Hq2x, 3x and 4x upsampling tools required.
Anyone remember these? They're tools to allow upscaling of pixel art. The author's site is down, so I was wondering if anyone has a copy they could send me? Many thanks!

I did look at it, but I don't think I downloaded it. Can't see it on my HD I'm afraid!
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!

I probably have them on an archive disk, but can't be arsed to look

I assume that when you upsize pixel art the normal algorithyms causes the squares to 'bleed' into one another, causing a more fuzzy transition between the squares?

actually these are meant to NOT do that according to posts I just read regarding it.. They say they remain crisp.. but images supposedly using it tell me different as they often looked soft and lest defined.. So I don't know what's so special about them..

I found hq4x on my backup. I tried it on the low res gorilla from the Bloodbane thread. It looks pants.
I think these filters only work well on images with very stark blocks of colour and contrast changes. No good for subtle sprites IMHO.
