Local AI visual project

Baldur’s Gate II, HD Visual Project

I played BG2 when it came out. This is a personal attempt to revisit its art with local AI models and agents: improve the scenery and animation where it works, and keep the game’s strange old atmosphere intact.

Not a remake

More readable, maybe. Still unmistakably BG2.

The original art is the reference, not raw material to replace. If an upscale stops feeling like Baldur’s Gate II, it gets reworked or left alone.

A map I know by heart

Waukeen’s
Promenade.

Every asset is improved one by one, then checked visually in game. Drag the handle to compare this example with the original.

What I am tinkering with

Work across many
asset categories.

Backgrounds

Maps, one area at a time

The long job: clearer scenery without changing how the original scene is composed.

Things that move

Animations and effects

Frames, loops and masks — with manual fixes whenever the model gets inventive.

Still experimental

Creature sprite studies

A test bench: some results are promising, many remain notes rather than releases.
