My train, bus and tram scenes are all in

All my published scenes can be found at

Stella!

She's like my current weather... wild, stormy, wet... yet still hot! :)

Animating a train to pass by a subway station platform would be relatively simple to program into a scene - at least as long as the platform was straight (and particularly easy if it runs from one side of the screen to the other rather than being at an angle). However, the problem is finding pictures of stations and trains that match. I have tried it with normal above ground stations and have abandoned the effort because I have not been able to find suitable images even when I have photographed the trains myself.

Perhaps the simplest would be to use a station in which there is a platform in the foreground, some tracks with a second platform behind them with much of that platform being taken up by wide pillars or walls with relatively small passgeways between them (many subway stations have areas like this). We could then animate a train passing on a second set of tracks behind the pillars. As only relatively small sections of the train would be visible at any time it would, I think, be easier to make its motion look realistic.

It is a bit easier to put the girls in a train and have a landscape passing by be visible through its windows.

Hi @Grabandt and @sh42n81

Just spotted this conversation 😉 The train station scene isnt something I would like to work on. I have sooooo many ideas and projects on the go atm and to be honest this one doesnt tickle my fancy lol.
The biggest issue is the limitations of how fullscreen works on iStripper, the image wouldn't support a train moving through that tunnel at that angle and still look "real".
Would love to help out but it isnt possible. There are quite a few train scenes that have been posted over the years in the forum, many of them are fantastic (I have all of them in my collection),
I can find the links to them if you cant find them.
Enjoy the girls 👍

This one can be closed :)

@Grabant

I noticed with some girls that they fall over the platform edge.

Thank you for pointing that out. I haven't noticed it yet. I'll revise it and move the model a little farther away from the edge. Unfortunately, there's only so much I can do because some models use A LOT of the stage with their movements. So, the occasional girl breaking the illusion is inevitabe, but I'll work to reduce it.

It also seems, upon a fresh look, that I have made the model height unrealistically large. I'll correct that, too.

a highlight would of course be if a real subway would always pass by.
I don't know if that can be achieved.

I'm sure that it can be done, but I do not have anywhere close to the skill required, sadly. Also, do you think that a train passing in an abadoned subway station would compromise the illusion of realism? I'm glad you like the scene; thanks for sharing your thoughts.

J'ai fais le test, et effectivement lorsqu'une fille sort de l'écran en mode petit, elle est remplacée par une autre fille. De là l'importance de déplacer les filles plus vers le centre, lorsqu'on voit qu'elles se retrouvent trop près de l'extrémité de l'écran. 😊

Le centrage du modèle n'a lieu qu'en taille réelle. Mais même en taille réelle, le modèle peut quitter le côté de l'écran. Cela n'arrête pas la lecture de la carte.

En espérant que cela peut-être utile.

I'm currently using a Synology NAS with Four 4TB drives in a Raid 5 configuration.
This results in 10.9 TB of Usable Storage.

I also have Two 8Tb drives that I'm using to back up the iStripper files to.

I hope, to update the four 4TB drives to four 8TB drives.

And that will yield 21.8 TB of storage in raid 5

Why Raid 5 or 6
HDD fail. Often without prior indication.
Raid 5 offers Hot swap and rebuild of a single failed drive.
Raid 6 offers Hot Swap and rebuild of up to Two failed drives.

If you are running a Raid setup, Make sure you have at least one Spare drive you can swap in,
in case of a failure.

Then Get a replacement right away.
Not on my Home system, but on my business system, I've had two drives fail with in a week of one another.
Good thing I had got the spare right away.

iStipper has never prodced cards in a higher resolution than they have been recorded in.
( except of the VG Classic collection, that is the only product that has been upscaled to a higher then recorded resolution )

The Most current Information I have from the team is that they are recording in 5K
and producing 4K, 3K, 1080p and 720p product from the 5K recordings.

