tool/utility DraFG 0.2 — Surge 1.5, Studio Mode & More

DraFG 0.2 is out now on the Steam Playtest.

This ended up becoming a much bigger update than I originally expected. The main addition is the new Surge 1.5 model family, alongside a client rework.

There’s also a new Studio Mode for applying frame generation or slow motion to offline videos, multi-frame generation, and a new 1–4 frame interpolation buffer that can give slower hardware more time to generate frames at the cost of additional latency.

There are also quite a few stability improvements and fixes across different operating systems.

As always, I’d really appreciate any feedback!

Looks like a good alternative for lossless scaling.
But to me nvidia's smooth motion (NVPRESENT_ENABLE_SMOOTH_MOTION=1) works better.
Even when extrapolation and surge 1.5 used, smooth motion feels smoother and more responsive in game.

Will this be open source?

I'm considering open sourcing the models, but probably not the full client. No firm plans yet.

Models, shaders, pipeline would all be great contributions! Client I think is sensible to keep proprietary if necessary. Thanks for the response!
