No it won't, the details are absurd if you take some time to look closer. It requires a lot of time to polish AI result by hand, which is destroys the whole idea.
Games with high detail at the scale of CNC look absolutely awful and you cannot distinguish easily between different units because all that extra detail gets blurred together and looks trash from far away. Low detail = high detail, The red guard, rangers and rebels weapons are all only a few pixels across yet completely distinguishable from each other , It's what makes low detail games like this work so well, less polygons too which helps performance massively Not putting domi's work down at all, these all look amazing
Nothing like a fine blend of "extremely cursed" and "damn impressive" But considering the quality of original icons, I can forgive the AI for some cursed ones.
Nah, any good marksmen knows it's important to move your eye. Either blinking one side or both. He is probably just watching something else. As long as your head doesn't move, you are still zeroed in.
The only ones that looks really off to me are the A-10 and MOAB. The A-10 surprises me a bit because there are so many great photos of that aircraft already on the internet.
Dominator you surprised me again...been watching you for years now trough many different accounts. 1st was the cmmenting than the better video formats, than came the cinematics and compilations and now this...absolutely amazing. I really hope that in the future this game can gain more popularity or that another gem like this gets released or just an updated version with few tweaks. Crazy amount of dedication. GG
Hey Domi, i am a Airforce Engineer working with chinook helicopter. i would like to point out some inaccuracy with the engine placement generate by the AI shown @ 02:34. the engine should be closer to the AFT Pylon. the AI place the engine on the holder for Flare / Chaff
Daha küçük bir çocuk iken şu bulanık fotoğrafların hayalini kurduğum birimlerin resimleri, şimdi gerçek birer sanat eseri! Yapay zeka teknolojisi gerçekten de verimli bir nimet... Emeği geçen herkese teşekkür ederim.
Dominator please continue this project we want all units / buildings being upscaling, you don't need to care about loser who talk about " oH mY gOD tHis is AI making mistakes " like come on now, you can't tell me this isn't 1:1 from the game, i'm impressive!
wow Domi its really very good bro. normally these ai upscales are not similar with main assets. ai adds many unoriginal things. but yours are so loyal to main images. and details are exceptional. your efforts with photoshop also important about it. gj!
True that. A10 was a hard one to do. In the end you run it off 100 times and have to pick the best one out of the bunch. Not always perfect. Could probably be fixed by a photoshop professional but sadly that's not me :D
Apart from the crusader's turret which should be closer to the abrams turret, the A10's 30mm that was eaten by its nose and the specter's machine guns and the MOAB bomb that was replaced by smoke, everything is perfect (the Paladin and Burton are the best ones for me) Now we have to wait for Xezon's patch (hopefully soon)
Ngl, I've never understood why people use "clip" instead of "magazine" when a magazine is more common and can even be used on scifi weapons. Magazine - a container that holds ammunition. Clip - A piece of metal that holds cartridges.
Countermeasures and King Raptor is pog. The animated king raptor reminds me of the unit portrait animations in Starcraft 2 and its so cooool! Like it gives the aura that its about to do something nasty to the enemy.
This is just awesome dude. Love the gla video too. Especially the king raptor, crusader and ranger worked really well. And general Alexander animation is cool too!
0:21 tank has no mantlet so no vertical movement 0:54 the minigun looks out of focus 1:13 the jet engines suddenly have propellers in the rear 1:22 the Raptor's air intakes are closed off 1:51 UAV's landing gear turns into multiple cameras 2:06 whatever the hell that is 2:23 gun barrels turn into smoke trails 6:52 what is that on her wrist?
The Ranger in the beginning is definitively off. The reason I say it is because of the extra rear iron sight (at least that’s what it looks like to me) attached on the M16’s top rail. This was likely something attached to the Ranger’s LBE instead, perhaps a radio, but the AI couldn’t differentiate. The shorter barrel and the different shape of the lower receiver also irk me. Everything else looks decent, though!
It wouldn’t hurt to go over some of these with a Stylist and make a few small changes though. Like, fixing the American flag on the Ranger’s shoulder, the Aviators on the Pilot or the Star of David on the Tomahawk.
Very impressive work. Nice seeing these icon's in such quality. Although some of the real life vehicle's I am pretty sure you could have just googled like the raptor Chinook and the predator drone.
I wonder how the original photos were made or how did they look in high res before they were implemented in the game? Someone must have these photos right?
The first thing I am going to do when ai is fully capable of making triple A games in a matter of minutes is create a Command and Conquer 4 that is meant to be in all of our hearts.
This is sick bro, much love and appreciate the great work❤❤ I think the bomb of the moab needs some editing though it looks like a smoke or something .
You know the details added are amazing like seriously look at that paladin! It would be really cool for it to look like that in the game instead of just its icon!
Looks awesome, but I noticed a couple of faults The upscaled A-10s are missing their GAU-8/A "Avenger" cannons, and the Evac All upscale changes the helicopter from a Chinook to something else.