With the most current equipment they have, it takes them well over 12 hours to process a card.
This means, the production team makes the required edits and adjustments
then clicks the Process button, and it takes 12 hours to see the finished results.

When they first produced 4K, the higher bit rate took over 24 hrs to process.

iStripper is producing 30 minute long video every day.

it's not like a commercial or a tv show or a movie where they have days, or weeks, Months or years to work on the final product.

The Team is pumping out 4K 30 minute length video in less than a day.

Until current computer processing power quadruples, and the price becomes affordable
I believe 4K will be the Limit of the iStripper product for the foreseeable future.

There also has to be a user base capable of experiencing the new resolutions.

if you look at the collected Stats from web users around the world,
The Screen Resolutions being used are actually Dropping, not Increasing.
this is because more and more Mobile users are replacing the traditional Desktop users in volume.

But if you only consider Desk top / lap top users
1366 x 768 tops the list, followed closely by 1920 x 1080

these two combined Make up 60% of the users
Lower resolutions make up about the next 30%
and about 10% fall into the higher or Unknown resolutions.

This is one site you can check stats at, there are many others.
https://gs.statcounter.com/

Anyway, that's my perspective...

4k will be the upper limit for a while.


Some math...
Average Card size in 4K = 1.8GB
360 cards a year x 1.8GB = 648 gigabytes a year
if you plan for the Next 5 years, that's 3.24 terabytes needed for the Cards.
add another terabyte for the photos and videos.
So between 4.2 and 5TB should be enough storage to last the next 5 years for iStripper

For all of the Previous content up to today,
I'm using just shy of 4TB for all of the iStripper content.

An 8TB or 10TB drive should cover the past, Current and the Next 5 years

Also remember, that you should have a back up plan.
so instead of just One drive, Double up, or even get a third.
Use One, and use the other(s) for your Backups.

Je crois que j'ai une explication, suite à la lecture d'un autre fil de discussion en lien à mon problème cité plus haut.

Voir ce fil : https://www.istripper.com/fr/forum/thread/45287/1?post=675532 et la réponse de @Wyldanimal à mon problème plus haut.

Je traduis la réponse :

"En mode petit, chaque fois qu'un modèle se rapproche suffisamment du côté de l'écran, il tombera du bord et sera remplacé.

Alors oui, c'est bien une cause possible, d'une carte se terminant prématurément."

Ceci étant dit, il y a probablement d'autres causes également. Comme le clip endommagé d'une carte, qui doit être téléchargée à nouveau.

😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you Totem for the new VR show.... been waiting and cant wait to see it.... getting it after I get my reload bonuses..... Keep reloads and VR shows coming....

I have just tried the showroom on Google Chrome.
The previous settings are properly remembered, implying the problem is Edge-related.
However, even on Chrome the "SOON" banner is unreliable - sometimes there, sometimes not!

I just miss the way the girls used to be genuine an happy and a lil teasing and sometimes shy even. Like Melisa! Then her newer cards I see shes finger banging herself too an my heart just sank. It's like all the innocence of very beautiful women sultry striping on your desktop is almost gone now.. there are still SOME that capture this companys essence when it first came out but, they are far and few between..

@JayZ971
Thanks for your contribution. At least it suggests this is not a Microsoft Edge feature, although I did first notice it in July shortly after Microsoft had foisted its new Edge on me.

What can we do?
I did private-message LucazR back in July when I first noticed the issue, but he hasn't responded.

My Phone only has a built in 32GB memory with no external memory slot.
Of that 32GB, only 24GB is available, and with all my photos, I'm down to about 12GB

I do Not want to download the Girls to my phone.
especially when a single 4K card is 1.8 to 2.4 GB in size

For me, it currently is a novelty to test and see the Mobile version.
I doubt I would actually watch them on my phone, other than the testing aspect of it.

But then, I'm not attached to my phone.
I use it as a phone, for Directions, and sometimes for SMS text msgs, and taking photos.
But it's not attached me 24/7
I don't even do Social Media on it.

