I remember when Anna Tatu's cards were being released, the top model surveys were going in full swing and she was receiving top ratings after the first 6 cards everywhere. There is a big gap in her card production numbers between body language 1037 and instinct 1549 reflecting the time of the change of cameras. The makeup lighting and costuming in the interim had also became much more classy and elegant & less heavy-sombre. I like to think she was a come-back. It gives me hope she can be coaxed back sometime. I hope all the baying for DB didn't put her off :-(

The subscription is the only reason why i have as many of the cards i do have. Since the subscriptions have stopped i have bought very few cards, in fact just one in about 6 months and that was a DB card. I have credits but no cards have come in that i find interesting enough to purchase since they cost so much now then before.

Cameron Dee is a fitting example, even though only at 3 cards now. She had two cards released 1DB and 1VG and we wanted more, but the next card didn't come for 7 weeks. I was excited to see her again, the longer wait had built anticipation perhaps. I don't know, but I know it's better than being oversaturated with one model too much over a short period of time. I have no problem with returning models just spread the love over more time :D

Are the release schedules just a victum of the business side?

3K all day for me.

I think it would be better for Totem if they'd shoot several scenes with a girl but don't sell them all at the same time but rather get the release order a bit mixed up. Things would get more interesting and the joy of seeing a girl again would be much higher. Just my thoughts though, but after all I've red in the forums, I'm not the only one. Not claiming to speak for the majority, though.

Pour la 3k est quand même meilleur, même si j'ai pas une grosse configuration AMD 4000+ 2,41Ghz et 3 Go de Ram (Tourne encore sous Windows XP service Pack 3). Bien sur je lance qu'une seule fille sinon cela rame trop

PS: Pour les fps, se sont des données techniques pour les téléviseurs que j'ai indiqué. Un moniteur dépasse sans problème les 60 fps.

Ah oui pour ce qui est de la puissance qu'utilise l'application, processeur et carte graphique.

L'application n'utilise pas la carte graphique mais suelement le processeur et la mémoire vive de la carte mère.
Donc en vue de mes tests, je recommande un processeur 4 coeurs minimum (à partir d'un intel i3/i5 toute génération confondu) et 4 Go de mémoire vive dans votre système.

Pourquoi ce minimum ?

Je suis équipé d'un processeur de la 5ème génération intel, un I7-5960X à 3GHz boosté à 4GHz pour le moment. Et lorsque je vois mon processeur tourner à 6% de sa puissance sachant qu'il y a quand même 16 coeurs et qu'1 à 2% est utiliser par défaut pour le système et le navigateur, ainsi qu'un core aléatoire qui monte jusqu'à 50%.

J'en conclu qu'un processeur à 2 coeurs est insuffisant, et qu'un minimum à partir du i3/i5 (4 coeurs) est nécessaire.
Pour la mémoire, 4 Go est le minimlum recommandé pour utiliser windows 7 et les applications sachant qu'après un test rapide sur l'une des dernières cartes en 3k les clips prennent entre 150 et 300 Mo. Donc au pire des cas assurez-vous d'avoir un minimum de 500 Mo resatnt pour VG.

Personnellement, je préfère le 3k. Bien que je n'ai pas d'écran en 3k, ces cartes offres une qualité bien plus supérieur que le 1080p et je ne parle pas du 720p qui est en qualité désastreuse. De plus grace à la 3k, je n'ai pas besoin de zommer comme un dingue pour que les filles occupent tout 'écran lorsqu'elles sont debout. J'utilise mon écran au bout de mon lit donc plus elles occupent l'écran mieux c'est.

Concernant la 3k avec VG, à voir certe la taille d'une carte est importante mais sachant que les fps sont réduite à en juger sur le rendu de lecture, surtout facile à voir lorsque les filles bougent rapidement.

Pourquoi dis-je une telle chose ?
A savoir que le standard vidéo en HD (720/1080p) est aux alentours de 24 fps (entre 23 et 25 fps), et ceci n'est pas une limite technique d'écran puisque nos écrans en 1080p peuvent supporter entre 30 et 40 fps voir plus pour les derniers modèle haut de gamme.
Concernant l'UHD (3k/4k/8k), ce standrad est en rendu 60 fps. Hormis le bitrate vidéo qui change beaucoup la qualité ce qui a pour effet de flouter ou de pixéliser l'image sur la réduction du bitrate. Le fps, trop bas, a un effet de saccade et malheureusement certaines personnes vois cette saccades et j'en fais partie. Et j'ai quelques vidéos en 60 fps pour faire cette comparaison visuelle.
Pour ce qui est du rendu bitrate vidéo, celui pour le 1080p est en moyenne aux alentours de 12-13 Mbps et pour le 720p de 5-6Mbps.