Unfortunately it still has the classic AI kinks. ...like why do the A-10's have different noses? Why does the left-most A-10 have half its engines merged with its fuselage? Why does the "lead" A-10 have a prop at the end, and its right engine merged somehow with its tailfin? What in the blazes happened to the rear of the spy drone? Why's the chemsuit's fingers broken? Why does the Hellfire drone have a cockpit like its a fighter jet? Why's the MOAB just dropping smoke? And yet the more abstract ones like the Battle Drone look.. surprisingly crisp. I'd love some of these, but most are just.. ..mgh.. they look great on first glance but the longer you look the more you see its crookedness
with AI photoshop and doing voices of units and generals is just the ultimate upgrade of the century if only.. ONLY, we're able to contact any of the Generals voice actors and have them on podcasts Dominator is fit as a proper English Speaker and can be nominated :P
Crusader tank definitely still needs work. The turret makes it look like at tank destroyer. Colonel burtons face The first A-10 back side looks like it has propellers Commanche just needs to be upscaled not a redesign on the tail. It is a picture from its initial inception irl. Aurora alpha bombers tail. I can see why the AI made its mistake there. The MOAB. Picture in game is on it coming towards the camera and dropping the bomb. AI one has it going away to space dropping the bombing making it a huge perspective issue
4:43 The B-52 looks strange. Just like a B-52SP (B747 to B747SP modification). BTW, I love how aurora alpha was improved. The fuel-air bomb explosion in the background looks fantastic!
It is by the same measure fascinatingly productive and frightening what machine learning can do nowadays even on "budget" hardware. (No offence, Dominator ;) The thing that really got my attention is the way AI remodels aircraft. They look way more believable afterwards. Details which were looking kind of cool in the original pictures, but would make the plane worse in reality. The program fixed those things. Like the wingshape and the oversized front pitot tube of the Aurora Alpha f.e. Crazy!
I really wish the original CnC Generals team over at EA would've released every infantry unit's original reference picture and the original 3D Renders of the each nations vehicles/tanks.
Really cool results. Is there a way to make a mod or change the game files to replace the assets? it would be cool to see an official one by xezon or something so that it is not detected as cheat
Very impressive, good work! I like how they all keep the "flair" of the original ones without inventing too much of it. Most of them look very good, the Colonel Burton one is especially impressive. Just the gun is weird, it goes from a gatling to shooting from the middle out of 1 barrel :D Couple you should look back into: TOW Upgrade: Here what should be a Humvee with its mounted weapon the AI interpreted most of it as smoke MOAB: Same thing, it interpreted most of the bomb as smoke, also the fins Spectre Gunship: The front gun also is turned into smoke now, also the turbine looks very whack Spy Satellite: The blurred "stars" make no sense, stars arent dirty marks on your lens or are between the lens and the satellite - they should all be small and sharp Hellfire drone: Idk if the background is supposed to be water, could also be clouds from above. Sentry gun, Gun upgrade: The gun itself extends out of the picture originally, here it looks comically small and also disrupts the bullet behind it, making the AI make 2 bullets out of it at the tip
Regarding Sentry Drone gun icon, it looks to me like EA Games got some 50 cal. rounds off google images, then placed (rather badly) the gun of the in-game sentry done across it. Original image looks very bad and not to scale, so AI struggles and just does what it can. Of course if we have a photoshop professional somewhere who is willing to help then that would be great! static.wikia.nocookie.net/cnc_gamepedia_en/images/5/56/ZH_Sentry_Drone_Gun_Icons.png/revision/latest/thumbnail/width/360/height/450?cb=20180801163801
AI is going to give us a worthwhile remaster before EA does
I would play the LIVING SHITE out of it, regardless of the dev, or the publisher, should it work with that graphics!
There is "cnc generals evolution mod" already
AI is gonna give us better movies than hollywood.
Modern audiences are ones that does not need or want one, that is the main problem
No it won't, the details are absurd if you take some time to look closer. It requires a lot of time to polish AI result by hand, which is destroys the whole idea.
looks awesome, what a big difference ..Imagine the game looking like that
If the game looked like this and if they actually remaster it to look like this. I will drop everything else and they can take my money
My dream ❤
Except EA is going to charge you extra for each upscaled unit
Games with high detail at the scale of CNC look absolutely awful and you cannot distinguish easily between different units because all that extra detail gets blurred together and looks trash from far away.
Low detail = high detail, The red guard, rangers and rebels weapons are all only a few pixels across yet completely distinguishable from each other , It's what makes low detail games like this work so well, less polygons too which helps performance massively
Not putting domi's work down at all, these all look amazing
The icons are small af so it wouldn’t matter if he upscaled it
Nothing like a fine blend of "extremely cursed" and "damn impressive"
But considering the quality of original icons, I can forgive the AI for some cursed ones.
We can't leave the AI to do _all_ the work, now, can we?
its funny how the AI screwed up the more clear ones, but did amazing with the most confusing ones
1:21 lol startscream
6:24 Like any good sniper pathfinder is cross-eyed!
Both eyes are looking at the camera, for the pose :P
It's a feature, so he can look in multiple directions at once
more like he heard something to his right and tries to see it whit out moving.
(think that scene in juresic park... Clever girl.
Nah, any good marksmen knows it's important to move your eye. Either blinking one side or both. He is probably just watching something else. As long as your head doesn't move, you are still zeroed in.

