@member84392371 (may I call you 'Lorenafan' for simplicity?), you are no doubt right on the money there. Despite my 'insignificant' comment, I am encouraged that well over my original target of 100 votes was achieved. Thanks again to all.

Very nice!

Close up on the taskbar or full body standing... these are terms used here since the beginning to identify the type of clips. In the software the close ups now are called "close shot".

Closeups ?

there are none unless you use the magnifer

Oh heck...I'm on a roll and just had another thought. ;-)

I'm not a programmer, but would it be possible to write something like a small "batch file" program that could be used to SAFELY delete ALL the files for a scene somebody didn't want to keep? It would have to delete the .SCN file itself, and if it was ALSO going to delete any associated .PNG files with that scene, FIRST check to see if that .PNG file is being used by any OTHER scene in the root scene folder (like a "ZZ" or "ET" folder, if that's what the root scene folder was called). If it was, it would NOT delete that .PNG file along with the selected .SCN file.

That would allow users of our scenes who have no idea how to safely MANUALLY delete some of our scenes do it.

EDIT: I just posted the "batch file" idea as a new post in the "Ideas" section of the forum. Maybe Totem can include a function in the GUI that would allow a user to delete scenes. Currently there is no way in the GUI for a user to delete a scene they may not want to keep and use. I think VG needs something like that now that a user can "flood" their VG installation with new scenes people like us are creating for VG.

Hmm... I know there are plenty of girls showing off their ass in closeup clips on VG but since there's no coding of that it's hard to pinpoint specific clips. I used to do in depth decoding of each clip in the early days but that work took way to much time.

Check out my old library here:

http://www.virtuagirllibrary.com/old/card_list.php?IntSQLOrder=2&Sort Cards=Arrange Cards

The site also used to have a search function but the php on that one got outdated and I never fixed it. Sorry...

As an add to my above post, keep in mind that in order to TOTALLY remove a scene from VG, the user needs to remove BOTH the .SCN file AND the associated .PNG files for the scene. Yes, you could just remove the .SCN file, but eventually you will have an Images folder with a heck of a lot of unused and unneeded .PNG files in it.

But you could also screw up some OTHER scenes from working if you remove a .PNG file that is being shared by other .SCN files, so a user who doesn't have an understanding of that can't just start arbitrarily removing .PNG files unless they know what they are doing. Most of us here creating scenes could figure out which .PNG files to safely remove. Most of the users downloading our scenes who are not scene creators probably wouldn't know which ones are safe to remove or not.

I think we need to remember that and try and make our scene uploads "user friendly" for them when they install our scenes. If a user "figured out" how to remove one of our scenes they didn't want to use, we shouldn't be re-installing that scene again in any "ZIP update" we release in the future.

Note the above method would also prevent someone like ZZ from having to upload separate zip files for "low or high performance" computers like he did with his "1 to 5 models" and "6 to 15" models ZIP files. He could just put all those files in ONE zip, and if the higher number model ones didn't run well on a user's computer, the user could just delete those scenes without worrying about them getting re-installed again in a future ZIP file with newly created scenes.

I'm just brain-storming here. But in the past I've had to go and RE-delete some scenes that I had already deleted from my VG when they got re-installed in ZIP file "updates" we as scene creators are uploading here. I think we need to make our uploads more "user friendly" for the sake of the whole community of users who will be using our scenes.

I dont mean penetration - just footage of the performers ass in general - close up ( which is lacking ) or otherwise . Even in DB there is usually less ....

Hi all. I haven't been creating any new scenes yet since last time. I still have some time constraints in my personal life that are taking precedence, but I'll be back to scene creation again eventually.

But I've noticed something since I got all my computers set back up again after my move, and I thought I'd bring it up for discussion concerning all of our scene creations and how we are providing our "updates" to our previous submissions.

Not everybody (the users who download our scenes) may want to "keep" every one of our scenes we create. It may just be a matter of personal preference...I like some of the scenes an author creates and want to keep those in my VG, but I also delete some of the scenes I don't want to use. That's OK for someone to do when they download our scenes.

The problem is if we create some more NEW scenes and then "zip them up" in a zip file that contains ALL of our previous scenes, when the user installs that "update" zip we are throwing ALL of our scenes back on that user's computer again in VG. Even the ones they may have deleted before from us that they don't want to use.