Donc je suis certains que la qualité vidéo ne respect pas se standard. Mais il met difficile de pouvoir donner une vague idée vis à vis de la taille par rapport à la résolution car se sont des vidéos bien spécial.

Bien dommage de ne pas avoir les données techniques des vidéos pour les connaisseurs.


En vue de toutes ces informations merci de ne pas vous acharnez contre Totem sur la taille des cartes car elles sont bien en dessous de leurs tailles véritables, probablement qu'elle soient 2 fois moins importantes qu'initialement.



Cordialement
Taion, emmerdeur de première sur la qulité vidéo....

I could ***** about the monotony of repeating models, but since I no longer have a subscription, I won't. I just don't buy cards if I don't think I will like them. For instance, I'm not a buyer of Viola's cards.

"TOTEM needs to make money to survive. We need to purchase cards in order for them to do this. Sometimes it is difficult to find a balance. " Yes, well said Number6.

It's interesting: the quality of the cards is higher overall, the price is certainly higher...but I spend much less money here now that I don't have a subscription than when I did.

J'utilise du 720p sur mon pc portable et du 1080p sur mon pc fixe mais c'est quand même bien d'avoir des cartes en 3K pour l'avenir. Je pourrais mettre du 1080p sur mon pc portable mais je ne vois pas l'intérêt, sur cet écran je ne vois pas la différence (1366x768).

@Franckyt13 les vidéos des cartes 3K peuvent désormais être téléchargées en 1080p il me semble :-) je trouve que cela s'est bien amélioré. À moins que tu ne parles de la qualité intrinséque de la vidéo ?

Pour ma part, je télécharge la totalité des photos et vidéos que je place sur un HDD externe, le principal intérêt est d'y avoir accès hors connexion.
Quant au choix des cartes, je me base essentiellement sur les photos gratuites, je télécharge que très rarement des démos.

EDIT: une petite erreur sur la question du sondage "Vous téléchargez ? (You DOWNLOAD ?)" mais ça va on se comprend 😉

I agree with Phlebiac - too many repeats.
I also think that the variety in outfits has reduced.
I am like Apasas, I like attractive girls in outfits that appeal. And I also purchase 50 credits to be spent when I am attracted to a new card.
I think Anna Tatu's popularity is well deserved; she is very attractive and a good performer, but the vriety of outfits in her cards is poor.
There has been a significant increase in 'Naked Feet', and a decline in 'High Heels' and 'Stockings'. For me, this is disappointing. I will buy any card with a passably attractive girl in stockings and heels. My fetish. It is a trap I always fall into, and I can be very disappointed (Maya Grand), but give me an open face, a radiant smile, long blonde hair, and a great bottom framed by suspender belt and sheer stockings and I'm hooked.
Maybe I have unusual tastes , as some of the girls I like are not repeated - e.g. Heidi Romanova.
I have nothing against Melisa or Tracy Smile, but why not Antonia, Aleska Diamond, Isizzu?
Many of my favourites have probably left the business now, or are aging - Jana H, Nikky Case, Ellen, Sandra H. Tempus fugit.

We all have different proclivities.

@Number6
I had to try your adaptation of 'TheRoadTo Hell_No.6.fsh' with const int ray_n=96;
Good GOD... the WHOLE thing lights up... its Amazing !!!!

I have Marta sexy upskrit.

@Phebiac's thread at Same Girls http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?foId=3&ftId=30992 is as good place as any, to post more re opinions Best Sellers vs Variety.

Personnellement, je regarde les photos gratuites avant d'acheter un modèle pour me faire une idée mais même si j'achète le modèle, je ne télécharge pas les photos et les videos. Au début, je téléchargeais les videos mais je ne les trouvais pas de bonne qualitée.

Je lance un petit sondage sur les photos et vidéos des modèles.
Car à titre personnel je télécharge les photos et les vidéos de chaque modèle que je stocke sur mon serveur.

Et vous est-ce que vous téléchargez les photos et vidéos de tous les modèles de votre collection ? 😄

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

I run a small survey in the photos and videos of models.
Because personally I upload photos and videos of each model I store on my server.

