The Emu, Mr. Crowley and Everthang... crushing it! Thanks so much for your fabulous latest greatest dream scenes.

Nice! You can tell, even Merry's demo clips that she's a fun girl. Thanks for sharing this :D

Just doing some youtube surfing and came across this gem.

Great find :D

@TheEmu

Thanks for the response. I have done some very limited testing but it appears that the culprit is the Data Panel when it is permanently on (why I am not sure).

Your earlier scenes and the ones I have done didn't use the data panel and they (based on a few random samples) all work OK. Also your Box and Room scenes where the Data panel fades in and out also appear to work fine.

As a test, I picked a couple of your scenes at random including an iterated one. If I set Data panel to 0 in these they work fine.

Rather than have different versions of your shader which I will probably forget to update at some point I'll just disable the data panel in my scenes (I'll set it to zero so people with a better graphics card than mine can enable it if they want to).

I haven't seen any noticeable problems with the shader loading. The delayed start is throwing me a bit - I keep thinking it is broken. I'll get used to eventually.

Thanks for your efforts - the rooms and the boxes are brilliant. Once I have a bit of time I shall definitely be having a play with them.

No paper trail, huh ?

Slightly paranoid ?
Dirty little secret ?

Just a thought......
Maybe a P.O. box could be an option for things people don't want being delivered to their home or office.
I keep one in a near by small town myself. Of course, they require $$$ as well.

I think you need to make an effort all on your own to visit the sites and Read them and ge the answers

I did. From the Amex site:

Register online to get one of our new Prepaid Debit Cards in the mail for free

From the Secure.Serve site:

Registering for a Personalized card will give you full access to Serve's features. We'll move any remaining balance on your Temporary Card to your account.

If the card is personalized, with the name, then they have to mail it. These options may work for some, but registration = paper trail and that's a problem for some.

It's more than likely a stock image from VirtugirlLive, supplied for marketing purposes... as to who... possibly a live model...

Thanks Celine!

Exactly : Deactivate all your card except her, play progressive hotness and set to all clips.
Once all deacticated except the card you want, you can save it as a playlist :)

Hello all, I'm curious to know who the Virtuagirl model is from the Virtuagirl Live ad, with the purple/reddish hair, the leopard print top, and the unbuttoned jeans. Interested in buying her cards but I can't find her in the collections and was curious if she was an actual Virtuagirl since they always use their own models in their advertisements. Thank you.

you know .. I have always been watching VG randomly. But I have jusr realised that I sometimes want to watch full show of a girl. How do I do it? Do I disable all but THIS card and watch it in progressive hotness? But I want to watch ALL clips .. do I have to putshow duration to all clips? Please tell me the way to watch full show, ALL clips starting from no nudity to the hottest stuff.

Help friends, please

@Number6

Does the stuttering only occur on iterated functions (series H, I, J and K) or is it more general? Iterating the functions requires much more work as each function has to be evaluated up to 6 or 16 times depending on which series the scene belongs to. If it is just the iterated functions then you can reduce the maximum iteration depth in the .scn files, though that could entail changing a lot of .scn files. I may add an optional #define to the shader that users can tweak to limit the maximum iteration depth if they encounter stuttering.

@petevg
I think you need to make an effort all on your own to visit the sites and Read them and ge the answers

It's my understanding that when you buy the Amex card you get a temporary card and the real card is mailed to your home. Like someone else mentioned, I'd prefer not to have a paper trail. I take register to mean that I'm giving out my address, and creating a paper trail. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok I just bought some creits just like Celine that way. Here at VG site. with pre pay cards.

Yes, but not at the cost of remastering the VG cards.

8th Oct
Updated both Go1 & Go2 versions AGAIN of the BoyC TheCave shader mod as a Series E
Labyrinth.
Made several major settings changes, nb: // comments. In one example the same random Sampler2D texture using same shader have been placed at separate distances around zero z pos in the SCN to
attempt to amelliorate distance pixel-averaging sparklies.

All is backwardly compatible, thus pls allow replacement of all files during extract,
Old shaders are archived. Remix & have fun with it. Thanks a lot. Zipfile = 8.56 MB

Has there ever been any talk of Deskbabes getting any remastered cards?

I would be very interested in older cards getting 3K remasters and maybe audio balancing as well. I understand there would be a limitation on the cards that could be remastered, but there are some really great cards that would benefit from updating. I don't know why only Virtuagirl cards get 3K updates, maybe Deskbabes is unpopular?

Since duos are going away it would be nice for atleast some of them to be remastered to 3K. These remastered cards wouldn't ***** from the problem of having to pay for two models for one card as well as scheduling conflicts.

I am working out the Buffalo area this week and around San Antonio middle of next month (if all goes according to plan) I'll have to hop across the border and see about picking up a pre-paid there to see if it works. I'll keep you posted.
Wallmart Canada will ship to the US. But you really have to watch the exchange and shipping. Has anybody already tried this? Buying a prepaid outside the US? You'd be saving me a toll and day in a foreign nation.

