### _AI Media Enhancement Suite_ [![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/badge/build-Stable_Release-blue?style=for-the-badge)](https://github.com/Ivan-Ayub97/Warlock-Studio/releases) [![Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/Version-4.1--08.01-darkred?style=for-the-badge)](https://github.com/Ivan-Ayub97/Warlock-Studio/releases/tag/4.1) [![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-purple?style=for-the-badge)](LICENSE) [![Downloads](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/Ivan-Ayub97/Warlock-Studio/total?style=for-the-badge&color=gold)](https://github.com/Ivan-Ayub97/Warlock-Studio/releases) _Transform your media with cutting-edge AI technology_ --- **Warlock-Studio** is an open-source desktop application for **Windows** that integrates state-of-the-art AI models for video and image enhancement. Inspired by [Djdefrag](https://github.com/Djdefrag) tools like **QualityScaler** and **FluidFrames**, this suite offers a unified, high-performance interface for **upscaling, restoration, and frame interpolation**. Version **4.1** introduces improved GPU utilization, compatibility fixes, and optimized model loading for a faster, more stable experience. --- ## πŸ“₯ Download Installer (v4.1) Get the latest stable release:

--- ## ✨ Key Features - **AI Upscaling & Restoration** – Real-ESRGAN, BSRGAN, IRCNN for denoising, upscaling, and detail recovery. - **Face Restoration (GFPGAN)** – Revive blurry or low-quality portraits in photos and videos. - **Frame Interpolation (RIFE)** – Generate **2Γ—, 4Γ—, 8Γ—** smoother motion or slow-motion. - **Modern UI** – Redesigned in v4.0 for an intuitive, streamlined experience. - **Batch Processing** – Handle multiple media files simultaneously. - **Custom Workflows** – Full control over models, resolution, output format, and quality. - **Open-Source & Extensible** – Licensed under MIT, with a modular architecture for contributors. --- ## πŸ†• What’s New in v4.1 - πŸ”§ Removed outdated SuperResolution-10 model. - βœ… Robust ONNX loading & GPU acceleration. - βœ… Fixed import errors & improved type annotations. - βœ… Enhanced error handling with graceful fallbacks. - 🟒 Better GPU utilization & resource management. - πŸš€ Compatibility fixes for NumPy & OpenCV. - πŸ“¦ Stability improvements & refined memory usage. - βœ… Improved startup reliability & user notifications. --- ## 🌐 Smart Model Distribution System (v4.0+) ### 🎯 Lightweight Installation - Installer reduced from **1.4GB β†’ 450MB** (–68%). - Models (~400MB) download automatically on first launch. - Bandwidth-friendly setup. ### πŸ›‘οΈ Reliability - **Integrity checks** on downloaded models. - **Graceful degradation** if models are missing. - **Offline support** for manual model placement. --- ## πŸ–ΌοΈ Interface Previews **Main Window** ![Main interface](rsc/Capture.png) **RIFE Options** ![RIFE Options](rsc/CaptureRIFE.png) --- ## πŸš€ How to Use 1. Run as **Administrator** (recommended). 2. **Load Media**: Import images or videos. 3. **Configure Settings**: - Choose AI model (Real-ESRGAN, GFPGAN, etc.) - Set resolution, format, interpolation, etc. 4. **Start Processing** with **"Make Magic"**. 5. Retrieve results from the output folder. --- ## πŸ–ΌοΈ Quality Comparison Enhanced image using **BSRGANx2** ![Comparison](rsc/image_comparison.png) --- ## πŸ“Š Model Comparison | Model File | Use Case | Speed | Quality | Notes | |--------------------------|------------------------------------------|---------|---------|-------| | **GFPGANv1.4** | Face restoration | High | High | Great for blurry faces | | **BSRGANx2** | 2Γ— upscale + denoising | Medium | Very High | For lightly degraded images | | **BSRGANx4** | 4Γ— upscale + denoising | Low | Very High | For heavily degraded media | | **RIFE** | Smooth frame interpolation | High | High | Best quality for motion | | **RIFE-Lite** | Faster interpolation | Very High | Medium | Lightweight alternative | | **RealESRGANx4** | General 4Γ— upscale | Medium | High | Great all-rounder | | **RealESRNetx4** | Subtle restoration without oversharpen | Medium | High | Preserves natural look | | **RealSRx4_Anime** | Anime / line-art upscale | Medium | High | Clean edges for 2D art | | **IRCNN_L** | Light denoising | High | Medium | Mild artifact removal | | **IRCNN_M** | Medium denoising | High | Medium | Stronger artifact cleanup | --- ## βš™οΈ Installation 1. **Download installer** (links above). 2. **Run setup** and follow steps. 3. Launch from Start Menu / Desktop shortcut. Warlock-Studio is packaged with **PyInstaller** + **Inno Setup**. ### Installer Previews ![Installer 1](rsc/Installation_window.png) ![Installer 2](rsc/Installation_window2.png) ![Installer 3](rsc/Installation_window3.png) --- ## πŸ–₯️ System Requirements - **OS:** Windows 10+ (64-bit) - **RAM:** 8GB+ recommended - **GPU:** NVIDIA or DirectML-compatible GPU recommended - **Storage:** Enough for input + processed media --- ## πŸ“Œ Development Status (v4.1-08.01) | Component | Status | Notes | |-----------------------------|------------|-------| | Upscaling Models | 🟒 Stable | VRAM recovery integrated | | Optimized Model Suite | 🟒 Enhanced | Streamlined & reliable | | Face Restoration (GFPGAN) | 🟒 Stable | High-quality face fix | | Frame Interpolation (RIFE) | 🟒 Stable | Smooth motion, slow-mo | | Batch Processing | 🟒 Stable | Improved error handling | | User Interface (UI/UX) | 🟒 Refined | Clean, integrated models | | GPU Management | 🟒 Enhanced | Robust ONNX + fallbacks | | Code Quality | 🟒 Improved | Refactored & type-safe | | Installer & Packaging | 🟒 Stable | Seamless setup | --- ## πŸ“‚ Project Structure