And you do you download photos and videos of all models in your collection? 😄

Après plusieurs tests, j'ai pu constater les choses suivantes :

• Le 720p manque de qualité et tient tout de même pas mal de place.
• Le 1080p a une qualité excellente et surtout la lecture est très fluide quel que soit l'ordinateur. La capacité demandée pour le stockage n'est pas excessive comparée à la qualité (proportionnellement au 720p elle ne tient pas beaucoup plus de place pour un gain de résolution impressionnant).
• Le 3K est de très bonne qualité mais il faut vraiment un très bon ordinateur capable de suivre le rythme (heureusement que j'en possède un). Mais j'ai constaté un manque de fluidité dommageable sur les PC standards. De plus chaque modèle tient énormément de place si l'on compare aux deux autres qualités...

J'aimerai donc avoir votre avis sur la résolution que vous avez choisi et pourquoi ?
Ceci afin de confronter les avis de chacun et voir si beaucoup de personnes utilisent le 3K...

A titre personnel :
Toutes mes anciennes cartes sont restées en qualité inchangées, mais elles sont belles quand même 😄
Pour tous les nouveaux modèles ou ceux mis à jour, j'ai opté pour la qualité 1080p qui me semble concilier qualité et espace de stockage pour les ordinateurs actuels.

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

After several tests, I observed the following:

• The lack of quality 720p and holds still not a lot of room.
• The 1080p has an excellent quality and especially the reading is very fluid regardless of the computer. The capacity required for storage is not excessive compared to quality (in proportion to 720p it does not take much space to an impressive resolution gain).
• The 3K is very good but you really need a good computer that can keep up (luckily I has one). But I found a lack of fluidity damaging on standard PC. In addition, each model takes a lot of space when compared to the other two qualities ...

So I'd like to have your opinion on the resolution you choose and why?
This is to confront the opinions of each and see if many people use the 3K ...

Personally :
All my old cards remained unchanged in quality, but they are beautiful anyway 😄
For all those new models or upgraded, I opted for the 1080p quality that seems reconcile quality and storage space for current computers.

I don't thinl Phlebiac is asking that you change all the girls released. He is simple requesting that you mix a new face in once a week or maybe have a throw back from the past come to revist!!! http://www.virtuagirl.com/userProfile.php?usLogin=v11730569

@fallen0ne , don`t give ideas to Totem ;-).

Thanks guys for previews

I like this upskirts with Kelly Black. I also like the fishnets.

bon anniversaire à Dominno
qui fête ses 31 ans aujourd'hui

OK, as stated by 91Hebasu, recent responses have really nothing to do about this topic.

If you want to make a point (politely of course) can I suggest a new topic with a heading that indicates that you want new & fresher girls, not repeats of existing models.

People can then post their comments there and it would be easier for Totem to guage the level onf angst or interest?

Well said Number6

@EverthangForever

Sorry forgot to add the fact that I originally said the quadrant is expanding and contracting. This is incorrect. What would be the tunnel centre is moving left to to right and back again - it just gives the appearance of expansion and contraction. This also ties in with what I remember of the shader on GSL Sandbox. - Goodnight for now :-)

No worries sleep well my friend. Scared me off going Win10 though ...thats for sure...lol 😉

@EverthangForever

Tried specifying dome6b.png from your images directory as the texture. Exactly the same as the screen caps - background black for the whole scene except for the upper right hand quadrant expanding and contracting as per the original screenshot.

Also set the texture to look only in the images folder without specifying a particular texture (i.e. pick a random texture from the folder) with same result - black background except for the upper right quadrant.

Having been out for a lot of drinks and a Thai meal I am having difficullty with English let alone screen and shader protocols :-) Any further testing is going to have to wait until I have slept and sobered up a bit. Thanks for your efforts and assistance.

OMG thats why I held off upgrading Windows...because of the shaders ( and I ***** their nagware in the taskbar).
I think you are probably correct.. however you can see only the bit where the shader's mounting quad is in any system. It still looks like the shader is all there ...just its quad is not aligned...I say this because on my rig, the vortex of this shader running moves from left to right and back again continuously. Its hard to say from your caps whether that is happening in the part you can see...if by moment of capture it could look like the whole shader portion with its vortex projection is being moved left....hmmm which would appear to support your idea inspite of whats happening. Can you colour and make opaque the transparency sprite and tell me if it fills the screen ?
Where is our flightless bird I wonder ?

@EverthangForever

I have a 2D Camera Scene set up for testing shaders. This works with almost all shaders provided they will work on my GPU. I use it for all @TheEmus and your shaders (plus any I may download) to try them out on a very basic set up.

I have tried putting your shader into this and I get the same problem which leads me to believe it is a problem with the AMD graphics card/shader interpretation.

