical explanation, it’s this kind of message thanks to which I learn things, that makes me really like this forum!
Right now im working on redoing the subtitles, another pass at them might get them looking more accurate. I swear this release is comming out soon.
Good luck for your upcoming release !
And in an unrelated note, I’ve started working on a new project that may be of use for star wars restoration. Imagine, if you will, being able to create whatever version of star wars you want, all with a simple formula.
Is it something similar to this idea posted a few hours ago: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Fan-Editor-Script-File-Universal-Project-File/id/61376 ?
