The Use of Uniform:

In a shader it meant the Value for that Varible has already been defined.
the shader will use the value already given to that variable.

It is a way to Share variable, across the entire GLSL project.

Example: in the .SCN create a new Variable, give it a Value, and then it is Shared in the Fragment Shader to be used by one of the Math routines.


In the SCN file
This is where you Define or Create your Variable and Assign it a Type, and it's Value(s).

uniform: name, type, value(s)

uniform: WyldsZoom, float, 0.5

Here I created a new Variable and gave it the Name WyldsZoom
I defined it as a float
and gave it the value of 0.5

This new variable and value get stored in Memory.

In the Fragment Shader I would add this

uniform: WyldsZoom

That Says, Get the Variable named WyldsZoom stored in Memory

Now I can use my Variable in a math function.

instead of
x=x*0.5
y=y*0.5
where it is fixed...

I can use
x=x*WyldsZoom
y=y*WyldsZoom

and back in my .SCn file I can adjust the Value of my Variable, with out having to Edit the shader.

@Virt4B

I fully agree! ;-)

On the subject of 'Uniforms' in shader code, mentioned in a recent Tutorial stream post by @Theemu, I'm still not clear on the correct syntax for declaring Uniforms in scene files and how to declare them in their corresponding shader code lines.. still looking for examples of this.

In the latest shadertoy scenes we've received Eg:
[2TC 15] - Pheeelicks - 1 Tweet Sun.fsh
all I can find is no uniform declared in its SCN and only
'uniform sampler2D iChannel0;'
being declared in the shader code.

I know that if nothing about uniforms is declared in the SCN file
by default the shader's uniform sampler2D being = iChannel0, then
iChannel0 will be assumed by the shader to be the last listed sprite in the SCN file ie: usually a clipnamesprite (model name image).Shouldn't there be a defining statement in the SCN file though about this?
Maybe explains why my Icecave experiment FG018 with 2 textures threw an error and the thing kept playing with the last listed sprite assumed to be the uniform.

Is that correct ?? (sorry about repeating the plead-cat..directed mainly to shader boffins Emu/Wyld/lezardo/others ?)

Edit: Excellent..@Theemu supplied answer in Tutorial thread ..Thank you maestro 😄

The second series of "Experiments" that I uploaded today are a quite simple series of scenes based on using a large collection of flag images. There are scenes where the flags are used ase static or moving backdrops and scenes where they are used as screens through which you can see the performances - the example above is abnormal, most of the holes are much smaller and closer together and you can see all of the girl.

Other than the flags some of these scenes use a couple of shaders. One of the shaders is my own variation of the move2.vsh vertex shader which I have made a bit more flexible and controllable from the .scn file.

A second shader is one that can be used to punch holes in an image to create a screen though which performances can be seen. Again it is quite flexible allowing the spacing, arrangement, size, shape and orientation of the holes to be controlled from the .scn file.

I have thrown in a few scenes where the performers are only seen in silhouette before or behind a flag.

They can be obtained from via the Zips download page at TheEmusNest.eu or via the direct link

http://www.theemusnest.eu/scenes/Zips/Experiments/Flags.zip

--------------------------------------------------------------

Although I posted this a couple of days ago its still the article in this thread so I can still edit it.

I had made a silly spelling error in the perforations shader and the scene files that use it, so I have corrected it and at the same time slightly increased the flexibility of the shader. The updated version has just been uploaded. If you did take the previous version please note that the new version of the shader is incompatible with the old scene files due to changes in the definition of the "uniform" variables used to communicate between them.

I have added two "experiments" series to my website. The first, illustrated above, uses shaders to generate billowing clouds, smoke or fog.

You can get them via the Zips link on the downloads page at TheEmusNest.eu or using the direct link

http://www.theemusnest.eu/scenes/Zips/Experiments/Clouds.zip

The outfits definitely belong to the girls - I noticed te same when I saw Paula Shy's female agent video.
She brings a bag of stuff that the "agent" helps her sort through, and she has her yellow shorts among other things.

@zzmaskers: You're right. Shes hot and talented. (Laura Cox). I couldn't believe all of the 'Talented' expert comments slagging off her style. I haven't even bothered to check out if any if those, 'EXPERTS?' had produced anything.

