Blogger Dmitry finargot Plyusnin showed how a neural network can improve the images of items in Dota 2. He posted a video on his personal YouTube channel.
Finargon said he got the idea from Chinese social media. He noted that the original item images in Valve’s MOBAs are of very low quality, but with the help of modern technology, it is quite easy to fix this. The work used the Stable Diffusion neural network.
On July 9, Dota 2 turned ten years old. For the anniversary, Valve announced a surprise, but noted that they would not have time to release it by the required date. The developers did not disclose any details about their plans.
