thanks for that Ullubu.

to 1) VIP cards don't exist anymore. VIP status got replaced by Diamond status.
to 2) There are now Diamond, DoubleDiamond and TripleDiamond status. When you get Diamond you get 10 credits and 35% discount on all cards. When you reach DoubleDiamond you get 10 credits and 40% discount on all cards. When you reach TripleDiamond you get 10 credits and 45% discount on all cards.

firstly i'd like to apologize if i have put this thread in the wrong forum you can move it if you want. i haven't been on this for at least a good few months and a awful lot has changed so i was wondering if some veterans could answer some questions for me. 1) when i was last on this i noticed there was a VIP section where people can get free cards, whats happened to that and why cant i get it anymore? 2) I've also noticed that there used to be VIP badges and now its diamonds. the old way was easy to understand but this whole diamond thing i haven't quite understood yet. can someone explain the diamond ranks and there benefits please. 3) i used to be able to stop the demos from playing but now i can't figure out how, can someone please let me know. i think that's all i have to ask at the moment if i think of anything else i'll let you know, and thanks for your support.

I agree, WyDude. we could add Rebeka to the list as well, even though her dancing style very much reflects her burlesque performances where the pole does not come in to play. I've noticed that in a few of her shoots she wears her own outfits as well rather than stuff from the totem wardrobe (hers looks better anyway). Marta just seems to do whatever, but she's so hot that who cares anyway? I've asked totem to bring back some of those girls, including Shabba and Suzy Q, but so far a deaf ear has been turned, even though Rebeka was still right there in france, last I knew and totem already has the contact info for those former models. tried suggesting in the casting forum as well, but certain moderators in there get downright *****, so alas it seems the era of busty dancers has come to an end on virtuagirl. and I realize that Rebeka is enhanced and not natural, but IMHO still very hot and interesting to watch. and Shabba really deserved a better turn than just the 3 shows totem allowed her to do, not counting her classic card. it would be nice if the older cards could have been updated to include what the girls were dancing to while being filmed, and should be included in the new collection. but I guess keeping the files at a reasonable size factors in to that.

As requested by the Emu I have made 2 scenes using The Emu Carousel and bounce scenes. You can download them here:-
http://scenes.virtuastripper.net/yidincrete=TheEmu.zip

@ZZ: Thanks buddy. I added that line of code to the Right model clip and now they only enter from the right :) Looks so much better when the models don't cross over each other :)

// Right Model Clip
clipSprite {
pos: 600, 440
source: clip Right
standingHeight: 380
resolution: 20
material: false
scale: -1, 1, 1
}
clipNameSprite {
pos: 600, 460
scale: 0.25
hotspot: 0.5, 1
source: clip Right
}

Im with Chaotic - I'll looking fwd to those cards.

This is interesting, and NOT something I consider a problem.

Please view screenshots.

Top screenshot is my collection showing that two cards are selected and downloading. The download percentage is 19%.

Bottom screenshot is advanced settings showing that two cards are downloading. The download percentages are 15% for one and 23% for the other.

It seems that when downloading multiple cards simultaneously, and selecting all cards (might only happen with two cards?) currently being downloaded, that the my collection gives an average percentage of all cards being downloaded.

Again, I do not see this as a problem.

Who else has noticed this?

I have just updated the ShaderToy.com shaders on TheEmusNest.eu

Firstly, the Flame example has been optimised by changing the size of the quad used in the .scn file so that it is no bigger than it needs to be (which makes a big difference to the GPU usage) and also by some ***** optimisation of the code in the .fsh file. It runs much better now on my laptop but you may still want to tweak it yourself if it is jerky on your computer.

Secondly, I had been a little sloppy with my original mods to some of the .fsh files. I was using integer literals where I really should have been using floating point ones, which is not valid GLSL but which was being accepted. It turns out that the Mac shader compiler is less tolerant, and rightly so. Lezado spotted this and supplied corrected versions which I have now uploaded. Thank you Lezado.

@HombreSinSombra, I have sent you a personal message about your use of the Flame shader.

Thanks, beast! I had no idea how good this guy was. Fascinating stuff :) One day...