So I am probably not the Average Smart phone user.
I use it as a tool when I need it, i don't let it control my life.

I haven't tried another video player, but with Deo VR in Oculus Go at least, there doesn't seem to be a way to download the iStipper shows directly and permanently into the headset, only to watch them streaming. But I've discovered I can download them onto my laptop, then use the USB cable that comes with Oculus Go to copy and paste the shows into my headset. I have to open Deo VR in my headset to find the shows. There's a file directory in there and I've saved the shows in the Movies folder. This works perfectly and means there's no buffering. I'm sure it's designed to be used this way - it's just that noone tells you these things, you have to figure them out for yourself, (or read about them in posts like this).

I've bought all the real woman VR shows - I haven't really checked out the animation strip club site yet. I'm gradually downloading all the shows. I've only watched 8 of them so far - I work full-time after all and have other things to do as well. I absolutely love the shows I've seen and have fallen a little in love with all ladies I've watched. To them I say, bless you all darlings and thank you so much for your wonderful shared intimacy with us. I love you all and am looking forward to falling a little in love with all the other gorgeous women stipping in VR right in front of me, up close and very personal indeed!

And thank you very much Totem for making this possible.

I know there are some people who ***** hairy pussies but I like both hirsute and shaven.

So I thank @Totem for the recent additions to the "coming soon" list of girls with some fur, including Cara Mell (of course), Melody Clark, Clara Rene, Valentine, Jade and Sasha Meow.

👍👍👍

Yup - totally agree. It's really nice to see some bush for a change.

Variety is indeed key.

A full app would be nice. I would love to log into an app and download my purchased cards to my phone. I have a 128GB microSDXC memory card in my smartphone. An app would help me save minutes on my phone by not having to stream from your website. ☺

@gkar45

Remember the quote from the original King Kong "it was beauty that ***** the beast" thats our dream

Not only men can be the Beast 😉

OT
@gkar45

men rarely have their dreams come true unless they make/help those dreams themselves

And what about Girls? :)
OT/

@Manue If you ask me, update is not needed. The better the quality of the photo sets for every new release, the better!

With respect to fingers-and-dildos, the xxx cards have been 40% of Totem's business for several years now and I can't see why it should change. We have seen an increase in masturbation-seconds in many recent cards and stripteases that have been somewhat perfunctory, but it's still in a minority of cards and over half of the show is still stripping and dancing.

I am not so sure about that. Previously the Deskbabes (iStripperXXX classic) cards tended to have far more XXX action than we see now in iStripperXXX. Initially the change from Deskbabes to iStripperXXX resulted is a radical decrease in XXX content (which I welcomed, but others *****) and this was then followed by an increase in XXX content but to still well below that which was normal for Deskbabes. I assume the changes were driven by sales figures.

As far as webcam girls are concerned it seems that they can make more money staying at home than by appearing here, so why should they sacrifice two days plus travelling time with the associated loss of regular earnings to appear here?

Web profile? Each new follower is disproportionately valuable to cam girls. And many of them pay a lot to hosting sites, so modelling can remain attractive to them.

As for dancers, strippers and escorts, they've lost their income since lockdown, which was probably why Totem's scouting visit to Crazy Horse generated so many new faces. I'd guess a few more Paris-based girls will filter through in the coming months.

The problem is that Totem's strategy of recruiting from Ukraine and sometimes Russia or Belarus has failed, because of international travel bans. But the underlying economic differential between those countries and the West remains, so we should be back to normal when the borders reopen.

@JuicEeLM

It seems strange to me as well but it does seem to be true that girls that work as strippers, in regular clubs, do not want to appear on the internet. @Wyldanimal says that he tried to set up a website/business that promoted strippers but found the same thing as @Rex - in the main these girls seem to want to remain relatively anonymous. As a simple experiment try a web search for people who will perform as strippers as opposed to those who will do harder porn - when I tried a few years ago I found very few strippers.