A10 I agree, should be better given they are very common
Missile defender gets a mag on his rocket launcher too
Probably could be fixed with some better prompts.
That and the "King Raptor"
also the Comanche. the up scaled version has a horizontal tail rotor and missing the internal rotor/fan

Actually that's an optic
@@richitunder7997look at the massive mag hanging from the soldiers elbow, i think thats what @hamzashaheen1500 meant

I *do* kinda wanna see another take on the Crusader. Current Upscale got too many greebles.
wow Domi its really very good bro. normally these ai upscales are not similar with main assets. ai adds many unoriginal things. but yours are so loyal to main images. and details are exceptional. your efforts with photoshop also important about it. gj!
A-10 looks low key cursed. No 30mm dakka, and the far one looks like a jet powered OV10 Bronco
True that. A10 was a hard one to do. In the end you run it off 100 times and have to pick the best one out of the bunch. Not always perfect. Could probably be fixed by a photoshop professional but sadly that's not me :D

Now we have to wait for Xezon's patch (hopefully soon)
Lol. That missle defender has a huge ammo clip underneath his elbow
How else is he gonna laser lock :D
@@DoMiNaToR3 What I was gonna say! Gj man!
And how did you think it starts shooting faster when it locks on a target with laser guidance? It needs such a clip of missiles anyway :))
We have now removed the clip
Ngl, I've never understood why people use "clip" instead of "magazine" when a magazine is more common and can even be used on scifi weapons.
Magazine - a container that holds ammunition.
Clip - A piece of metal that holds cartridges.
That Commanche would be spinning uncontrollably with the horizontal tail rotor. Might need to redo that one.
Countermeasures and King Raptor is pog. The animated king raptor reminds me of the unit portrait animations in Starcraft 2 and its so cooool! Like it gives the aura that its about to do something nasty to the enemy.
Awesome to see the love that a 20+ year old game still gets from the community.
This is just awesome dude. Love the gla video too. Especially the king raptor, crusader and ranger worked really well. And general Alexander animation is cool too!
This is incredible, I really like the alpha aurora bomber pic, what an amazing sight to see! Great job Domi!

This would be incredible to have when playing
Someone get on this please. Upscaled zero hour is a decent compromise since we'll seemingly never get an actual remaster or a sequel :(
How the fuck did the AI get the semi-real tank so wrong but fucking nailed the laser tank? lmfao
That’s exactly how I saw these icons back in my childhood on a crt monitor
was about to turn of that vid off after seeing ranger with tacticool glasses and crusader with rounded turret, but it kept getting better
6:07 music/ost name?? Anyone?? PLEASE??
0:51 was half expecting Arnies face. Commando film (im old).
Let off some steam Bennett!
that Crusader tank looks really cursed, like a Russian tank covered with ERA trying to pass off as an American Tank.
I love the faithful almost 1:1 recreation of AI upscalling
Bro this goes so hard with that ZH cover lol
As soon as the AI can figure out letters and words, these images are feel so more much vibrant.
LOL, the pathfinder is acquiring two targets at once.
Looks incredible, im so happy to see more command and conquer videos so far after its release
That pilot looks like he's joined the GLA
I wonder how the original photos were made or how did they look in high res before they were implemented in the game? Someone must have these photos right?