Mike Wazowski

this is the Google Image that the Shader recreates.
IQ, is the Creator of Shadertoy.com
Iñigo Quílez
His Bio is here - Rather Impressive.
http://www.iquilezles.org/personal/curri/curri.htm

Currently works for Pixar Animation

The Mike Wazowski Shader, uses all mathematical procedures to recreate Mike.
There are no Objects or Meshes in our Shaders.
It's all simply illusions created by Colors and Light, and Math.

What we forget, or don't realize, is that a shader is a flat canvas.
and then pixel by pixel you apply a math procedure to colorize that pixel.
So we are painting the screen with colors based on mathematical results.


I had toyed with Mike for a bit, even got to animate his arms and hands.
But it was to GPU intensive to use as a Full Screen scene file.

Visit IQ's site for some interesting reads.

unzip it, and run Paradise.exe
that's all done in less than 64kb

( remember the commodore 64 - That PC only had 64K of Memory )

Hahaha! @ZZ: Yup you got it! In the shader file, the guy who created it, 'IQ', said he was made from a google search and the home page threw up that image :)

I'll try that code change. Thanks to you too buddy.

2 hours to New Year here so I gotta go shower and get out to party!

Have a great one guys!

Edit: @TheEmu: Leave it with me, buddy. I owe you :)

I have a request. My artistic skills are minimal, so could any of you interested in producing full screen scenes please do a couple of little jobs for me. My sets of experimental Clocks and Carousel scenes are crying out for some good artwork, in particular a good looking clock case for the first and a good setting, such as a fairground or a club for the second.

For the clocks the clock case is currently just a plain rectangle with a hole in it, and I have no background at all for the carousels.

I would be extremely grateful if anybody could supply these as they would convert these two "experiments" into finished products.

You can find the sets of scenes via the Zips link on the Download page at TheEmusNest.eu

@HombreSinSombra,

add

scale: -1, 1, 1

to your clipsprite and it will ***** your girls back to normal. I don't know why fullscreen flips girls. I do this in all my .scn files as flipped girls make me crazy. Nothing worse than backwards tattoos.

and that's no alien that's Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.

@HombreSinSombra

Oh, I like that one, its a fun one. I had seen it earlier ShaderToy but did not take it.

With respect to adapting the shaders I find it simplest to add these few lines to the beginning of any shader

uniform float u_Elapsed; // The elapsed time in seconds
uniform vec2 u_WindowSize; // Window dimensions in pixels

// Use defines here rather than edit the body of the code.

#define iGlobalTime u_Elapsed
#define iResolution u_WindowSize

That way you don't have to change anything else if, as of often the case, the only problems are the use of iGlobalTime and iResolution.

The other two problem references are iMouse and iChanneln, where n is 0, 1, 2 or 3.

iMouse is, as you thought, for tracking the mouse position and mouse clicks. Often that bit of code can just be removed or replaced with something that automatically acts as if the mouse has moved. I have used both in my adaptions.

The iChanneln references seems to be commonly used to get some sort of "noise" input. Sometimes I have been able to replace the code they are in with what are very very poor random number generators, but for the most part I have postponed doing anything with shaders that use them as there were plenty of others I could adapt instead. I only started doing this after setting up the web site at Christmas and I tackled the easy stuff first.

I intend to proceed by finding out exactly what the interfaces are for iMouse and iChanneln and then produce functions that can be used to fake out their actions. By using these together with the use of a few #define it should be possible to adapt any shader from ShaderToy by pasting in a fixed piece of boilerplate code at the top of each of them - with perhaps a few parameters that the user can twiddle with to control how the iMouse and iChanneln replacements behave. That way there will be no need to edit any of the ShaderToy shaders code other than to add the adaption block of code at the top.