As far as webcam girls are concerned it seems that they can make more money staying at home than by appearing here, so why should they sacrifice two days plus travelling time with the associated loss of regular earnings to appear here?

@Rex:
strippers won’t work with us, nor do cam-girls
But how many such girls did you ask? Are you sure they realized you were making them a serious offer from a serious company? And that it doesn't involve anything more than stripping and dancing. Sometimes it's all about how you make the presentation. Stripping and dancing should be comfortable for a stripper or camgirl, as long as they understand exactly what you are offering them. If you find a way to make that work, it can be a real game changer for you.

That's funny nowdays.. now it's all about them fingering and using dildos. Ah how I miss the OLD days of just dancing and striping :(

What is with all the new girls Totem has been bringing in not knowing how to dance or strip at all? It feels like they are just grabbing a handful of randos that literally got on stage for the very first time in their life and totem is trying to train them how to perform.. that is not sexy by any means.. I feel like I am constantly wasting my credits... The newest card out by Jade-Flirt Alert, is the worst one by far... she's extremely awkward all over the strip she tries to bend down but is scared to, scared to wiggle her butt or do any kind of movements other than tiny jerky ones... I don't understand-what are we paying for and what is it I am watching exactly now?

@Dfner Hi, it will be updated asap.

@Carstrip

an animated fire in the fireplace in "Cabin Fever"

Thank you very much my Friend 😊

Takha's new show has a photo gallery zip-file of almost 600Mb in size. Excellent quality, but probably not the version intended to be released.

It will probably be replaced with much more compressed set of photos (~50-60Mb) later, so if you want to get this larger version, better download it now. 😀

The range of cards displayed is 'stuck'. The application used to know what range of cards in each collection was last used, and applied the same range when the showroom was next invoked. Now I have always to update the range, and the new ranges (for iStripper and iStripper XXX) have to be inpu every time.

I also have to do this too. This has been going on for some time now. I'm using Firefox.

Jade, again 💖

@carstrip LOL

That was fast! I'll work on adding Winter this evening...

Happy Friday iStrippers 😉

For those who requested an animated fire in the fireplace in "Cabin Fever", I have added it to the file.

Just download the scene again

Enjoy 👍

Mine is 4856 big.

PS: Myself, Team members, and a select few other members ( QA team )
are excluded from the Hall of Fame

I have the Full set of gay.Istripper cards ( I did QA testing on them )
Plus some of the Currently being tested cards, and a few others.

So for those reasons, I have more cards in my collection than any other member.
It wouldn't be fare to include myself or the other QA team members in the Hall of Fame.

@virtuasigi

On Mac all the settings are supposed to be stored in a Preference File it has the extension .Plist
It used to be, that the file was updated Immediately.
With a new Security feature, a Temporary copy is held in a cache, and the real file is only updated when you shut down.

What you describe, is that the Preference file is not being updated with the new data.

there is a way to ***** the Cache to be updated..

https://nethack.ch/2014/03/30/quick-tip-flush-os-x-mavericks-plist-file-cache/

Seek out Member @Dorsai6
he may be able to supply you a script to do this.

@Carstrip

If anyone wishes to mess with this scene also I have no issue with that whatsoever, its a shared file for everyone to play with and improve it! I dont own it, everyone owns it lol.

I feel the same about all the scenes that I post. If anyone wants to improve them and re-share them for the good of all, I'm not going to the copyright office. 😊

If you're able to make the fire work, I'll change the outdoor scene to a winter wonderland, which would be more appropriate to go with a roaring fire. 😎

Also, if you're able to make the fire work, please respond to this thread by posting this image, which will let us know of your success:

@haruchai
Thanks for your response.
It seems I will have to dig a bit deeper to see where the showroom application picks those numbers up from.

@sh42n81

I forgot to add this to my previous post. As a variation on your ruination and haunted scenes you could try a haunted ruined hospital if you can find a suitable background image.