This is awesome! Thanks for your efforts Domi.
Damn! I love it Domi!
Can't wait to see them in-game! ( if its possible to get that high-res in there withoud modding )
They can go into the game with INI files and it doesn't cause mismatch.
You know the details added are amazing like seriously look at that paladin! It would be really cool for it to look like that in the game instead of just its icon!
Looks awesome, but I noticed a couple of faults
The upscaled A-10s are missing their GAU-8/A "Avenger" cannons, and the Evac All upscale changes the helicopter from a Chinook to something else.
Lots of details and parts are messed up but the overall high quality photo feeling is just lovely
Avenger and UAV drone look CRISP.
Looks awesome! There are a few funny things remaining, like the MOAB being smoke instead of a bomb, or the propellors on the A10 haha
Very impressive. It even captures the way the models look in game.
Unfortunately it still has the classic AI kinks.

Icons
I always found it funny Burton's icon had a chain gun when his model had some sort of assault rifle
incredible work brother, thank you for keeping this game alive.
One man effort!
Imagine what can be done with the army of passionate devs and players
Imagine getting remaster for this game like Command and conquer remastered with fresh coat of paint ranked online play and remastered soundtracks etc.
Colonel Burton looks like he's having a stroke
Nice, the Missile Defender has now a Magazine to reload :D
Wow the quality is amazing, sure there are a few minor stuff which I wouldn’t mind since the images are small in the UI
Looks amazing. Thank you for all the effort you are putting into this
great seeing people still making C&CG contents !
Just.. mind blowing 🤯 sooooo good. Thank you man! I hope you can integrate it in the game!
I really hope that AI is able to support game developing in the future, especially for Remasters. We need a Generals Remaster/Remake ASAP!

The humvee, king raptor and the chinook versions are *chef's kiss*
Burton the Colonel rocking dat chest hair tho
Crusader tank definitely still needs work. The turret makes it look like at tank destroyer.
Colonel burtons face
The first A-10 back side looks like it has propellers
Commanche just needs to be upscaled not a redesign on the tail. It is a picture from its initial inception irl.
Aurora alpha bombers tail. I can see why the AI made its mistake there.
The MOAB. Picture in game is on it coming towards the camera and dropping the bomb. AI one has it going away to space dropping the bombing making it a huge perspective issue
Bro I can't say how much I love you for keeping my childhood alive and relevant

Some of these look really awesome like the AC-130 'angel wing' flares and the standard F-22.
It is by the same measure fascinatingly productive and frightening what machine learning can do nowadays even on "budget" hardware. (No offence, Dominator ;)

Wow that Paladin Tank looks absolutely awesome. I miss Generals so bad. I have not enjoyed an RTS since...
Hellyea, love it dude. Can't wait for the day we can upscale the ingame graphics too hah!
fantastic well done, loveto see this as standard in the game
And now to wait for a video where each unit gets an AI voiceline and AI-generated clips
i love the 6,000 missile magazine on the missile defender.
Man, Domi, great job! Hope it can be released for everyone still playing Generals ZH.
Not gonna lie, the AI did pretty well. Though it does need a bit of a human hand to help it out a bit, the triple A-10 was atrocious.
Dude, I literally had goosebumps since the very first picture. That is f amazing
I really wish the original CnC Generals team over at EA would've released every infantry unit's original reference picture and the original 3D Renders of the each nations vehicles/tanks.
Very cool.
Interesting how the AI interprets/reinterprets pixelation.
Really cool results.
Is there a way to make a mod or change the game files to replace the assets? it would be cool to see an official one by xezon or something so that it is not detected as cheat
Very impressive, good work! I like how they all keep the "flair" of the original ones without inventing too much of it. Most of them look very good, the Colonel Burton one is especially impressive.
Just the gun is weird, it goes from a gatling to shooting from the middle out of 1 barrel :D
Couple you should look back into:
TOW Upgrade: Here what should be a Humvee with its mounted weapon the AI interpreted most of it as smoke
MOAB: Same thing, it interpreted most of the bomb as smoke, also the fins
Spectre Gunship: The front gun also is turned into smoke now, also the turbine looks very whack
Spy Satellite: The blurred "stars" make no sense, stars arent dirty marks on your lens or are between the lens and the satellite - they should all be small and sharp
Hellfire drone: Idk if the background is supposed to be water, could also be clouds from above.
Sentry gun, Gun upgrade: The gun itself extends out of the picture originally, here it looks comically small and also disrupts the bullet behind it, making the AI make 2 bullets out of it at the tip
Regarding Sentry Drone gun icon, it looks to me like EA Games got some 50 cal. rounds off google images, then placed (rather badly) the gun of the in-game sentry done across it. Original image looks very bad and not to scale, so AI struggles and just does what it can. Of course if we have a photoshop professional somewhere who is willing to help then that would be great!

This is really fantastic domi. Hope it makes it into the UI at some point. My favourite is the raptor with black fins, wow
Imagine an update of zero hour looking like this