@Buzzy: Thanks. I'll watch out for that! :)

@Beast: Looking cool too! I'll get around to those later :)

As a, 'not yet' programmer, I've been playing all day with a shader I got from ShaderToy last night. I used Beast's instructions to change 'Uniform' terms so they'll work with VG. Then I was thrown a curve ball and there was an extra function that kept on throwing up errors, 'iMouse'. After a ton of trial and error, I simply commented out everything with that function and it worked! Woohoo! I think it was designed to be an interactive, mouse controlled function? Anyway, it's a bit of a silly, fun shader that I called, 'Pervy Alien'. I still need to figure out how to get rid of jerkiness with some of the clips. @TheEmu has been a star, trying to help with this on the Flame shader. Thanks buddy, I'll figure it out mañana :)

Anyway, it's on GoogleDrive if you want it:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0q3PJ8LyTh8SWgxank5Q3dmNkE/view?usp=sharing

The shader rotates back and forth, ogling the girls ;)

Edit: Is there any way to control which side the girls enter from in Fullscreen? For me they ALWAYS enter from the left now...

Here are three that I've been toying with..
I finished up the Fireworks one, just in time for the New Year..

These again do not have a Model displayed, I leave that up to you to add your own Model Clipsprite

http://scenes.virtuastripper.net/Shades4.zip

Happy New Year.

To Hombre .. Spartan will be more likely a part of Win 10 and it's still under development, as the news goes: "It's possible that Microsoft will demo Spartan at its upcoming Windows 10 press event in January."

And it's said to have a look and feel similar to Chrome or Firefox.

@TheEmu et al, when @Alexisg announced version 58 beta today he said
'Full Screen log: We're now adding all Open GL functions report to the log'..
I presume this will mean any GLSL shader script conflicts are going to be reported in the log as well. Is that correct ? I am looking forward to clear unambiguous debugging descriptions so we can track through the code and ameliorate our mistakes.

I dont care about fake boobs! some of my favourites have fake boobs and i love them! Some of my least favourite who i want to throw to garbage have natural boobs. so i dont care:) I want her to give me one .. flight? :)

At this point I'm starting to look forward to models I don't want! :) This is putting a strain on the old wallet. Well done!

oh boy !!!!! ms.lynna's first show not even here yet and u r talking bad about her al ready. shame,shame.

@Hemingford - And Ms. Lynna's Card 0047 is called "Natural Beauty." I couldn't agree with you more. Had she been natural, I would've bought all of her cards, in a heartbeat. Emphasis on "would've."

I have no interest, whatsoever, in "unnatural" women. In fact, I've been deleting their cards from my collection - especially if their scars are obvious.

Going a little off topic here but useful info anyway :) Will Spartan be available for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or only 10?

@Bad4: I too always come back to IE but Chrome is a handy back-up if IE fails for some weird reason.

You guys mention the problems with ShaderToy not running all the shaders on the home page. In IE, all I got was one shader showing and the others were black boxes with 'Shader Error'. When I fired up Chrome, ALL were running nicely. So seems a compatibility problem rather than a GPU problem?

I just took a closer look at Ms Lynna. My old pal google tells me she has fake boobs. What a pity! Could have been nice... :-(

Ms. Lynna? Wow, what a woman! Can't wait to see her first show!

@Wyldanimal I read that too but fortunately they will still package the last version of IE along with Spartan for legacy reasons until existing websites get any modifications they need to run properly in Spartan.

I've tried both Firefox and Chrome in the past but always come back to IE because so many websites are tested to work with it before they consider anything else. Microsoft put features into IE, liked tabbed browsing, which was the only reason I tried anything else anyway.

One website that was supposedly written specifically for Chrome and used features that weren't supposed going to work on IE crashed Chrome when I visited it, and yet IE worked 100% perfectly. So that was when I decided not to bother loading extra software that I didn't need.

Danke schön.

dort hinein posten, dann schaltet dir ein Moderator eine Installation wieder frei:

http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?foId=4&ftId=28643&forum_search=too%20many%20installs

@Wyldanimal

I agree, browsing ShaderToy can be a problem. However I have just noticed that you can do the following

https://www.shadertoy.com/results?query=&sort=newest&from=12&num=3

which, while awkward, can at least reduce the strain on the GPU.

I might even set up a local page on my lap top with just links to the newest dozen or so with one shader per link.

Ich hatte vor Weihnachten einen Festplattenchrash so dass alles weg war.

Neue Festplatte gekauft und angefangen alles neu zu installieren.

Ich sollte erwähnen ich habe auch ein Laptop was ich aber nur auf der Arbeit nutze,
da es mein privates ist, ist dort natürlich auch Virtual Girld drauf.

