Upscaling Skyboxes

- I used various Topaz programs to upscale skyboxes from Half-Life 1 and CS 1.6, bringing them from 256x256 to 1024x1024 resolution. Why? The excuse this time is to celebrate me approaching my one million subscriber goal.

I'd love to see maps put in the wrong skybox, like dust with siroccos or something

sv_skyname
If doesn't work use hlae and mirv commands. There is a tutorial on yt
@@nocapmajor doesnt work with the new 3d skyboys like dust 2, nuke and inferno
@@yowaifps then use mirv commands :D
@@yowaifps just download a csgo cheat and test it in -insecure. most cheats have skybox changer, even skyboxes that arent present in the game.

When I was a kid I dreamed about exploring the Half-life 1 Skybox. I went really far and found a little house on the other side of the mountain. I felt like I've found a Easter Egg that no one would ever found. To this day, my brain looks at that mountain and imagine that there's a house just laying there. With no one to find it.
_UP vibes_
I know right? I used to play CS 1.6 with no bots and just explore the maps and the skybox, I used to spend a lot of time in one map that was set in a skyscraper (which had a telescope with a funny easter egg) and now it feels very nostalgic.
Man you should break out the hammer editor and make that house on the mountain!
a new core memory
Same reason, I love HL Skyboxes.
So Nostalgic

The super high fov and constant rotation really aren't a good combo for nausea 🤢

got that "moving illusion" at 4:07 after looking at spinning images for 4 minutes straight
I thought it was part of the video, holy shit
I think this ai is spectacular, think what could we do with it in five years time.
Im not going to think because someone said it in yt comments
Ah yes, the "Zoom in, enhance." throwback from the movies will be real, the future is here
five years: "Hello, and welcome to Computer-aided Aperture Enrichment Center..."
in 5 years AI will slave you.
Someone screenshot this and wait 5 years
Philip: so anyway, i started upscaling
10 minutes of -anti- counter clockwise rotating cube boxes 🤢
But for the content, thanks!
We handle anticlockwise rotation better than clockwise, or so I've heard, however this is clockwise rotation not counter clockwise.
@@xFluing It is counter clockwise...
Шпрот it depends on your perspective. The view is moving counter clockwise or the sky box is moving clockwise.
@@nolanL Woah
@@user-uh2nv6qr8q Regardless of technicality it still results in the skybox moving clockwise.
that was an oddly relaxing trip through classic skyboxes.
I started feeling dizzy 6 minutes in but the nostalgia was epic
that star wars reference at 3:46
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?
@@lewa_j its not a story the jedi would tell you
It’s a Sith legend.
Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith,
so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life…
I think I’m gonna throw up 🤢
Damm, it is worse than playing in vr
i just finished watching it and i am super motion sick rn
Yeah I watched the video for about 5 minutes and had to pause for a moment.
yeah too much spin
Yeah he really fucked up with the FOV
Sometimes I think he makes his videos difficult to watch on purpose, I don't see how he could be dumb enough to miss that issue during editing
CS:GO Source 2 is looking great!
Watching these skyboxes spinning constantly actually made my vision go a bit dizzy, pretty cool.
3:50 When I heard "Which some" I knew what came next haha
ngl this made me dizzy lol
waterbottlegamingtv HEY HEY HEY it’s called motion sickness kid
ip
ur weak then
6:28 I love how excited he gets about FOREST!! wholesome af
3:52 "which some consider ... unnatural"
good one Philip :D
Im loving your grind philip. Words cannot express how important your videos, let alone presence are to this community
Optical illusion - of all the spinning then a still image appears and am i look at a moving image rn?
5:52 lmao so they just took the windows xp background
video is gonna give me a migraine, jesus philip
why yes timezones bringing us videos at 3 am
I need sleep tho 😭😭
Uh Americans... Its 11am in Europe, go sleep
It's 9:04 am here
Saigonas I'm uk
2:50pm here
Yes! You shown a clip from this video in an other and I was looking for it. Looks like you teased us. Nice one man.
Warning: people might get motion sickness after watching this
Thanks for the warning *barf*
Did you?
@@toad3222 No but may people complained about no warning and getting motion sickness. I like to warn people about it.

