I have been trying to use shaders without any real understanding of the subject, so please be kind!
I have been using the technique in the Bikini fullscreen from Totem to ripple some water.
It works OK for the water sprite.
However, I want to put a dancer behind the water and see her reflection in the water also rippled by the shaders.
Again, it works OK, but then I thought the reflection was too powerful - it didn't take into account light absorbsion or scattering -
so I tried to reduce the opacity. This did not work.
Can anyone tell me why, or what I need to do?
This is my code for the reflected ClipSprite:

texture {
id : Refraction
source : Romanesque/images/FashionStage_Water2Bump.png
wrap : repeat
}
...
clipSprite {
source : GirlFrontArch, 0 // reflection
source : Refraction, 1
pos : 35, -400, 0
standingHeight : 460
scale : -1, -1, 1
shader : fragment, Romanesque/shaders/refraction.fsh
shader : vertex, Romanesque/shaders/refraction.vsh
opacity : 0.05 // does not work!
blend : true
}

Monika benz will come back?

Most of #TeamSmall had already bought all the cards. That was also for me the case.

Thanks @Wyldanimal.
Now I know.

Any/All Aleska Diamond, Anna Tatu, Antonia, Blue Angel, Naomi Nevena, Silvie Deluxe, Sarka and Playfull *****!! Pleaaaase thanks :)

Thank you！

@wangxukkk - thank you for your recent scene. The overall effect is very different to any that I can recall seeing here previously and that is very much appreciated. As with the cards and models the greater the variety the better.

I really have to ask: why is Totem so hellbent on this, and more to the point - not letting regular customers disable this?

And no, resizing the interface isn't a solution, it's just an avoidance thing. Nor is keeping it to 'Small mode'.

It's also even more absurd when the main client window itself already has a preview/wishlist/info/cost/purchase/ratings display built in and elegantly tucked to the side of the cards' information and easily accessed.

So really. Why?

There's even a nice fat red "buy me" button that can be used when the obstructive pop up isn't popping up, which is elegant and mostly non-intrusive.

Oh, and yes. It is a 'my opinion' case, in case anyone wants to jump in and say "it doesn't bother the rest of us".

Thank you！

Wow very interesting use of scale, textures, slow animation & shaders @wangxukkk. Love it lots 😊

We are especially grateful to @HombreSinSombra for the flames! The

Congratulations ! It looks like #teamBig crushes #teamSmall on this one ! You were almost 50% more to prefer tremendous and massive breasts ;)

I like the idea too!

My W10 do not know what reason can not screenshot. So there is no effect map.

Can only give a background map, please understand.

Look forward to the views of friends.

I cant recall any real rimming that I noticed, but then again, it's something I have only recently started to be interested in. I second the ops request :)

That's a pretty good list. If you were limited to just 20 and could only use the same girl once, what changes would you make?

Nasita this Memorable tattoo.
Can someone tell wgat it saying please.

"per aspera ad astra"

it's Latin, meaning "through hardships to the stars"

Here's 25 of the Best Cards of VG to Help when starting the Program.

@stefnev1, ah oui effectivement!! Merci pour votre réponse :)

@Paintsnudes is right :) Great eye ^^

@KingUbu : oui, la qualité en 3k est meilleure, même sur un écran 1080p. La différence de définition se voit sans problème.

Thank you!

@stefnev1, bien le bonjour, je pensais essayer la 3k sur mon écran 1080p, trouvez-vous que la qualité augmente sensiblement par rapport au 1080p?

Hello, i want to try 3k on my 1080p monitor, do you think that the quality improved greatly?

This is a quote from one of Isabella Chystine's card describing not just her traits as a VG performer, but on a macro level what Totem, at that time deemed a cherished attribute of theirs ... "We pride ourselves with having the most ethnically diverse models on our roster, so that we can bring you the finest, most gorgeous dancers on the internet." The key focus here is "ethically diverse models". This is why I willnot miss the U.S. studio. the names might of had some gravity towards their appeal as performers but ethnically diverse performe, such as black girls, brown girls, Asians which includes the whole litiny of Pacific rim nations is desperately overwhelmed by white European women. If somehow, this issue can be addresed and implemetation of a fresh parade of racially diverse dancers could be added to the card mix, I'd be WAY less conservative in holding back my purchases on tickets. Every weeki, I await a fresh face that appears strikingly different from the other girls and remain dissappointed week after week. Is ethnic diversity that hard to acquire or is it? Sometimes I wonder what the setback is.

@zenexxx, @mo7ibelkuss - If there was sound on every card then either the girls would have to dance without the help of music or Totem would have to obtain worldwide rights to distribrute the music which would presumably require that they raise the prices charged for the cards. Perhaps an introductory clip with the girl talking could be provided, but thats probably all that would be practical.

I am for making xxx cards more. I like them and deskbabes was my first choice not virtual girl. I think that every show, not only xxx, shoul have sound. I like girls talking to me. And one thing. I miss duos. It would be great to see them back for example Nancy and Gloria kissing together, Stella Cox with Tina Kay.... Dreams ;)

Amen to every single suggestion of yours!! I agree wholeheartedly! There should be sound on every card: xxx, or otherwise!

I agree with @orclover and @EverthangForever - the individual clips in a playlist ought to be identifiable. I would also like it if the the now playing tab showed which clips had been played/are currently playing/have yet to be played for a card. It might also be useful if it was possible to toggle the display of an entry from showing a card to showing its individual clips thereby allowing individual clips to then be deleted or moved without having to recreate the playlist.

