**Warlock-Studio** is a unified, high-performance platform for **upscaling, restoration, denoising, and frame interpolation**.
|
||
<br>
|
||
Inspired by [Djdefrag](https://github.com/Djdefrag) tools such as **QualityScaler** and **FluidFrames**.

## ✨ What is New in v5.0
|
||
|
||
The **v5.0** release represents a foundational transformation of the application:
|
||
|
||
* **🧩 Modular Architecture:** The core has been re-engineered into specialized components (`core`, `preferences`, `console`, `drag_drop`) for superior stability and fault isolation.
|
||
* **🧠 NEO Engine:** A new diagnostic subsystem that scans CPU topology, RAM, and GPU VRAM to automatically recommend optimal tiling and thread settings.
|
||
* **🖥️ Integrated Debug Console:** A real-time GUI terminal that intercepts `stdout` and `stderr` with syntax highlighting, allowing users to diagnose FFmpeg or ONNX issues instantly.
|
||
* **⚡ Native CUDA & Failover:** The backend now strictly prioritizes **CUDA** (NVIDIA Optimized) > **DirectML** > **CPU**, with corrected integer typing for device IDs.
|
||
* **💎 Lossless Pipeline:** Deprecated `.jpg` usage in favor of `.png` for intermediate frames to prevent compression artifacts (blurriness).

## ✨ Key Features
|
||
|
||
* **AI Upscaling & Restoration** – Utilize **Real-ESRGAN, BSRGAN, RealESRNet, RealESR_Animex4, and IRCNN** models for denoising, super-resolution, and detail recovery.
|
||
* **Face Restoration (GFPGAN)** – Recover facial details from low-resolution or blurry images and video frames.
|
||
* **Frame Interpolation (RIFE)** – Smooth motion or generate slow-motion content with **2×, 4×, or 8× interpolation**.
|
||
* **Advanced Hardware Acceleration** – Intelligent provider selection prioritizes **CUDA**, falls back to **DirectML**, and finally **CPU** for maximum compatibility.
|
||
* **Batch Processing** – Process multiple media files simultaneously, saving time and effort.
|
||
* **Custom Workflows** – Fine-grained control over models, resolution, output formats, and quality parameters.
|
||
* **Open-Source & Extensible** – Fully MIT licensed, for contributors and developers.

## 🚀 What's Next?
|
||
|
||
We are working on a **fundamental transformation** of how users create, manage, and execute pipelines within **Warlock-Studio**. The next major update introduces the **Visual Nodes** system, a powerful tool that will drastically improve the user experience and the complexity of the projects you can handle.
|
||
|
||
### 🖼️ New Module: `WSNodes` (Visual Node Editor)
|
||
|
||
The **`WSNodes`** module is an advanced visual node editor, built on **PyQt5**, that will allow users to:
|
||
|
||
* **Design Pipelines Intuitively:** Instead of directly editing JSON files, you will be able to drag, connect, and configure modules as if you were drawing a flowchart.
|
||
* **Simplified Visual Complexity:** Build complex, multi-step, and branching workflows in a clear and visual manner.
|
||
* **Reusability and Modularity:** Each node will encapsulate a specific function, allowing for easy reuse and simpler code maintenance.
|
||
* **Compilation and Execution:** Once designed, the editor will automatically compile the visual diagram into the internal pipeline format that **Warlock-Studio** already uses for execution.
|
||
|
||
**This represents a significant leap in Warlock-Studio's usability and capability, moving it towards a more flexible and visually powerful project development environment.**