@@mal0gen ur cringey
Since I started playing FPS games, I was in love with the skyboxes. It wasnt the map itself that sparked my curiosity and awe, but just looking at the sky and those far hills, forest or cities. Unreal and CS Sourse were the first games that I truly wanted to fly outside the map limits.
Philip uses high fov and rapid rotation to weed out weak-stomached subscribers. 🤔
It's actually insane how this upscaling already looks dated compared to what we have now, cool but kinda scary
It's cool to see philip finally learning one of his brother 2klick's favorite hobbies. Sharing hobbies always does bring a family together. :)
Your videos lovely in so many ways. The calm voice-over and the tech music reminds me of the times i was procastinating while watching your videos
I have a hangover from last nigh. This as the first video I watch in the morning on my phone really fucks me off. Brb, I'm going to puke again.
Great video though Philips!! Keep it up!
I’m feeling dizzy with all this spinning
makes the game look so much better, thanks for the work!
I was waiting for this, loved it!
Some of them worked really well too :)
Thank you philip for being what you are!
Tom Scott just brought out a video 2 days ago talking about upscaling aswell! Really well done and informative video from both of you!
upscaling returns!
The man has an addiction
The fisheye effect throughout the video gave me a headache.
This is an awesome idea, and you pulled it off great as usual. I’m loving all this content over the past weeks!
It was so great that I almost threw up
thats some 4d cinema shit!
couldn't finish the video because of that though :(
I love these kinds of videos, great work!
When he becomes billionaire he would manage to start upscalating reality
This video makes me sick. Couldn't finish it lmao
you have my upvote cause I aswell could not finish this video.
3:51 damn this is a reference i love to notice, its everywhere and i smile every time, thanks philip
While I have no idea how skyboxes and any of this works, I love watching your videos Philip! Upscaled/10.
Now, can you upscale london's skybox in real life?
Where did you get these full resolution textures for CT and Leet Crew?
3:49 that Star Wars reference made me laugh way harder than it should have
I love your videos so much philip. Whenever im bored i just go over to one of your channels and watch your videos. You do alot of work with your videos and i appreciate it and i absolutely love watching them! Keep up the good work! :D
Funkwy “I go to one of your channels” bro what are you talking about? He only has one channel
4:12 Lmao is that porn on every single of those window
Hentai headquarters.
perhaps the upscaling ai was trained on porn
yep
Again, a comment from 5 days ago. How?!!
Release privately maybe?

It was unlisted
Edit: ruclips.net/video/dLscA_IlHrE/видео.html go to 2:05 and you'll see it, top right corner
Hahaha
@@Sickcrazyneet He doesn't have a patreon
Thanks for another great video Philip!
omg i can't believe i've been watching your videos for 2 years and i wasn't subscribed .... keep at it m8
can you put a download link for these skybox that you upscaled?

You're guys are faster than me with girl, wtf.
8:32 I think that skybox is trying to replicate a skybox from the original Doom and thats why its named doom1.
God damnit 3kilkphillips!
You said you'll stop upscaling!
I enjoy direct comparison shots more tbh. This moving camera gives me a headache:(
This makes me dizzy.
I feel so happy for him getting 1 mil.
A channel with:
-good content
-master edits
-a creator who spends literally half his time doing professional level videos with details and explanations, which can any one understand.
-all deserved, its all hard work. No clickbaits, no crap no begging for anything..
You are not a youtuber you are an Idol a perfect Idol for all us. Thank You!!!
forest was stunning! :o
well done, Sir Philip!
4:12 Am i the only who see some kind of randomly cut out images from anime?(In the windows)
Me to dude guess I'm a weeb
You're not alone
weebs FeelsWeirdMan
I thought it was porn smh.
Counter Strike but it's an isekai
I'm tired of pretty things, can you scale them down a bit.
Sir Reoser y e s

