Enscape people assets are a great way to communicate scale, context, activity, function and more. This is perfect when you're exploring the project or creating animations. The image below is from the Enscape website, illustrating a selection of Enscape people assets.

However, the lack of detail in faces and other features can be distracting. Zooming into the image above, you'll notice a lack of detail in the people assets, which also contrasts with the higher detail in the background. It seems like the assets are out of focus. They're not out of focus - it's just the lack of resolution compared to the rest of the image.

Upsampling the image creates the illusion of detail in face, hair, eyes and other features. This up sampling took about a minute using Magnific (magnific.ai). When I showed the results to someone, the only complaint was the final image seemed "too perfect"! :)

Here's the step-by-step using Magnific. Using my Revit / Enscape sample project, I added a selection of people assets. Then, created a series of favorited views. Finally, batch exported all three views. You can download the sample project here.

Head over to Magnific and upload the first image (below). Notice the settings to the left of the image. After a bit of testing, I set the Scale Factor to 4x, selected Optimized for Film and Photography and set the Resemblance slider to 10.

After about one minute, here's the first result.

The second result.

And the third result.

Wonderful and natural looking detail! The skin, hair, eyes and other feature seems remarkably realistic. Here's a few close ups (before and after) of the image above.

Note the subtle detail of the hands on the upsampled wristwatch (above).

Even the natural drape and fold of the clothing and hair have been increased (above).

Note the skin tones, eyes and overall lighting. I can't imagine the time and expertise required to create this kind of natural looking result via manual photo editing.