IMHO, If you recognise talent then you should say so and share it with others. There are too many assholes on you tube. 'Trolls'. I have been informed is the correct definition for these talentless idiots.
Thanks for sharing that one buddy! :)

Ok here we go

VG PlaylistManager V 2.9.4

New Features

• new Playmode model_slideshow
  
• Clipinfo refreshes automatically also when Playlist is paused
  

Fixes

• Bugfix for Exception when Toolbox ShowInfo Dialog was used and the the last entry in the list was selected. If then another clip from a show that was already in the list would be played this would cause an exception (found by JeB1952) Reason was that i always expected to add a new item to the list but that only the case for the clip view but not for model or show view
  
• Bugfix for Exception when the Option 'only build playlist...' was used together with the option 'save filtered playlist' Also i change the logic so that if the option 'only build playlist...' is used to create a new playlist it will always save the filtered playlist as it makes no sense otherwise.
  

Other than that some more refactoring to improve the control for the functions 'next show', 'next clip', 'replay clip' etc. Also if you now use 'replay clip' when the playlist is paused it will replay the clip that is currently played but also reactivate the playlist so it will continue with the next clip once the replay it through unless you pause again.

About the new playmode:
It works quite different than all other playmodes. Its purpose is to give you an overview over the models you have in your collection. Lets say you use the full collection as input it will select randomly one clip for each model and create a playlist that only contains these clips. So if you have 18 Models the playlist also has 18 clips. You can influence which clips by using the filters. But the rest will be done random.
It will select one show randomly and one clip that matches your filters from that show.
I came up with this playmode because sometimes i stumble over models i have completely forgotten about.
This playmode should give me a quick headsup and let me decide which models i want to get to know again.

it can still be found at the website of my friend zebrazuk:

@ET: From that Vimeo link you provided:

"Process is fascinating. There is an art to the way that things are made. Oftentimes we find ourselves so enraptured by a work of art that a form of mysticism envelops the creator. In our society this has become something worth idolizing, something artists feel the need to aspire to.Well, we’re not interested in myth. We’re interested in people. In actual people who have incredible talents and the hard work they put in to achieve their results.Often this secretive artistic path is put on a pedestal. We would like to offer something different to admire: the realistic struggle through which people can create great things."

Beautiful thoughts and the video is inspiring too. I'm still working on my masterpiece ;) Thanks for that one, buddy.

Thanks @EverthangForever - but I feel a bit of a fraud for the last two scenes. Most of the work was done by others.

I've been doing a liitle catching up over the last week or so. I realy like the IceCave scene and its variants. Unfortunately the full screen fish is beyond my new graphics card but the smaller one works fine.

@MrCrowley

Really like the lift idea.

@HombreSInSombra

Had to modify my playlist to play the old Steppenwolf song for the Magic Carpet Ride. Like the swarm adaptions and also the way you have been playing with animations for the clip names.

@TheEmu

Thanks for the new shaders. Some of them are great - I'm just stuck for ideas as to where to use them. I'm having a bit of trouble with a few of them (just a black screen and/or compilation errors) and I'm trying to work out why - that's half the fun.

Thanks also to all who have contributed to the scenes either with their own scenes, shaders, artwork, etc.

INTHECRACK is awesome, I love the super close-ups. I know its not everyone's cup of tea, but I personally enjoy counting the tiny hairs on a girl's butthole. Totem already does this with some of their photosets. You know the old saying, once you go in the crack, you don't go back. 😛

totem what would you guys think of charging the winner of the random draw for the outfits half the shipping if they cant come up with the credits then skip to the next name on the list that way this is still somthing for your long term high rollers!!

zzmaskers http://www.virtuagirl.com/userProfile.php?usLogin=v13990522-hmm.. There's a bunch of female guitarists in the same YouTube stream with Laura Cox... Some good talent there that I never knew about until now. Thank you z. Good listening!

Yeah, maybe that's it.

As far as I know.........

Nope......
No partnership with ITC.

Perhaps the outfits belong to the girls.

Hallo Gentlemen,

Also interesting Laura Cox with a new version of a old song of The Free:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZPmfclGXOQ

Music is like the models of Virtuagirl a matter of taste. And you can not argue about taste.
And this one of The Rolling Stones 2120 South Michigan Avenue I like very much as background music for the faster striptease performances:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAH1czGE-fw
It is recorded in the Chess Studio's in Chicago in 1965.

