has anyone yet found a way of animating background shader to rotate or pan sideways via either animate: or a uniform: call to 'Tunnel A' in the SCN code ?

Rotation of the shader, It can only be done in the shader code.

The fragment is the shape.
So for instance whe use a Quad or a rectangle as the shape.
The shaded then Paints onto that Shape..
It doesnt Matter if the Shape is straight, or Rotated..
The Painting takes place exactly the Same all the time Based on the code in the shader..
It Starts at the top left of the screen
Paints from left to right, then advances down to the next line
and paints that line.

Where ever the frgament is, it recieves color from the shader.

So if the fragment is rotated on an Angle like in your Picture.
then only that part of the fragment gets color applied by the shader.

Think of it like an Injet Printer..
If you print an Image on a full sheet of paper you get the FUll Image.
If you cut the paper into a Diamond shape
then Only that Portion of the Paper gets Ink.
Doesn't matter how you rotate the blank paper, the Ink is still printed from left to right

Funny

I`m in the same show you are in @stuka. I also would like to know to. Before my laptop goes out.

I personally, like my sex in real life & porn to be as dirty as possible.....& it doesn't get much dirtier than Anal, so I too miss Anal in the newer DB cards. Most DB models that do Anal in their cards use toys that are the size of my finger, but in their porn jobs take ***** male units up their backsides. Still, I think DB is doing the right thing, by allowing the models to choose what is included in their performances. Maybe it's time I started boycotting all DB cards that do not include Anal & let my credits do my talking?

Brace yourselves, Vegas cards are coming. Alexis Adams' VG debut.

Bit anal retentive all these threads...😎

has anyone yet found a way of animating background shader to rotate or pan sideways via either animate: or a uniform: call to 'Tunnel A' in the SCN code ? All I'm getting is animate on non shader sprites/quads, but the shader rendered 2D Channel image just stays put, even when you animate to rotate the camera z = 360, everything rotates except the tunnel walls. I seem to be able to rotate the butterflies ok, however thats because they are integrally constructed within the shader, just I cannot animate separately the TunnelA shader's 2DTextures on top of what the shader already does 😢.

Edit: just realised image above looks like Sabrisse is looking ready to bail out..I don't blame her 😭 yikes !

Well lets give the Vegas girls a chance to fill the void, perhaps those girls will be found to be more willing to do it...

I have 50 credits on my account and have not purchased any cards because of this. The cards that do have the anal play are with girls i do not find attractive. I hope they find better looking girls that do anal.

.

Agree it is disappointing....and the primary reason my card purchases have slowed to a trickle.

More from Eileen. Great, lookin' forward to it! 😊

Paula Shy and it is sext too.

Here is Heidi Romanova white sexy panties.

So I went back 99 days to see if I have put Donna sexy legs up, and I didn`t see here. So I have Donna from her classic card sexy legs.

So for this day I have Heidi Romanova one boob out.

And two new "foxy" cards of The Red Fox.

Final Eileen and new Ms.Lynna card.

This anal thing is interesting, because there are many models, who on film (and/or photos) often assume anal (f.e.: Eufrat, Eve Angel, Blue Angel, Sandra Shine, Aleska Diamond, etc.) who never did anal in DB. It appears these companies (21Sextury, Private, DDF Network, Twistys, etc.) or did they better something, or pay more than Totem. Sincerely I don"t know the solutions. I hope the solution is found by soon.

Thx. @nana08
Happy birthday ***** and Eve!

@Yidincrete has been kind enough to send me some of his early remixing of the above Tunnel A scenes which I think is wonderful stuff, very useful, as it illustrates use of uniforms speed, fade, zScale and tileScheme & how they might be applied to tunnel walls in the SCN code. Really helpful and interesting idea with progressive effect yidincrete. Thanks so much. Notes are in the code // comments.

Also, as much as I'd LOVE some Trio cards, I think in 3k it would break most people's computers ;)

I also want more Duo shows. It was seeing the combinations of a whole batch of girls that made it fun!