me with epilepsy: let the body with the floor!
After 10 minutes of spinning skyboxes, You spin my head right round right round..
i'm getting motion sickness out of watching half of it, make some kind of warning in description
No1 reads description
then stop watching ahaha
Are you watching it through a VR headset?
i watched nearly all of it - usually i don't care that much to comment about some flaws. it was bit unconfortable as expected from spinning, but during forest scene i had to legit look away to not get motion sickness, so i thought to point it out for others, cause motion sickness can be a bitch sometimes
it doesn't have to be description, maybe his pinned comment or something
Too much spining aroud, head started to hurt damn
Good video tho
Kliksphilip you and your consistent videos of quality have made this pandemic more bearable, I appreciate you. Keep up the great work
Really liking this upload schedule
this makes my eyes feel weird
Hey 3kilkspilip, Can you just release an original vs upscaled like you did at 0:52 for all the examples, don't like the spinning thing making me dizzy, No idea how you endured editing that.
Francois Van Zyl he dosnt have motion sickness the reason it spins is so you see more
weeb
If you make another (or similar) video like this, I'd like to have an additional text indicating the game of wich the skybox came frome. I haven't played most of them and it was kinda interesting how varied the qualities were. Nice video. :)
You talking about wanting to explore the skyboxes reminds me of dreams I used to have as a kid with exploring unreachable parts of various games I loved back then. I'm sad that I can't remember any of the dreams, but am at least glad I know I had them.
DAYIK IS A WANNA BE FRIENDS ACCOUNT DONT CLICK HIS PROFILE
what does that even mean
@@bocajer1 He's speaking in tongues
What this person is trying to say is that dayik is one of the accounts that can use some weird workaround ato get into your account when you do any interaction with it (liking, commenting, checkng their profile, etc...)
Could you lower the FOV next time? This makes me sick to watch on mobile
MushroomHub it’s to show more if you don’t like the video you can pause and take a breath
Yes, yes, i've always wanted to explore these skyboxes when i play the game, but i can only image how it was so cool.
Trippy mess of faces hahahah love it, didn't see that coming. kliks trips confirmed
Dawn skybox was missing, it was meant to be in the game but it can be found in the Half-Life SDK files (Half-Life Day One). I'd love to see that skybox upscaled, it has a purple/pink theme into it with mountains and cloudy weather. Great vid Philip. 👍.
5:56 "Pls fx" That's the greatest reference you could've made there, well done, holy crap lol
5:56 "plz fx"
I love it.
Thank you for stopping by my stream tonight. I really appreciate the help!
The 'pls fx' made me spit out my coffee. Lol!
I've picked up on it before and just ignored it thinking it was a coincidence, but now I know for sure - Phillip is a Star Wars prequels fan
I think it's interesting for a video like this where when you're watching it you arent necessarily aware of the change in topic at the end, since it seems like a natural progression of a thought, but having the timestamps there highlights all of the extra effort it takes to have another chapter or paragraph to the video
I would love to see a remake of this video but with current generative tools. Cubemaps can also be turned into equilateral panoramas so seams don't become a problem.
I love the random sunflares in the thumbnails
If I'm remembering correctly, the Doom1 skybox was used in Aztec and was lifted from the first level of the first Doom game's skybox. Kind of neat.
10 straight minutes of 3kliksphillip savaging mapmakers from the 2000s
really nice video man!
1:25 it's like putting on glasses in that you don't know any better option, until you realize that you were seeing a downgraded version of everything the whole time
Ty I needed this
It’s 5 am and you’ve uploaded a video.
Time to watch
The "pls fix" is getting me, haha
Hey I was curious to know if maybe you could make a video where you upscale the textures of a bunch of old games ( like half life 1 except the whole game) and more. I think it would be very interesting to see the results. Great video Phillip hope you do more upscaling vids in the future
the music 3klik uses in his videos always gives me the same urge to explore things that are not meant to explored and also makes me want to go back to CS:GO SDK and create something cool :D
Certain skyboxes from Deus Ex 1 (gloomy, foreboding atmosphere), Halo 1's ring skybox, and some from other games give me a strong feeling of exploration with lots of depth, and wanting to be there (I enjoy clouds in skies with lots of depth, even if the sky is gloomy). It's a delicate balance to get the right atmosphere.
Nobody:
3kilksphilip: *upscale*
This was the PERFECT opportunity for a VR video
Wow, thank you for the information Philip!
It's funny, when the amount of my f's given about skyboxes are somewhere between f**k all and none, yet still 3kliks makes this the most interesting thing on RUclips. You Sir, are addictive.
I caught that slick Star Wars reference, Phillipe.