I've thought about ways to prevent this from happening, and the most logical way I can think of to prevent it is to ONLY include NEW scenes in any "update zip files" we upload for the community. Kinda like ZZ did with his recent HD zip file, but that one created a whole new "ZZ" entry in the Scenes List in VG (and that was OK under the circumstances...he explained WHY he did it that way). But for instance, instead of calling our ZIP files "Version 1, Version 2, Version 3..." etc and updating the ENTIRE set of our scenes, it may make more sense to call them "Set 1", "Set 2", Set 3", etc...with NO DUPLICATES of our previous scenes in them as the "Set Number" increases. It would be easy to implement starting now. Just take your most CURRENT zip file with all your scenes in it and call it something like "ZZ Scenes - Set 1". Then from now on when you create NEW scenes to upload, make that Zip file "ZZ Scenes - Set 2" etc, and don't include any of your previous scenes in it. Your next update would be "Set 3", etc. Then users who download the "sets" aren't re-installing previous scenes from you they have already removed from VG they don't want to use.

Plus, then when you make a post about uploading some new scenes you have created, you can say something like, "This file will only ADD THESE new scenes to your VG Scene List. It will not alter or re-install any previous scenes of mine you may already have or have deleted." That would also make it more understandable (and less scary!) for many users who may not understand just WHAT we are doing to their VG installation.

Are there any other ideas I may not have thought of to prevent it from happening? We are still basically a small group creating scenes here, but I think we shouldn't be "*****" users to "re-install" any of our previous scenes they may have chosen NOT to use (removed from VG) every time we "update" our scene ZIP folders and upload them.

lol !!!

@darkcloud: i'm sure Zuzana would've won in a longer challenge, now it was just a question of who was online at the time of voting. I myself find Maya more attracting than Zuzana with her balloon like boobs (although her whole body is near perfect).

@SoNice52: yes I'll try to post all the stats, you're at nr.12 of the voters ;-)

Quick reply..

Thanks for the Support...
I have my Task bar as Always hide.
so this just provides me a way to give the Small size clips, the top of a window to perform on.

"Question: Will your program work also on fullsize animations ?"

No I don't create any kind of virtual Task bar. haven't looked into that..

But with the small size now going to be 60%, it will work with that..


The hiding the stage came from seeing that wallpaper show up...
I saw it and though it be nice to have the girls dance on the roofs..
But having all these Stages on the screen wasn't pretty.
so I found a way to make then still active but Hidden from view.

@darkcloud I myself thought Maya would lose... But this is a crazy world we live in... I like Maya's softer curves and thicker legs and butt! Zuzana is prettier in the face hands down better breast (im not a breast man) and longer legs but to each his own.. Plus the challenge to 5 is rough.... Could just be more Maya fans were up at the time... I say before they shut this down we should post our own list... @member84392371 I hope you post all the final stats you kept.

I do not think that she's still active... haven't seen any new stuff from her for years.

@darkcloud

lol

I absolutely thought the same... :)

My whole batch of demos this past 2 weeks are A cups size at best! wtf Totem? I'm trying to be nice about it, but, seriously?! doesn't look like I will be spending any money here soon. what a shame. is it really that hard to contact those former big gun hitters and bring some back? diversity is going out the window here, and I haven't even purchased any of the new set yet. why should I Totem? Sheesh!

This is the most ridiculous result i have seen, (and i have seen a lot), people are blind. Yea yea, people has different taste but this is a non sense. Good luck Morgane, because you are pretty, you will probably loose :(

I agree that I would like see Zuzana back but for VGHD, not for DB.

I agree, please get Zuzana back. For DB would be wonderful :-)

I pick Morgane.

Sounds very promising Wyldanimal!

Wow, Maya Mai wins 5 to 2!!

That's pretty amazing (and well done Maya!)..

Zuzana drops 10 spots on the ladder.

@tylersoze: you get to pick a new challenger!

@ozbomber: that membership count says nothing and only serves marketing purposes.
the number of members that visit the forum is no doubt only a fraction, and then there's the number of members that vote/post in the forum that's even less. probably from a couple of 100 to a couple of 1,000 members.

Great idea Wyldanimal I'm defiantly intrested

Even though members who have not cast a vote can still do so, I think we have all had ample opportunity already. So I'll declare the contest over as at 12.00 Noon GMT on 25th October 2014.

At that time the votes were as follows (143 votes cast)

1st. Melisa with 27% of the vote
2nd. Anna Tatu with 25%
3rd. Little Caprice 14%
4th. Mandy Dee 13%
5th. Jana Cova 8%
Equal 6th. Cindy Dollar & Playful ***** 6% each

These percentages are approximate only. The above 7 add to 99% and last place Miela had 3% of the vote, so we have cribbed 2% from somewhere.

My thanks to all who voted, and even to those many who looked, but decided not to vote.

This poll confirms what others, including the Ladder, have already told us - that Melisa and Anna Tatu are clearly the most popular VirtuaGirls to this stage.

Yet only 143 votes, from a total membership exceeding 21 million, seem rather insignificant.