I am definitely only getting only the first quadrant of the tunnel if you look closely at the original screen cap I posted (I hadn't noticed this until I looked closely). It looks like the shader isn't wrapping the full 360°.

@HombreSinSombra has been reporting some problems with his NVIDIA set up on fullscreen since the driver update for Windows 10. I have had a similar update for the AMD drivers in Windows 10.

I am starting to think it is a spawn of Satan problem.

Shucks...It could be a syntax thing... What if you try the word quad instead of sprite at line 19.
and..If you step back a little ...say...
14 camera {
15 type: 3D
16 pos: 0, 0, 2000
can you see the whole quad panel then ?

EDIT: you might have to put some color on the transparent quad first..like..

Quad {
source: Surface_Texture
size: 1600, 900
color: 0.2, 0.8, 0.2 😊
pos: 0, 0, 0
hotspot: 0.5, 0.5
resolution: 15
shader: fragment,Shaders/AnotherTunnel_glslsandboxdotcom_e#27109_0.fsh
}

also in the compatible version fsh, the only problem I found was the code from the sandbox website needs constant PI declared (added) at the code start in order to work in VGHDPlayer
eg: const float PI = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795;

Personally , I concentrate less on the girl and more on the costume. And from the wheel of fortune, there are a number of cards I like the like the look off I haven't bought yet.

if I really really...really like a girl, I am willing to be more flexible with the costume. But in principle I will go for an unknown girl wearing a costume I like, rather than a girl I really like with a costume I am indifferent to.

I have come to appreciate Anna Tatu a lot. I can understand why she is so popular. I also appreciate Melissa. And frankly it makes sense. they are good and consistent performers. Although, neither are specifically my top preferences.

My method is buying is to buy 50 credits at a time and spend them on girls that look interesting, usually over a few weeks. So I don't really notice or care if there are new girls each week or not.

However, if someone is buying from week to week based on releases, I can understand why seeing the same girls may be frustrating.

@EverthangForever - thanks for your kind comments on the new scenes.

I have tried various things with your tunnel shader I am having problems with, to no avail. I think this is something wierd with my graphics card and/or the maths within the shader.

If I go on the GLS Sandbox website and view the shader it looks fine. I have tried re-creating the shader in the same way you did and I still get the same problem. I think it lies somewhere within the shader but why it should work on NVIDIA cards and not AMD cards I do not know.

It would be useful to have feedback from other users to see if they have had a similar problem.

40+ years ago I could probably have sorted out the maths within the shader without a problem. Unfortunately in 40+ years you also forget a lot and the maths in the shader is possibly beyond me now, unless I put a lot of work into it.

My mind says for one scene is it worth the effort - my heart says you are a lazy bastard go find the answer :-)

Anna Tatu - Muse

if you like sitting panty upskirts, this is an excellent card.

Personally I would also like some more Anna Tatu -she is probably the sexiest woman I have ever seen on VG. I'm not sure why. Possibly she is not the prettiest, she may not have the best boobs, the nicest body or the best arse but as a complete package, to me, she is totally awesome. Add to that the fact she seems to be totally confident of her sexuality and moves around as if she knows exactly what she is doing without any need of "direction". She has a wonderful slighty lopsided half smile and when she unleashes her full smile it is devatating.

If they were to release more Anna cards I would buy them without question. But she is my favourite. Other people have different favourites and as @EverthangForever says Totem need to make money and the Viola fans and Melisa fans speak with their purchases of these cards. In some ways I cannot ***** as I have actually bought all of these cards because I do like them but like the OP I would like to see more new girls. In some ways there needs to be a balance between the return of old favourites (I've voted a resounding "YES" for Lorena to come back) and new girls.

TOTEM needs to make money to survive. We need to purchase cards in order for them to do this. Sometimes it is difficult to find a balance.

I found both Viola and Tracy Smile to be spectacular - gals that you just don't come across very often.

I'm thinkin' that I'm not alone - and that Supply has met Demand.

Which is as it should be.​​

Its simple. Viola & Melisa have a loud and persistant fan base, and as the saying goes...a squeaky wheel gets oiled . If Totem present a new girl who to your way of thinking has potential, then let the forum know. In Card comments, in other threads here..whatever..otherwise sure it could just become like a best-sellers' ad infinatum.

Now how about MORE Serena Wood..lol 😛

I'm bored of the same girls. Bring in some new ones...

