I spent way too much time play around with this today, but my upscale results:

This was definitely the worst offender because of the artifacts in vanilla. Good job!

Very nice! I am all for pro vanilla with Tech's upscale. I was in favor of JS because there was no good upscale until now. Shine of the Divines loses too much fine detail.

There have been several with the red channel that are just horribly artifacted. Sometimes the blue is too, but never to the extent of the red. Mara has actually been the worst of the lot so far.

I agree. They almost look cartoony. The problem is not taking enough care to test and test and test when upscaling. No two textures fit the same set of models or combinations. Too many just batch process and call it a day. A good upscale is going to take some time and a lot of testing.

I'm almost done with all of them, just 2-3 left. Just finished Mara:

Some of your upscales are more obviously better than others with respect to vanilla, but all are more/less better, so I vote to create a mod page for your new mod and accept for 2.0.0

I think everyone agreed this was too far out of scope. Dropping from testing.