May 19th, added to ElectricAveNew a zoomed taskbar & an adapted swarms shader surrounding model with butterflies while running @TheEmu's new 'Tunnel A' shader
incl. alternate paths textures. Zipsize 6.43 MB

I agree with @eyex.
In my opinion very few the duo shows in the new DB - in the former version most often in solo cards' percent was cca. 40% and duo cards' percent was cca. 60%, but now solo cards' percent more than 60% and is too much,
Please more duo cards (and sometimes trio cards) in future, I think the members' majority agree with me!

Here is The Red fox one boob out.

bon anniversaire à Avril Sun qui fête ses 27 ans aujourd'hui

I have nothing to solo cards, but far too little is a duo cards, and it ***** me
So the rules do not buy any card (may include, for example 2 cards solo and 3 duo) greet

two more

@Number6

@Hombre & @WA talked about SCN code color animation on this thread (half way down page 17 - 103 days ago) I think was in relation to animating clipnamesprites. @Hombre did some great spinning color changing names with it. It would be really cool to see the color changes applied in some way to a whole background. I'll start knocking out some template SCNs to give @TheEmu props up front for his NEW 'Tunnel A' shader.

Its only 148 days ago ( midpage 10 ) that @Wyldanimal made our first derivatation of a Shadertoy 'Dave Hoskin's Rolling Ball http://scenes.virtuastripper.net/Shades-ball.zip' compatible with VGPlayer and fullscreen has gone from strength to strength ever since that amazing day. Thanks to @Wyld@Emu and all who have so selflessly contributed time here. Very inspiring work !!

@EverthangForever/@TheEmu

Is there any way of animating the colours in the background JPGs in the tunnel shaders? Similar to the JPGs in a normal scene?

I have some abstract JPGs which I think would look absolutely stunning in the tunnel full screen scenes if the colours could be animated.

See attached screenshot.

electricavenew Updated 16th May incl. Zoom Centered model SCN mods
I've thrown together a SCN mod for animated central position of model which dwells her larger at close to camera position, mostly anyhow, using a gentle bounce. I hope I've got the props ok on the splash titles @TheEmu. Anyhow its my best effort at a SCN template if peeps wanna use it. Let me know if needs further changes.
~Note @TheEmu has to yet complete the text preamble in his SCN codes if you're sharing this, because your files might need updating with his attributes/comments etc.some time later. Enjoy / remix prop @TheEmu Tunnel A , its a wonderful shader. Our first major VGPlayer specific generic shader, with a bunch of new Uniform SCN tweakers especially in the later 'Active' series.

scenes.virtuastripper.net/ELECTRICAveNew003a.zip
Edit: the earlier Electricavenew sitting models still use IQ's square tunnel. I've included the classic Lunarpup's jpg's (as normal and rotated) kindly uploaded by @Number6 as JPGs yesterday. I'll add some sitting 'taskbar' scenes using Theemu's brand new shader shortly..if I can just stop watching this long enough 😛. All my old posts pre-share-thread scene download links have been re-activated. This update 13,375 KB, 17th May.

O M G this is nothing short of amazing ..agree #Number6 seaming tiles will be the least of our concerns..wowow We're able to skew centers for our models and maybe animate that..now I'm drinking same as you hehe Bless you Emuuuu
No.6 ~love the Hendrix double header btw 😄😎
Guys load your favs playlist ...just paste your fav pics (just the JPG or PNG files themselves ~ not the folder ) into .../Scenes/TheEmu = Experiments with Tunnels/Images/
and have a great weekend... 'up' very late~ lol.

@EverthangForever

Have just tried one of @TheEmu's tunnel shaders with a few of the seamles tiles I did for ElectricAveNew.

Looks like they may be OK.

Have attached a couple of screenshots.

The interesting thing now will be to see how seamless we can make the tiling as per 'optionaly flipping it to partialy eliminate discontinuities between wall tiles'..very grateful for your efforts @Theemu

@TheEmu

My thanks also - this seems to have cured the problem for me as well.

@EverthangForever - At first I also found it odd that the shader worked with the Intel graphics processor, but having found the cause its understandable. The pow function should not work for negative first arguments as such things as pow(-.1.0,0.5) means the square root of -1.0. The proper GPUs were handling it correctly but the Intel graphics processor seemed to be evaluating pow(a,b) as pow(abs(a),b). In future I must remeber to check everythings with both GPUs.

ohhh thank God, ..I supposed it was in the shader because double stroking out the shader produced the full image no worries.Its interesting that the intel processor didn't do this however...thanks muchly ~Dankeschön 😄

There was an error in the shader used for the Experiments with Tunnels scenes. It resulted in only a quarter of the screen being rendered - though everthing worked when using an Intel integrated graphics processor rather than an external GPU.