Hi @WA, I've been reluctant to mention this as a fault in the Beta thread, because in a previous Beta, I mentioned it and Totem took it away.

When you click on a small sized girl it goes to fullsize. If you raise the taskbar the fullsize appears at that height. When you lower the taskbar she stays at that height.

Question: Will your program work also on fullsize animations ? If it does, I'm keen to know,because I can put away the Transparent Taskbar program I've been using with various desktop visualizers like Milkdrop2 etc.

cpu usage of the new version looks very promising and way different than it was a few versions back with the full screen mode!

nice idea by the way Wyldanimal.
how about a background of a pond with girls on waterlily leaves ;-)

Note that VirtuaGirl is softcore Striptease. I guess you don't see much anal penetration in any of your local strip clubs?

Anal IS commonly occurring in DeskBabes... maybe you are looking in the wrong place? =)

Hi@piratg, It's something else imho, & a relatively recent phenomena for the sex industry in general to address. Scientific and medical research is now pointing to cross ***** of the uterus by antibiotic resistant anal germs like C-diff and Desulfovibrio, owing to the widespread overuse of antibiotics, the modern gut, and possible consequences. Introducing an additional 90,000 species of anal micro-organisms to the vagina ~ uterus by fecal contamination ~ via hands/ toys could be a possible problem. Fecal contamination of the uterus is being linked to endometriosis, Asperger's Syndrome in future embryos and a number of other serious conditions. Its because the average gut 20 years ago did not have these C-diff etc overpopulations, however these days it often does as the micro-organisms have learnt to adapt. Antibiotics like many advancements, can be a two edged sword.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-10-25/gut-microbiota-linked-to-health-autism-schizophrenia/5841264

This is MY opinion based on extensive research. It has nothing to do with Totem's or any other policies. You have to do your own research ;)

Hi Wyldanimal,

What a useful innovation for the new beta! It is graceful and useful workaround for the need to have the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and constantly displaying.

I assume each stage is a MDI window set to minimum vertical size and adjustable width.

I am happy to support you in this effort.

That's an exciting pick there darkcloud, Zuzana has the record longest winning streak (22) and the most votes in absolute terms (297), I expect her to climb at least to Little Caprice and if she beats her who knows..

Go Mandy!!

here's a quick look at the average specs on the PC I'm testing with..
64 bit Windows 10TP 9860
4GB memory
Pentium @2.7GHz

Nothing supper or High end..
a basic $350 pc.
well add $129 for Windows 8.0 and $99 for the Pro Pack with Media Center..

Recording Full Screen video and running 10 girls at once.. ( only at 10% )
5 at 30% maxes it out..

One of my Desktop Wallpapers is a scene of a villa with many roofs.
I thought it would be great if I could get the Models to perform on top of these roofs.
So I created what I call VirtuaStage.

Virtual platforms that the models can perform on, and they can be hidden from view..

Here's a link to my test Video.
If there is interest in this, I'll work on it to make a finished product and submit it to Totem for Approval to share it..

Ok well this gif has her pretty much fully nude, is that the only place?

You can freely ask any non-virtuagirl questions or make any comments of things having nothing to do with virtuagirl (or deskbabes) in the following category (nudity is not allowed):

About Everything Else

(this category is accessible via virtuagirl and deskbabes)

I recently came across an add for one of those adult dating sites. I know better that this girl isn't a personal model for that site, and she is prolly well known, I wanna post a gif of that add and ask about her here but I do not know if that is frowned upon or not,

Are anal shots more prized or something , or less ?

I find it strange that in nearly all cards theres an onbvious bias ( esp in VG where you often see no anal at all ) why is this ?

Futhermore why do you have pics of anal in some cards ( like Mia Sollis / eye catcher ) and then have 0 shots in the actual show ? ( I still havent seen one glimpse despite 9 pics and 6 other potential anal shots in photos )

2nd time I've bought a card to see anal and get nothing - not happy about it at all

Am I the only ass lover peeved off with this trend here ?

Seems there is limited support for a vote between the earliest VirtuaGirls. 90% of votes so far are in favour, but the vote total is still very small.

My thanks to the free thinker who posted the only 'no' vote to this stage.

With 126 votes cast - more than expected - I intend to close the voting on this poll at 12 Noon GMT.
Just over 12 hours to go, and Melisa has moved to a good lead over Anna Tatu. Next best Little Caprice and Mandy Dee.
My choice, Jana Cova, rounds out our top 5.

We'll see what the next 12 hours brings, but I don't expect much change in positions.

I pick Zuzana from the ladder

Danielle Trixie lose by 5-10.

time for a new challenger.

@darkcloud, you have to choose a new challenger or a girl from the current ladder.

Danielle Trixie

Danielle Trixie 6
Naomi Nevena 10