For a more sultry mood another one of The Rolling Stones The Spyder and The Fly:

And

• Elvis Presley ***** Love
• Joe Cocker All songs on Mad Dogs ans Englishmen

About Candy Dulfer: she is the ***** of famous saxofonist Hans Dulfer both from Amsterdam. :

The Totem has or had any partnership with INTHECRACK site? Because some models use the same outfit both here and there. For example: Lola in "Candy Party", Melisa (Lexa) in "Buttercup," Bailey Ryder in "Legs for Days", Angelina ***** in "Bachelorette".

I have managed a couple of new scenes over the last few weeks.These are a couple more Fractal Scenes and I have added them to the existing zip file at

scenes.virtuastripper.net/No.6_Fracedelic_Scenes.zip

The first one uses the Fractal Plasma Shader that @Wyldanimal adapted and commented and which I have edited slightly to reduce the GPU load (with 5 shows and the shader even my new graphics card was grumbling a little bit). I also slowed it down a little bit to match the 5 pole dance carousel (@TheEmu formulated the basic scene structure in one of his experiment with carousels and @Yidincrete modifed this for a club scene). I used the majority of that code and adapted it to use the Fractal Discs that I created for some of my other scenes. Again thanks to @Lunarpup for some of those Fractal Images.

The second new scene uses the original Shader Toy Fractal Lines which I adapted as per @TheEMus general instuctions and I slowed it down slightly to match the carousel rotation. The code for the 4 Cage carousel is more or less as @TheEmu's original, again adapted to use my existing Fractal Disc images.

Apologies for having to download the entire file again, but as the new scenes use some of the existing files it was the easiest way to do it.When installing the new one, it may be simpler to delete the original No.6 Fracedelic Scenes Folder (unless you have done any custom mods to them).

I think the same way @szalka. Natalie is one sexy girl, I do like her cards.

Thanks, Buzzy... future features are rarely documented for new users. Too much info too soon. Thanks for the heads up. I might need that information one day. Maybe, if I can stay out of trouble and don't succumb to my frustrations before then.

I have another trick that new users cruising the forums might be unaware of.

One user mentioned a frustration (I have become a knocking post) as follows: I have to press the page advance button repeatedly 17 times....

There is a non-documented quick method - a feature that is not readily apparent to some. At the bottom of all pages of a multi-page thread topic, you will see the display shown in the attached pic, a short-list of all available pages in the current thread. You can either select a visible page number from the list [previous,1,2,3,(blank),98,99,next] of pages available, or type your choice directly into the empty box in the middle. A thread with only one page doesn't display this string of index pages.

on the subject of Reading the TOS/EULA....

Many users enter the forums over the course of a year, some stay and participate, others only want to know why a feature they liked is now missing after a recent upgrade that they thought was required and installed it blindly.

If a user has never entered the forums in the past, and only cums here to find a simple answer, I wouldn't necessarily expect them to spend a week reading the rules before posting their question.

Moderators here often jump on the new user as if they are EXPECTED to do so. It seems to me that the moderators are subject to more frustration than the average user - perhaps more so than a habitual user.

Imho, a note about the moderators and their function here (and their authority) should be the first thing in a new users face when they enter the forums for the first time. THEN a note about reading the TOS/EULA should follow. Priorities. imho.

I learned this in a PM from another user: The Aika May that you saw is a fan sign . . anyone can try to get one by posting text desired in a current fan sign competition if they draw your name.

La première image montre le côté intéractif ont vois le modèle - (nouvelle collection)

la seconde image le modèle est grisée - (ancienne collection)

est aussi merci à nana, oui les shows marqué interactive font partie de la nouvelle collection.
ce que veux dire nana c'est que la collection intéractive a une nouvelle numérotation.

nana08 je n'ai rien compris, désolé..

@alerte : ah oui, quand on déplace le modèle on le voit comme accroché à une barre la.. Lol !

bonjour @thechattmen
d après ce que j ai compris dans une demande que j avais faite
en fait les collections marqué INTERACTIVE, sont les nouvelles collections et le compteur des nouveaux shows est repartie a zéro.

oui, ce sont les petites animations qui ont été ajouté quant ont déplace les modéles sur l'écran, elles bougent dans les version interactive, et elle ne bougent pas dans les anciennes version.

je te prepare une image ;-)

Bonjour @karotrape

excuse j'ai complétement raté ton sujet, est ce que par hasard tu te souviendrai des noms des deux shows et la date la plus précise possible de leur achat ?

je ne te promet rien, mais envois moi par courrier le plus de speudo tu a utiliser, je ferai une recherche voir si je retrouve un recoupement.

http://www.virtuagirl.com/userProfile.php?usLogin=alerte



je t'envois aussi ce message par courrier.