This has been fixed and the version on TheEmusNest.eu has been updated, so if you took it earlier then please download it again.using the direct link

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

Paula Shy

@EverthangForever and @Number6

I have found the problem. Its in the TunnelRadius function, which is only 4 statements long.

It looks like the pow function has a problem when the first argument is negative, which is reasonable.

=======

Yes, that was the problem.

You can fix it by adding the line

qq = abs(qq);

so that the function becomes

float TunnelRadius ( vec2 uv )
{
vec2 qq = uv * vec2(1.0,tunnelAspectRatio);

qq = abs(qq);

qq.x = pow ( qq.x, tunnelSectionShape );
qq.y = pow ( qq.y, tunnelSectionShape );

return pow ( qq.x + qq.y, 1.0/tunnelSectionShape );

}

I will update the version on the EmusNest

@EverthangForever and @Number6

I have a laptop that has two GPUs - an integrated Intel graphics processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M.

By default I use the Intel graphics processor, and it runs these new scenes with no problems.

However, I just started VGHD using the NVIDIA GPU, and had the same result as you two.

Unfortunately I will not be able to investigate much as I will be away from early tomorrow morning for almost a week.

@TheEmu what card / MB are you using ? I can run just about anything before, my screen resolution is only 1360 x 768 on plasma. ***** VGPlayer and downloader and restarting ..to no avail srry. 😢
What I can see looks amazing though...
@Wyld [email protected] know more ???

I can't imagine what the problem may be because nothing in the shader itself splits the screen into quadrants.

Possibly its just too much for your system - but thats very unlikely, the shader itself is not particular heavy and are the supplied images are not large.

I have in the past had some strange things happen when running various scenes and the only way to recover has been to quit VirtuaGirl completely via the Quit menu item on the Systray icon (or by killng it via the Task Manager) and then starting it again. Whether or not it will have any effect for this problem I do not know.

I am getting exactly the same top right quarter tunnel as you. Its a problem with the code NOT your card.. so ! expect a result will be soon ;-) me.. Nvidea Geforce 660 Ti

@TheEmu

I have just downloaded the new tunnel shaders but unfortunately my play time was rather short.

There must be something seriously weird with my graphics card. I am unable to get any of the tunnels to work correctly. I just get a single quadrant displayed in the shader - the other 3 quadrants are blank. It is the same on every single one.

I have tried removing the comments from the shader as you suggested but to no avail.

It is a Gygabyte Radeon R7 260X card with 2GB memory. I have the latest drivers from AMD (although I'll check to see if there has been another update since last November).

I don't know if you can shed any light on the possible causes?

Screenshot attached.

@Theemu, if I run another framebuffer layer of the above with alternate depth setting, I'm hoping I can get the front butterflies to also seamlessly fly around the model or sinusoidally (figure 8 ) around 2 models. I've also been playing with temporary opacity 0 as an animation property and sideways (rotate texture2Ds y 90 degrees) in animation lines to attempt to give periods of 'rest' to the relentless continuity of movement. @Emu's fog is interesting too. Someone surely must play more with that soon. I will struggle on. :-)

Incidentally, if peeps are getting screen freezes during fullscreen, hitting S key does work..you just have to be patient and wait a while for it to go on. go make a coffee or something ;-)

@Number6 ..'if the backgrounds ar becoming more important than the girls, I think we are on to a loser. '.
My approach all along with this has been as follows:

• Follow Totem's lead in putting randoms together to provide 'infinite variety'. This means many random girls with many random contexts. The contexts are the scenes.
  
• Use any means to give an illusion of 3D to the models
  
• Use animation to focus attention on the model. In this way the tunnel scenes draw the eye to the model using perspective changes.
  

I think its wonderful the outcome, thanks to people like yourself and others.
@Theemu, Just posted the Uber http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?foId=3&ftId=29408&gotolastpage=1#post472017Shader of tunnels. I may be away for some time ❤️😎😄
