Go behind-the-scenes at LithTech

Uploaded for archival purposes.

This video was originally a 13.8 MB, 240x176 wmv video that I downloaded off of Fileplanet around 2003. I upscaled this video to 1920x1080 via waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan with denoise level 3 to remove pixelation. The original publications of this video were a 11 MB (modem version) and the 13.8 MB (IDSN version). Eventually there was slightly better quality versions released on the official Lithtech website, but I wasn't able to back up those copies as I wasn't aware of them at the time. Shortly after the Lithtech website was changed and the download links were gone.