There are Prepaid International Cards.
But you Have to Register them.

So Unlike a Gift card that has complete Anonymity, ( and the reason for the Money Laundering issues the Laws have been in place since 2012, but are now strickly enforced.)
you can't hide the money used by them, because you have to register it to your Person.
and that money can be tracked to you.

You just can't get these by going to a Walmart..
you get them from a bank or On-line financial institution.

Like the American Express card I mentioned.

NO Credit Check • NO Minimum Balance • NO Hidden Fees

you can Load money on the card with CASH at over 25,000 locations worldwide
the card is International

www.americanexpress.com/us/content/prepaid/reloadable-cards.html#add-cash s

No Hidden fees, Here are the Fees $1 a month. 2.7% International charge.
Some vendors will charge 3.95% for a reload fee. but many are free...
Walmart for example..

serve.com/direct-deposit-prepaid-card/?Solid=4amex&extlink=us-serve-marketing-amex-bluelearn s

then you can use this card at any one of the 3rd party billers for VG.

don't like American Express.
Then Get a Prepaid Visa Card ( these are not Gift cards ) it a Visa Card Registered in your name.
So it can be used internationally.

usa.visa.com/pay-with-visa/cards/card-finder/prepaid-finder-page.html s

So Know the Differance between the cards you Pick up at a store and DON'T Register to your name.
That's an anonymous GIFT card and has restrictions to it's use.

and then Cards Like i have here, that are Prepaid refillable cards Registered to you, and can be used for international transactions.

Thank you, celine, for your update on the situation; that's pretty much the answer I was expecting due to what I've read on these forums and elsewhere on the internet.

I am curious about what the issues would be with having a biller based in the ​US, as that seems, to me, to be the ideal solution. However, I have next to noknowledge on how something like that works or is set up or any other complications, be it legal, financial, technical, or what have you.

As it is, I will be unable to purchase credits unless a way comes about to either pay with a Visa Prepaid (which I requently recieve as gifts), or to extract the cash from one to add to some sort of international-use card (which seems far from likely). Drawing from my bank account in any way is not viable as the Misses​ watches it closely, and that's a whole other discussion.

@mrcrowley06.

Very nice.

@TheEmu

I have been playing with your revised Complex Function Shader on and off for the last couple of days but I am getting some stuttering on the models video with some of your scenes. Strange thing is that it isn't all of them - just some of them. Also if I copy the shader to my scenes folder and run my earlier Complex Shader scenes it also seems to work OK.

I'll try your suggestion of using the "shortened" version of shader over the weekend and see if this improves it.

@radyforanything
I'm glad that I helped you

bon anniversaire à Lou Charmelle
qui fête ses 32 ans aujourd'hui

They were worth the wait 😊

Nice !! Thanks for the reply @frae 😄

Just wait a little bit more :) Cards will be available in few hours

Hello,

As said in the title, some Deskbabes cards are planned today? Because we have no information about it. A little delay may be ????

I confess, I'm pretty impatient to see the new shows of Marina Visconti.

Thank you in advance.

-------------------------
Bonjour,

Comme dit dans le titre, des cartes Deskabes sont prévues aujourd'hui? Car nous n'avons pas d'informations à ce sujet. Un peu de retard peut être???

Je confesse, je suis assez impatient de voir les nouveaux shows de Marina Visconti.

Merci d'avance.

Note, that it is not just prepaid cards that seem to be restricted as I couldn't use either a debit or credit card issued by my bank.

Would be amazing.

Here is Epoch reply to your issue with debit cards :

Hello Celine, We have investigated and it appears that certain prepaid card issuers are now enforcing their policy of not allowing their cards to be used internationally. Regards,AlanEpoch Support

For me personally, I use either a separate credit card with a small limit on it, so that my exposure is limited.

The alternative for me is to used PayPal and then I can nominate to PayPal which card is to be used behind the scenes and the supplier is none the wiser.

I have no issue with how the transaction displays upon my Visa ststements, but perhaps that is the real iss for some?

Wyldanimal,

you need to set up direct transfers from your Bank Account.

I appreciate your suggestions, but the issue is I am not willing to use my Bank Account, either via direct transfers or via a credit card linked to my account. I have used prepaid gift cards for years, now they don't work because the laws have changed and the billers are all outside the US. Paypal could be an option for me but it seems to work for some and not for others.

I've always paid either with my PayPal debit card or with PayPal directly. So this has never been an issue for me.

Here is another Option from American Express.
https://www.americanexpress.com/us/content/prepaid/reloadable-cards.html

I read the fine print and it is Good anywhere American Express cards are accepted World Wide.

American Express Serve© Accounts available to U.S. residents who are over 18 years old only (or 19 in certain states) and for use virtually anywhere American Express© Cards are accepted worldwide, subject to verification. Fees apply. Other eligibility and restrictions apply. See the American Express Serve Consumer User Agreement for details.