A duckDuckGo search for abandoned hospital images gave me a few good images. (Searching for ruined hospitals tended to find pictures of bomb damage which I would be reluctant to use)

Another interesting idea. Might be better to find a fictional ruined hospital from a dystopian scifi movie...

2. The range of cards displayed is 'stuck'. The application used to know what range of cards in each collection was last used, and applied the same range when the showroom was next invoked. Now I have always to update the range, and the new ranges (for iStripper and iStripper XXX) have to be inpu every time.

I'm using Edge too and my ranges are still saved between visits (checked again just now). Not sure what setting has changed for you but it appears to be specific to your computer not a change in the page behaviour.

@TheEmu

Given your Haunted Beuaty and Ruination scenes you might try using the fade in/out, looming and walking through walls effects that I used in

http://www.theemusnest.eu/scenes/Zips/TheEmu%20=%20Naughty%20Ghosts.zip

For these ghostly effects It is all done in the .scn files, no shaders are needed.

👍

I am going to learn a lot from you.

@ComteDracula

Merci @sh42n81, Seriez-vous capable de faire une scène dans le même style que votre maison fantôme, mais sur un bâteau fantôme, style vieux voilier à la dérive (Mary Celeste) ?

What a fun idea! That would fit nicely with both my "Ruin Porn" and my "Boat" themes. (Yes, there are more boat scenes coming. 😊) Let me see what I can find...

2 out of 3 give great peeks today and a Stella VR... yep reload time to show my support Thank you

• iStripper versions newer than 1.2.242. I also tested on 1.2.266. That version does function, but
an apparent change to the QTWebEngine within the application causes pages that have live Web
content, such as the Featured and Forum tabs, to cause an error and fail to connect.

I'm pasting this feedback from @Stanston from another thread to add a perspective on this issue:

That is Interesting, i don't have any of these Issues with 1.2.266.
The opposite is the case, this Version is running better hen ever, at least on my Setup.
The GUI is reacting now better then ever, smoother and more faster as before on 1.2.242.

Maybe ... a big Maybe i'm using the XFCE Desktop Environment which is using xfwm4 as
Windowmanager, and Budgie on your side is using Mutter.
Maybe this is causing the Issues on your side.

Hello,
I'm a longtime user of iStripper and love it !
But now I've problems after installation on my new MacBook Pro ( MacOS 10.15.6 ) - ( I already deinstalled iStripper on my older windows notebook )
1. Every time when I start iStripper I have to type in username and password ( earlier it was necessary only one time after installation )
2. All my individual settings are gone when iStripper runs. All settings were changed to the basic settings.
3. When iStripper runs, everything seems to be ok. I can change settings, I found my own collection etc. But all my setttings will not be stored.

After closing iStripper and restart again - always the same:

• type in username and password
• iStripper seems to run the very first time ( Tutorial etc ) and all settings on factoryset.

Whats going wrong ?
Greetings
Sigi

Since July 2020 I have noticed 2 inconvenient 'features' of the showroom which were not apparent before:
1. The "SOON" banner is rather variable. Sometimes it is there, sometimes not. Specifically, today it is not there for e1472, e1479, e1482.
2. The range of cards displayed is 'stuck'. The application used to know what range of cards in each collection was last used, and applied the same range when the showroom was next invoked. Now I have always to update the range, and the new ranges (for iStripper and iStripper XXX) have to be inpu every time.

Has anyone else noticed this?
Might it be a 'feature' of the new Microsoft Edge Browser? If so, are there any settings I could change such that the application returned to its previous behaviour of keeping track of my settings?

Hi guys, sorry about the delay. They should be there in a couple of hours max ; )
EDIT : The shows have been released. Have a lovely weekend with iStripper! : )

@pickle1I am using the August pre-purchase option which automatically gave me two cards today, Jade and Takha, presumably a third will appear later.EDIT: Oddly the Jade card does not appear in Celine's post showing the recently released cards.

I'm using the pre-purchase option too but i've got only Takha...
