@stefnev1 I understand this argument but I think it would be fairer to reserve the "prestigious" gifts (joker for example) to members with a verified iStripper account.

@TheEmu, @EverthangForever

Thank you for your explanations. I haven't fully digested them yet, but I will.
The simple question arose because I want to use a mask so as to allow an animate clause to use loopforward in fading out 1 clipsprite for another. I found the simple quad works, but that with a shader did not.

@ward666999 and @ComteDracula
These members are verified on Discord, they clicked on the iStripper icon in the channel Rules and verification.
By wining a giveaway, Totem hopes that they will become active members on iStripper. It's the same way when a store gives you a gift to invite you to buy something after that. It's my personal vision of the Giveaway there.

A warm welcome here to you both @Blacklight291 and @davidjansen ✌
Have fun with iStripper and don't forget to read the help of the product by clicking the "i" with a circle at the top right of the GUI.

Des gagnants qui ne sont pas des membres.

C'est n'importe quoi.

Je trouve qu'il y a vraiment une grosse perte depuis ce transfert vers discord.

Surtout qu'il n'y a presque plus de créateurs.


Winners who are not members.

It's all a bunch of nonsense.

I think there is really a big loss since this transfer to discord.

Especially since there are almost no creators left.

Returning to @DrDoom9"s original question..

If one puts a shader fragment in a quad, the opacity of the quad connot be controlled ?

As @TheEmu has described..the quad's opacity cannot be controlled using .scn parameters
within the same node that the shader is acting because the shader takes over many of those properties.

However for building scene effects, one can refer the output of that shader into a subsequent
shaderless sprite node, where that output is able to be affected by the sprite node's parameters like opacity or animate.

I would have thought animate clauses are run in sprite nodes without any shader being a direct parameter of them.

My guess is that they are run but that the results that they create are not used if a user supplied shader is specified.

The most obvious way to implement the animate clauses would be as a "compute shader" (this is something that is run at a very early stage in the graphics pipeline before even the geometry and vertex shaders are run) in order to calculate simple global variables. It is even posssible that the values are theoretically available as fragment shader inputs (in the form of uniform variables, like the elapsed time which another such variable output from the "compute shader" stage) but if so I have no idea if this is how Totem have implemented it or, if so, swhat names they would have.

Hello! Just started here

I would have thought animate clauses are run in sprite nodes without any shader being a direct parameter of them.

To expand n my previous answer

A quad's colour and opacity as specified in the .scn file are passed a fragment shader as the four components of the predefined vec4 gl_Color. A shader's output is whatever the shader assigns to the vec4 gl_FragColor.

Typically a shader will calculate the output based on various inputs, one of which may be gl_Color. If it uses any components of gl_Color as part of the calculation then the valuses specified for Color and Opactity the .scn file will affect the output from the shader.

In many shaders the sahder will first calculate a some result and then multiply it by gl_Color, eg..

vec4 Result;
Result = The result of some complec calculation not innvolving gl_Color;
gl_FragColor = Result * gl_Color;

This multiplication by gl_Color is usualy the last thing done in the shader. If it is not already being done then adding

gl_FragColor = gl_FragColor * gl_Color;

as the final statement will provide the desired effect.

In my earlier post I stated that animate clauses for color and opacity will have no effect if a shader isused - I am no longer sure about that (though I seem toremember that it is true) I have no time to double check due to the snooker semi-finals taking precedence.

After the camera is declared, It depends on the shader. If the shader properties make
say black transparent, then the rendered quad will have that property.
To make all the shader output be affected by a .scn opacty setting, I usually have to first render
the quad with the shader in a framebuffer and apply the opacity setting to that outcome
in a sprite node later. as below..

framebuffer {
id: Torus2
size: 1920, 1080
pos: 0, 0, 0
quad {
size: 1920, 1080
pos: 0, 0, 0
hotspot: 0.0, 0.0
shader: fragment, Shaders/HaleyHalcyon/undulaMod01.fsh
}
}

camera {
type: 3D
angle: 45
pos: 0, 0, 1280

Sprite {
source: Torus2
size: 1920, 1080
hotspot: 0.5, 0.5
pos: 0, 0, 0
opacity: 0.2 // <----here
scale: 1, -1
}

If one puts a shader fragment in a quad, the opacity of the quad connot be controlled.