With respect to slow motion and start/stop for scenes. I would welcome both, start/stop is definately missing and using the space bar, as is usual with media players, would seem the obvious choice for this. I doubt that I would use slow motion when just watching scenes, but I would certainly have used it when developing some of my scenes though for development purposes a speed factor specifier in the .scn file itself might be more useful than a simple fixed rate slow motion mode, especiialy if there was some way to run fast to reach a critcal point and then slow right down to check it in detail. During development I can imagine wanting to run scenes very very slowly in order to be able to check for timing glitches when making things move, appear or disappear.

@deafrage, it's Uma Jolie.

My problem with the US site was simple, they did a woeful job. Nearly every card needs to be updated, even when updated they did not match the quality of the France site, the pictures were generally 2nd rate and they offered up nothing but pornstars. They didn't even try to look outside their window, they contacted a few porn agencies for quotes and up came the usual US pornstar, Elsa Jean, it's what you would expect a next gen Barbie to look like, trashy, blonde and hollow. The people paid to to do the US enterprise were lazy and they deserved to be closed IMO. Everyone was excited when it was announced that they were opening a US studio, the diversity was coming, it didn't, they couldn't even find a Foxy type, in Las Vegas !! .. If Totem wanted to add diversity they could, Paris herself is very diverse, many women from many cultures, maybe they just don't sell, I would buy say another Isabella Chrystin, maybe I am in the minority, only Totem knows what makes them the dollars and that's what they will continue to sell.

When I read the forum on girls we would like to see returned I don't see many call outs for any of the US pornstars, so there doesn't seem to be any great demand that I can see. I have a few thousand cards myself, many lately I haven't bought, Shyla Jennings, seen all that can be seen, pass, Dillion Harper, seriously, pass. Simple.

And thanks for the lesson on twerking, very informative and for the clarification that it is not the same as *****, which is not ***** though, it's squirting, big difference, alot of xxx movies sell because they have squirters, all girls can *****, only the special ones can squirt :) ...

Cheers.

Hi, anyone know who are in the background of this weekend Boobster pack? One on the left seems to be Lucy Li, but the one on the right I have no idea who it could be. Thanks!

Hi @orclover, I think what may have shocked a lot of the 'old guard' here was that Totem's reps in USA could not find many inkless shaven younger women who could start TotemUSA off more seamlessly with a good show for the money. For me USA cards too had a different vibe than Paris. I can only surmise was due to the way the studio was run. Many girls performances just seemed a lot less relaxed and less naturally fun-like to me. It felt like there was pressure to perform in a certain way there. ..so many twerks per card ...whatever.

For instance many models did not pause/express their own admiration for their own bodies' beauty by glancing at it very much and then back at the camera enough. Instead chose to just look directly at the camera like it was a photoshoot. That used to happen in the early days in Paris,.and we used to yell at poor Paris Team a lot for that. USA Studio should have picked that up, and tried to blend the styles more, because when done properly, (eg: Sabrisse), self admire~lookup~self admire-lookup invites the viewer. It reflects enjoyment / confidence in the 'chemistry' of the performance for the viewer.

As far as a Studio in the Ukraine goes, i don't think there ever was one.
Cheaper to fly ladies to Paris I would think.

Agree with @orclover..
clips ***** into the Next list need to include hash number and duration.
At the moment is only clip name and Title in the MyCollection side menu although
clip duration does also show in Now Playing

Here is a request:

1. Put a tooltip on the clips found in the playlists that identifies the clip by number. I can't find clips in a playlist because it doesn't state clip number or anything. Also having some ways to organize clips in the playlist would be nice. Right now I can't even play the card from the playlist without uploading it into the now playing and then randomly clicking until I find the right one. My playlist has over 200 clips because it is a best of all time list.

Mmmm, 2017 is shaping up to be a tough one, girls like Mila and Valeria, so hard to look at, how will we make it, going to be a stuggle :)

But hey 2018 may see the resurgence of the very under-valued art form of Twerking, or Totem may go the way of the other requests, ask the girls to drop a couple of fluid tablets, drink a litre of water and get them to ***** all over a glass floor, hey we made a Squirting card :) ...

2017, many challenges ahead :) Go Totem !! ...

Oh and when I am watching watching a show, like at the movies, and I don't like it, I look for the door with the green sign that says "Exit" and I then I get up and walk through it, problem solved :)

Cheers.

Part of the problem is there just isn't a great crop of girls available right now. We had Melisa, Lucy Li, Viola etc during one stretch, that just isn't altogher possible right now. I was mad about American studio but there really had to overpay to get great dancers, and there are few girls with great bodies, who are flexibly and bubbly. So we get Mila, too skinny, but big boobs and can't dance, or Valeria, great dancer, but too skinny and flat all over. That being said, All I ask for is diversity...I felt the contrast between American style and Ukrainian style was great, I only bought half the cards that came out, now there is not contrast...you may be happy but there are many who are at least disappointed with the lack of contrast between girls. Imagine if totem closed the Ukrainian studio, and only had American pornstars? How would you feel? Would you just take your 3000 cards and just disappear? Or would you at least ask for a compromise. That is all I am asking for...some sort of entertaining dancing with a real woman who has performed at a high level in club. And stop ***** on any movement a girl does that show she can have great sex...it makes much more sense to like a girl who can shake her hips and ass, since that is a natural movement during sex, than a girl who stands in place swaying. The girls with tight hips, who just sway, look like they would just lay in bed...that may be great for some, but it natural to love a girl who looks talented in bed. ***** and twerking or no where near the same thing, when a girl twerks during sex she shows she is into the sex and recipricating the pleasure, ***** is not that.
