Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A computer comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by the processor to perform operations including:
receiving color data for input pixels of an input image and an input set of features used to render the input image of a three-dimensional animation environment, wherein the input pixels are of a first resolution;
loading into memory of a generator of a generative adversarial network, wherein the generator comprises a neural network used to scale the input image, wherein the generator was trained using training data comprising color data of training input images and training output images and a training set of the features used to render the training input images, wherein the neural network comprises a plurality of residual blocks and a scale block used to scale the input image to form the output image, and wherein the residual blocks are one of a residual block, a residual block without batch normalization, or a dense residual block; and
generating an output image having a second resolution that is different than the first resolution by passing the color data and the input set of features through the generator.