Nun wollte ich auf meinem PC, der zu Hause steht natürlich auch wieder VirtualGirl installieren.

GEHT ABER NICHT, ich darf es nur zweimal installieren.

da die alte Festplatte kaput ist kann ich es aber verständlicher Weise
nicht deinstallieren.

Ich kann mich hier einlogen aber das war es dann auch.

Es gibt scheinbar keine Möglichkeit den Support direkt anzuschreiben,
was ich ehrlich gesagt schon recht traurig finde.

Ich möchte schließlich nur das nutzen können wofür ich bezahlt habe.

Ps. ich hatte übrigens auch vorher nachgefragt ob Pc + Laptop erlaubt sind,
worauf man mir sagte, dass das ok ist wenn nicht beide gleichzeitig online sind.

Ms.Lynna makes me very happy, especially Flying First Class!

oooooh yaaaaaaaaa.

I wish Shadertoy.com had a List view, that din't try to run 10 shaders all at once.
At Home, My PC can't handle it.. at all...
But my Work PC is okay.. but still stutters with 10 shaders running all at once.

I usually Right Click a shader to open it iin a new tab.
That Single shader is fine at home and work.
although there are some that really push the GPU to it's limits..

PS.
Microsoft is coming out with a NEW Chrome like Browser..
code named Spartan for Windows 10
this will not be a new IE browser, but a totally new HTML5 compliant browser.

I have Anna Polina Sexy legs it was hard to find good photos so many to choose from so here are my favorite one that I like the most.

Just a quick note. I was having problems with the Shadertoy website. I signed-up, logged in and still had very little showing up and then IE froze. :(

I nearly always use IE11 for everything but occasionally I find a site that doesn't like it :(

I loaded up Chrome and had no problems then :) Does everybody in the open source community ***** Bill Gates that much ??? :( Happy new year to Bill :)

SUPER freue mich schon auf MS LYNNA das sie zu VG kommt

Update. I did not see Rita69's latest posts until now. Definitely willing to extend the closing date/time to allow all to enjoy their vacation time and still join in the voting. Won't set a new closing date until we see the response of new voters.

btw @Quixilver, I agree with Rita re your choices.

@Rita69, I have no idea how many women voted. My guess is that you may be our only female voter so far. How far can we trust the info members provide Totem on joining?

Higher resolution is most likely a big factor in popularity of later models, I would think.

Profound thanks for making shadertoy scripts compatible with VGPlayer to @TheEmu, @Wyldanimal, @Zebrazuk & have a great New Year's Eve everyone.

Maybe rough...(above pic ).. but for folks without graphic software needing a quick text splash screen for credits maybe give below a try:

ciao

Does anyone know if Ria has more than one VG card?

Verry interesting.....but stupid. Maybe.

I added the votes cast only by the last 10 members to post - zetheral to Quixilver - and some may find the result interesting.... or stupid.

awesome girl!! yes

I'll check those out in a minute buddy, thanks.

I'm showing here what I tweaked in the flame shader file and a S-cap of my latest tweak :)

Same to you buddy. Alles Gute im neuen Jahr!

Thanks @quixilver. If I could go back and cast my votes again, I'm sure some of yours would be included. Your votes have caused some ***** position changes near the top of the poll.

I had intended the previous set of ShaderToy scenes to be my last contribution for some time as I have to go back to work. However I realised that I had three simple ShaderToy shaders that are very appropriate for this time of year and were ready to be made compatible with VG.

So I have just uploaded them to TheEmusNest.eu where you can get them from the ShaderToy Scenes Zips directory as ShaderToy Scenes (Fireworks).zip. They are not the best fireworks simulation that I have seen, but fireworks are always appropriate at New Year. Just unzip the files and put them with the other ShaderToy scenes.

Unlike the last few days I will not be able to contact this forum regularly for the next few months, but will try to check in every week or so.

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year, TheEmu.

OMG!!! who is she?? have you ever seen her on casting thread? anyone? i am really interested .. how could i miss that Goddess? really excited to see her!!!

@HombreSinSombra

I forgot to add my appreciation of your scene, a beautiful piece of work. It's exactly the sort of thing I was hoping people would use the shaders for.