You can specify a colour and opacity for the quad but these will be inputs to the shader and only the values assigned by the shader itself will be used. You can read the input values and assign their values to the output within the shader. Animate clauses for the colour and opaciry will have no effect as these are effectvely parameters to a default shader that is not used if you provide your own.

If one puts a shader fragment in a quad, the opacity of the quad connot be controlled.

Hello everyone, I've been here for a few months now and I have been enchanted with the girls.

@skipvacuum

Welcome to the forum.

Recommendations are difficult. We all have different tastes and the iStripper team attempts to cater for them all. The most important thing for most people is that they find the performer attractive, Then it's down to the performance. Some people want to see the girl masturbating and they go for xxx cards, where some are striptease fans and they prefer non-xxx. More xxx cards have been released in the last year and they often have 20mins+ of porn content, though many have good dance content too. Cards produced before about 2015 are lower resolution and there's a whole load of early low resolution stuff, that is strictly for collectors and won't be visible to you untill you have a large collection.

I suggest that you look through the Girls Store and click on any you fancy. Look at the tags, which indicate what categories the show falls under (big boobs, naked feet, cosplay, whatever-floats-your-boat) Check out the comments and download the previews. Check to see if the girl has more than 6 shows, because those who do were so popular that they were invited back for a second set (or 3rd, 4th, 5th....).

Check out the Discord site for pictures and news about upcoming releases. Beware of the games that run each Friday - they suck money.

Welcome on iStripper @skipvacuum 😀
For recommandations, it would be cool if you let the community knowing your tastes about the girls and the cards (blonde, brunette, small breasts, large breasts, kind of shows as XXX or erotic, etc.).
Have fun with iStripper 😎

Hello @KoMaPoB
Welcome on this forum and have fun with iStripper 😎

hi everyone

Hello,

New here , after ads for iStripper kept popping up on my desktop that
i enjoyed , decided to check it out and enjoying it so far. Would love some recomendations.

@imhorny5555 yes I love her dirty sexy talking in those 👍
My guess, not checked or anything, I should be in bed now, but perhaps her last card is a g series 😪
The NFT series available only via the Dolz crypto currency. Some one will no doubt confirm that or not. 😕

Is there a reason that Atlantis Deep's final show isn't in the upcoming shows yet? from a bit of searching I haven't seen word that she would only have 5 or that it was delayed for a particular reason.

Just curious as she is one of my new favorites. I love Aussies.

@spoophmaniac

@zanitev

I assume there must be another program for the actual coding

The "other program" is a simple text editor such as Notepad or, better, Notepad++.

Each scene is described in a file with a .scn filename extension. These files are simple text files written in what I call the "scene definition language". They do two main things

Firstly they define what external images and clips are used in the scene - this is done by a series of Texture (for images) and Clip declarations.

Secondly they define where each of these previously declared items appear. This is done by a series of nested nodes of various types (Camera, Node, Quad, Sprite, ClipSprite, ClipNameSprite and Light).

Most of these nodes can have optional "animate" clauses defining how various properties are to vary in time. This gives us the ability to move and rotate the nodes relative to each other and to dynamically vary their dimensions, colour and opacity. In the case of the camera node you can also vary the direction in which it is pointed and the width of its field of view. This is how panning, tracking, zooming fading etc. are achieved.

Further, more advanced, "special effects" can be made by using so called "fragment shaders" which are short programs written in the GSL language.

Totem only provide very basic instruction on how to do all this but some of us have looked int it in more detail much f which is described in this thread or in the two that @Wyldanimal suggested in his post.

Many examples to study can be downloaded from his site

https://scenes.virtuastripper.net

and others from mine

@ComteDracula
cette suggestion est une possibilité intéressante...
Peut-être en exécutant deux shaders à des vitesses différentes dans
framebuffers et alternant leur opacité dans
le nœud sprite post-caméra. Synchronisation de cela
serait le problème et nécessiterait le niveau de compétence de @TheEmu.

that suggestion is an interesting possibility...
Maybe by running two shaders at different speeds in
framebuffers and alternating their opacity in
the post camera sprite node. Synchronizing that
would be the problem & require the skill level of @TheEmu.