Oula, la prog pas trop mon truc moi, mais j'irais faire un tour quand même merci !!

Dernière question est-ce que tu saurais m'en dire plus sur "VirtuaGirls Interactive/DeskBabes Interactive" ?

member84392371 http://www.virtuagirl.com/userProfile.php?usLogin=v8357702
not yet :(

Bonjour @thechattmen
de rien et ton service.

pour les démos, je ne sais pas trop, il me semble que maintenant ont peut les voir, mais je ne suis pas sur, un utilisateur, @Franckyt13, propose d'ailleur un ADD en français, mais je n'ai pas eu le temps de le tester, peut être qu'il permet de lire les démos, voici le lien.

http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?foId=3&ftId=29881&gotolastpage=1#post466162

pour le fond d'écran tu a plusieurs possibilités, si tu double clic sur la ligne Penthouse Club tu aura un choix possible et si tu programme un peu, ont peut même les modifiers, mais je te conseil de faire des copies avant. voici un lien avec des exemples.

http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?&foId=8&ftId=27410&pageNb=1

je te conseil d'aller voir, il y a plein d'exemple.

amuse toi bien.

Merci bien !! En ayant séléctionné "tous les clips" dans la durée d'un show et avec un seule carte activée, c'est bien plus long :)

Sinon je voulais savoir; les démos on peut les accumuler et les conserver ou bien ca périme tout seul...?

Dernière question : comment marche le fond d'écran acif ? C'est à dire quand on met le Penthouse Club en fond par exemple.. Car j'ai remarqué, soit j'ai le modèle seul en petit, soit le modèle en grand mais avec forcément deux autres modèles derrière (en plus selon comment le modèle en grand se déplace, il peut y avoir un bras, une jambe de coupé lol)

Merci beaucoup de vos réponses et de votre accueil ! :)

I'm not fan to 'note' models for you know it appears global nonsense to me and I do feel it somewhat displaced, too. But got the main purpose of this thread is to sortof tribute pay to the ladies we got a special crush for, and ozbomber kinda convinced me, so.

Allow me first to say that Virtua Girl made me discover in a very special way, proof-in-hand I'd say, the very diverse variety in which female beauty comes out (variety of hair color, eyes color, morphology, height, skin tone...) as well as the extremely hugely large sample base we got pretty nearby here in Europe if I can put it this way, which I really didn't prior suspected !
It's kinda a priviledge to be able to witness this in such a practical and personal way (well, with software versions that work properly, that is) to accompany our computer environments.

Now, to answer ozbomber's question, based in the first place in what the girls show in their cards :

3pts (apart category) :
Nikky Case

2pts (special category) :
Lucynova
Blue Angel
Lola Taylor
Colette (DB)
Alyssia
Kathy Moore
Lea Tyron
Candy Sweet
Saraliz
Celina (DB)
Tracy Gold
Sandra H
Heaven

At least, to me. But 'knock-knock' it's amazing how many models would continue this '2pts' list (Isizzu-Eliska(this girl is crazy :)-Nesty-Naomi Nevena-Silver-Sabrisse-Coxy-Alice Saint-Dandelion-Mandy Dee-Lada Love-Dorothy Bank-Mina-...).
Please notice also this answer may be prone to change abit with time for the carrousel continues to make me discover new models I didn't know before !

@tPalmer

Non of your girls have any sound .. does it mean deskbabes or .. VG's shows without a music?

I assume it's all about the music, 'cause you have only one DB card - MS.Lynna solo. So you must add some music on your own, if you'd like to listen .. 'cause VG cards come absolutely with no sound.

.. and welcome to the Forum.

some of the early shows were without sound tPalmer ,it was before totem had the technology to do it ,i cant remeber which was the first with sound but it would have been about the time jana cova did her deskbabes shoot :)

None of my girls have any sound, do they come with sound, do any of them?