I have also used pre-paid cards and am having the same problem, apparently it's related to a US restriction.
...
Wyldanimal made a good suggestion but I would have the same problem purchasing that card as I have purchasing credits directly.

That's the reason I posted that you need to set up direct transfers from your Bank Account.
No International issues with that.
I had no problems setting this up, and Only the Funds Put on the Virtual Visa are exposed to the On-line transaction.

Your Virtual Card is limited to just the funds already on the card.
So if you tried to make a Purchase that exceeded the funds, it would be declined.

They Won't tap into your account to try and cover a purchase that exceeds the funds placed in the Virtual Visa.

That makes it a Win Win for me.

The Only exposure to a possible on-line billing scam is the Funds I have in the card.
And if the Virtual card number is compromised, it's discarded, and a new number gets issued.

The Only Issue I can see some members having, is the Direct Bank account transfers.
But heck, I have to do the same to use Paypal, and Google.

So I went to my Local Credit Union.
open an Account. ( Have to Keep $5.00 in it )
No Fee's no Monthly charges.

I use this Account for all my On-line purchase.
I move money into it electronically.
then move the money from there to my Virtual Visa card.

That Gives me Almost Zero Exposure.

Anyone Making On-line Purchases would be Smart to look into doing something Similar.

I have also used pre-paid cards and am having the same problem, apparently it's related to a US restriction.

Celine, unless Epoch has a subsidiary in the US, they can't fix this problem. It seems that you have some long time members ready to walk away over this. The best solution I see is for VG to work with a billing company in the US, but I am open to other idea's. Wyldanimal made a good suggestion but I would have the same problem purchasing that card as I have purchasing credits directly.

(Below is a copy of the post I just made in the OTHER "debit card problems" thread)

This may be getting ***** for some members, so....

1. PRE-PAID debit cards appear to be the problem, even if they are backed by a major credit card company like VISA or Mastercard. Those are subject to be used for "money laundering". U.S. purchased PRE-PAID debit cards have been monitored and rejected for overseas purchases for quite a while now, depending on where you may be trying to use them for Internet purchases.

2. Debit cards associated with an existing BANK ACCOUNT don't seem to be a problem for VGHD token purchases. I've made token purchases with my VISA debit card associated with my bank checking account with no issues. Just made another $50 token purchase today with it (I used the CCBILL EU selection in the VG GUI). Although it may be up to an individual bank's policies about their allowed debit card transactions, as my bank does require a "pre-approval confirmation" from me for some overseas purchases (like a file hosting site) before they will process it (may require a phone call to my bank first). But I have had no issues with VG token purchases with my bank's VISA debit card.

odd , never had a problem with my visa . . .

@Hey Hombre
when I was playing around with the Ghosts scene using NeighbourLessThan and Devil Inside frag shaders with framebuffer variations of @Lezardo's antiAlias, Bright, Blur and Screen shaders, I swear the WET effect WAS there for a moment ~before I irretrievably lost it. Gasp ;->>. Perhaps you can recover a combination of shader's transparencies to work as wet. Problem with applying static texture overlays is, it appears to be a real hassel (impossible maybe) to totally vanish the square texture's edges when they overlay a moving shader background. Tried over/underlays doing masks for extended leg reflections ~and no real seamless joy there if a shader is running underneath... If you can successfully get the ghost shaders &/or Lezardo's shaders to work as diaphanous overlays just enough for the model looking wet, then thats gonna be progress. As you say, you might need to run a combination of several superimposed clipsprites each with its own transparency and shader allocated.
Definitely worth a try :-)

Indeed, I have also tried both program and website on each biller, and was declined on two prepaid Visas. Both have adequate funds, and one of which was used previously to buy credits with no issues.

@MrC: I've also been a little negligent of my scene making duties :( I'm studying up on the latest stuff and still have my eye on what's going on around here ;) Another nice addition to the portfolio for the rest of us to enjoy :D

@ET: Hmmm... In the Anna Tatu and Jessie Jazz re-mastering thread, you mentioned a 'wetskin' filter? Let me see what I can do with that. I don't mean a software filter as such but I'm thinking along the lines of a transparent image/texture. I can do fog or mist easily enough to overlay the clips. Maybe I can find something that gives the impression of a 'wetlook' to our babes...

Edit: This is probably going to take a shader to look realistic and may have to be placed to run with each clip individually. Not giving up yet tho ...

@mrcrowley06
Like your Pole Stage SCN on Share. Really nice effect with the dipole ladies arching in the background... pls do more scenes.

Thank you for going ahead and changing your avatar LeBigBen. I appreciate that.

OK.......
Moving on
Back on topic
Please

Very very good evening (or morning - that's optional) for everyone!
Seems like it's been a while since I was here for the last time! Lot of a new good stuff))))
I just made one more scene called "Pole Stage". Hope you will like it ;)
It's based on Shades by Wyld Animal and Fracedelic Scenes by No.6