Interesting scene on the roller coaster. 😊

I wondered if the speed of the background could have been variable. Example faster on the way down, and slower on the way back up?

Intéressante la scène sur les montagnes russes. 😊

Je me suis demandé si la vitesse de l'arrière plan aurait pu être variable. Exemple plus rapide en descente, et plus lente lors de la remontée ?

Bon à savoir @ComteDracula . Merci

Good to know @ComteDracula . Thanks 👍

Thank You @Number6 for your reply and information. We will read the links you posted for us. I assume we will need more than just Paint Shop Pro and Notepad++ to design quality background full screens. I assume there must be another program for the actual coding in which we were hoping to acquire information on unless these programs you suggested is all that is needed. We are very interested in camera zooming and adding special effects to our screens with single and multiple models in our screen designs. Nevertheless the links you provided will be a great starting point and for that we both send you Big Hugs and Thanks!

All the scenes compile well. Thank you so much @EverthangForever. 😊

Toutes les scènes compilent bien. Merci beaucoup @EverthangForever. 😊

@Zantiev

To create the backgrounds for fullscreen scenes you may need some sort of image editing software. I use PaintShop Pro but others have had success using GIMP which is free.

https://www.gimp.org/

Alternatively you can downloaded suitable backgrounds from the internet although some of these may be copyrighted.

To create and edit scenes you need a simple text editor (Windows Notepad will do but Notepad++ is a much better tool and it is free).

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/

The scene files are called "scene name".scn (where the scene name makes it easily identifiable) but they are just simple text files containing a list of instructions to run the scene.

Some of the post by @Wyldanimal are really helpful.

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/27410/1?post=428016

HTH

Scenes are located in the "data" folder not the "models" folder.

The data folder I think should be in the vghd folder unless you have moved it.

Within the data folder should be a folder called "scenes". The individual scenes are then located in subfolders.

In the GUI if you click on th monitor icon on the top right of the menu bar it should open up apage showing the available scenes. On the top left of this screen is a scene count and a couple of icons, Click on the second icon (the folder icon) this should open widows explorer at the scenes directory. All the scenes should be located there.

HTH.

I have a slightly different problem where when I look at the settings I do not have a choice of the different scenes available. I only show scene 1 and none others. I have checked my external hard drive where I have the models directed to and all the sceens are loaded. I also have them on my laptop hard drive yet i cannot choose which scene I would like to show. I can right click to get to different scenes but, it changes the girls at the same time. Where should I locate the scenes directory in order to choose the different scenes? It is currently under vghd.

Hello everyone! Girlfriend and I are really interested in learning how to create our own version of full screen backgrounds for iStripper to make our intimate experiences even more memorable but we have no idea on how to create them or where to begin. What programs are needed to create these amazing backgrounds that so many members are creating and incorporating them into the iStripper program? We don't have any programming experience but between the both of us I am sure we can figure it out with some guidance and tips from the amazing creators of these spectacular scenes in these forums. Much Love from the both of us!

lukaszr thankt you.

iS-Clip-Player is also from Wyldanimal.

Hello everyone !

Lovely ears. I hope this outfit is also used in a card available for purchase.

yes,..exactly. I meant 'inability to attach' the other channels in the ways done in WebGL platforms.

Imho, the biggest limitations of the iStripper fullscreen platform are that it only
allows a single channel for seed textures, with no live mouse, no embedable sound
and few keyboard interactions.

I do not understand what you mean by "a single channel for seed textures". Each fragment shader can have up to 5 input channels and you can use as many shaders as you want each with their own input channels.

The inability to attach these channels to the mouse, the keyboard, an audio stream or video other than an iStripper clip is, howeve,r something that is much missed - as is, to a lesser extent, the ability to output to an audio stream.

I have download iS-Clip-Player somewhere on this forum (I can't find the topic anymore)
