Claim 0:
1. A method performed by a computer, the method comprising:
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 the computer, 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 features used to render the training input images; 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,
wherein the training input images are low-resolution images generated by a second generator of a second generative adversarial network, wherein the training output images are high-resolution rendered images, and wherein the second generator of the second generative adversarial network was trained using second training data comprising second training input images and second training output images and a second set of the features used to render the training output images.