Hi, absolutely amazing your new work @Number6..love it.the sense of space and smooth lighting dynamics superb now !!!! I particularly like the carosel adaptation with the transition of girls to 'NeighborPixelLessThan' state and some of the mesh scenes blow me away..awsome. Truely you have mastered lighting so it works like a sound reactive with the right tracks. Uber Schmik result :-)
Re the above quarter tunnel problem..the quad used ie: transparency.png in the ETImages folder is native size 1920 x 1080.
In the SCN this is resized down to 1600 x 900 in Surface_Texture sprite node. (as above...no particular reason for this but it was probably a legacy size from some old 2D camera scene script & worked ok in my rig at the time :-/

Try enlarging the spec size in yours for Surface_Texture in the SCN code (above pic) from 1600 x 900 to something higher, until it fits your screen. Failing that, play with the pos: so x more negative, y more positive for Surface_Texture. I tend to set the camera back a lot in scenes to square things up while working. Maybe cam size settings in 3D camera mode require a depth (z axis) stipulation as well or things get off-center via perspective changes.. If any of above works then pls let me know so I can update the archive zip for folks. Thanks lots for the feedback.:-).

My original file name to look for that tunnel SCN is
ELECTRICAveNew - UniMod02ET = Tunnels_AnotherTunnel_glslsandboxdotcom_e#27109_0.scn

Lucy Li is back, I'm in heaven ❤️
Belle Claire is not bad too.

Armina

@Cartref thanks for your words but if you trace back my posts i've been holding a bull horn for awhile now, and like i said before there's strengh in numbers and not enough people here to back me up with my views.

I would say that Ironman, has expressed it well, if Totem's core fan base (the silent majority) is justifying the cards being made, then the complaint is?

I know we all have oersonal preferences and we will buy according to them, but we must also respect Totem's need to make a profit on the cards being made.

Having said that, it is also right to raise your point of view. Who knows, you may sway the majority :)

And that, and alot of other recent comments, has absolutely nothing to do with what this thread is all about.

We are getting way off base of the intended purpose for the thread. Simply posting card pics to let the other members know what's coming soon. It's beginning to look as if we need to close it and open a new one........again. In order to get it back on topic.

I agre with the opinions of some of the members on here that's why my buying habits have slowed down to a crawl. Due to VG's core fan base (the silent majority) and the company always playing the numbers game this will never be the product i would like it to be. It took me a long to figure that out, and now i know that this site, this product is not going to cater to my likes and tastes as often as i would like them to.

@EverthangForever

I have a problem with the second tunnel that you recently posted.e#27109_0. Iam not sure if it is something weird in my graphics card (or even the spawn of Satan called Windows 10)

If you remember, when @TheEmu first published his tunnel shader and we were only getting the upper right hand quadrant. This is similar - see attached screenshot. The tunnel expands and contracts but only in the top half of the screen.

Any ideas?

The other tunnel you posted works fine.

@No.6: Not sure about that as I haven't really checked so deep. Before now, everything I expected to work, DID work :)
As an update, it appears that my new problem with 'clipNameSprite' only seems to happen when launching Fullscreen from the option wheel. The other 4 ways to launch Fullsceen seem ok...

Some of the clips tho have now lost any animation to the clipNameSprite and show only the default, original Totem version.

2 options... Roll back my driver or wait till Totem figure this out... :)

Oui, tous les goûts sont dans la nature!
Nous avons une chance énorme de retrouver Melisa ici après quelques *****ées, toujours aussi sexy, alors profitons-en. En plus, elle danse de mieux en mieux c'est vrai. Espérons qu'elle sera la reine des modèles sur le net encore quelque temps.
Perso je préfère moins de modèles, mais bcp plus sexy et nature: à savoir sans tatouage, ni piercing ou chirurgie esthétique.
Merci pour votre excellent boulot, Totem, et n'hésitez pas à trouver pour notre plus grand bonheur d'autres filles toutes naturelles dans les semaines à venir (Emily Bloom, Isabella D...)
Ou d'exaucer mon rêve le plus fou... faire revenir Morgane (hélas je crois qu'elle n'est plus active!)

@HombreSinSombra

Unfortunately I don't use NVIDIA. I was always an ATI man and consequently all my graphics stuff is now AMD. I too had an update just after I upgraded to Windows 10 however this does not seem to have caused me any problems. Everything fullscreen appears to work as it always did.

I will add one caveat to that. If I "deny" fronttable and behindtable then no table clips play - I get a "No Clips Are Available" for any table scenes. I am getting on a bit now and my memory may be faulty but I seem to remember that if you denied both of these, clips that were table top only would still play. As indicated my memory may be at fault, please advise.

WOW!!! Lucy Li!!! She looks amazing!
Now I would pay double credits for her cards ;-)
