I agree!! what is up with these new demos? we only get 2, as opposed to the 3 that there used to be, and now every model is doing this beckoning gesture?! I have turned down more hot babes lately because of this, which some director at totem seems to think is a good idea. wrong! we pay to see these girls dance and strip, and that still needs to be represented in thier demos. what is up with Totem Lately? as stated above, this seems to have started with the dorcel cards, and now there is just no variety at all. so, why should I spend my money, Totem?

I just deleted my last post as it was getting too complicated. I've rehashed my Fire and Water scene using many tweaks including Beast's clipNameSprite code from his 'Shades' album (with a few more tweaks) and also added lezardo's new framebuffer with antiAlias shader code. This really does make a difference to older cards in particular :) Thanks to both of you guys, mucho!

The download is on Beast's sharing thread.

So this is how my Fire and Water 3 looks...

Edit: Oh. I deleted the shadows under the models. Most clips worked just fine but some of the older cards were way out of whack :(

I've posted a spin-off of this thread to the ideas forum with the title Add Support For Secondary Models Folder. I've included a poll.

I would be more than happy to become one of the first beta testers, Starryk. ;-) But no hurry, take your time and I really appreciate your efforts!

Where can I download the beta or final profram?
Thanks in advance.

I haven't used this awesome addon in quiet awhile for obvious software changes of course. But I would like to request a future feature. If it's even possible that is. A "continuous looping" option of created playlists. I hope you get what I mean. Instead of the app simply stopping when it's done with a playlist mabey loop back to the beginning infinitely or I stop it manually. If it can't be done it doesn't matter I'll still use it when it usable again. Thank you for your great app sir.

I have one more idea to add to this discussion, expanding on what's been said in the past (and the future):
------
posted by doubleDiamond @Virt4B in a future off-topic thread:
http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?foId=8&ftId=29503
best solution I see is the possibility to use more storage folders like discussed in this thread:
(pointing here, to this thread)
It would be very cool if the software could handle more storage folders on different external drives at the same time.
That would be a great invention for the future of this software cause data will keep on growing...
------
In this thread, @WyldAnimal discusses the possibility of splitting the models folder over 2 hard drives, but it's technical, risky and cumbersome for new users. If I understand correctly, I can see that his example could, in theory, be multiplied to allow for expansion across several HD's, perhaps with a separate desktop icon for each drive. This option still limits access to the clips on only 1 drive at a time, per instance of the VG software. (I don't know if you can run more than 1 instance - not my point here anyway.) It's a work-around to the software. As is the suggestion that I buy a bigger drive each year to replace the one I already have.

Expanding on @Virt4B's thoughts, if Totem would expand the selection box to include the possibility to add several "location of my shows" instead of just one and write all of those locations to the registry. In theory, you could then use several USB drives to save your models and still be able to access all clips seamlessly in one instance of VG. The aim here is to incorporate this idea into an idiot-proof program-controlled spanning of several drives. Then again, maybe that's more trouble for the developers.

(Sorry to dig up old memories by resurrecting this thread... Perhaps someone will adjust my knowledge of the rules of etiquette?)

I will be unavailable for the Next week or so due to an unexpected family issue.
So this project has been placed on hold till I can devote some time towards it.

To all my friends who have sent me well wishes. Thank you.
see you all soon.

I hope you get double diamond status, SweetAngel. And good luck to you, on the triple diamond status.

Thank you very much, Starryk! And take your time.

It has taken me a long time but you will also create once !

http://scenes.virtuastripper.net/Fire-And-Water-2.zip

I've redone this scene as I originally intended it to look. Now the fragment shader is working on the background image, along with the vertex shader, instead of on the name or model :)

Edit: Ignore last upload. Rehashed scene just uploaded:

http://scenes.virtuastripper.net/HSS-Fire-And-Water-3.zip

This has a few more tweaks including @lezardo's antiAlias shader :)

Ok sorry that i didn't finish my modifications in time.
I encountered some problems that i hadn't expected.
But good news is that i solved the problems.
Still there are some things that remain to be done.
For now i will put the virtualgirl and virtuagirl interactive cards into the product filter for virtuagirl and will not make a seperate filter for vg interactive. Same goes for deskbabes
That is on my todo list however.
I will add the command next clip to the systray menu as that should be quick to make.
So with 24 hour delay you will find the new version here. But if ever a version was beta then this one. I did some testing which was one thing that costed much time today as i have to watch at least 3 clips in a row to make realistic tests.
But this new beta has many internal changes in the source code i made over the last year. Mainly to make the code easier to maintain. You will be my beta testers if you will use the new version.
One interisting thing is that my addon is able to play the transition clips at will even in full size.
Theoretically it should be possible to use the fitting transitions to connect the clips. but that will be a hell of work so this is more of a long time goal.
For the beta version the transition clips will be filtered out as otherwise they would be played one after another and that makes no sense at all.
so thats for the status update folks. Tomorrow your wait should finally be over.

@SweetAngel - Your goal of 750 cards is very close, well done! I too hope to reach double diamond status, but you will beat me to it :)

Finally it is almost time there I am only 10 cards to get my goal of 750 cards for Double Diamond has achieved status, I always had to open a theme to because this is my first big goal at Virtua Girl and DeskBabes, my next goal is to then have 1500 cards and because to achieve triple diamond status whether they are normal Vg cards, Classic Vg cards or DeskBabes cards, this is of course subject to my letzes Double diamond status I hope you annoyed that not a bit but it has been as said above my goal or rather my dream and now I am only 10 cards up to the age Tuesday I'll probably have reached at the latest!

Best regards your HoneyCocoKiss!

Eek! Just realized I had a major typo:

Original:
3 points - Sandra H
2 points - Alizee, Ferrara Gomez, Sharka Blue, Gine Gershon, Lorena
1 point - Aika May, Aletta Ocean, Anna Tatu, Clair Castel, Dayzee, Erica Fontes, Jana Cova, Axelle Parker, Eve Angel, Isuzzu, Jessie Jazz, Jewel, Krystel, Little Caprice, Lola, Marie, Melena Tara

Corrected:
3 points - Sandra H
2 points - Alizee, Ferrara Gomez, Sharka Blue, Gina Gerson (DB only), Lorena
1 point - Aika May, Aletta Ocean, Anna Tatu, Clair Castel, Dayzee, Erica Fontes, Jana Cova, Axelle Parker, Eve Angel, Isuzzu, Jessie Jazz, Jewel, Krystel, Little Caprice, Lola, Marie, Melena Tara

My grand total for now is 1915 cards made of VG, DB and *one* Classic card. I do not think I am near any next theoretical level yet, but since Totem always makes the levels so that there will be no retroactive bonuses for crossing level barriers it would be rather nice if they announced next levels NOW. Didn't get any bonuses for any diamond levels and while I am 'fine' with it I would not want it to happen again.

Update on Sunday, February 1st, 2015.

68 members have posted their votes, with most, but not all, using the full 30 points maximum.
37 of these voting members have at least 1 unique selection. I will try to list the survivors next week.

Here is the link to the latest spreadsheet, dated 31/01/15.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7r9520l5jp0thoz/30-PointPerfect%20310115.xlsx?dl=0

In summary, Anna Tatu still holds a slender lead over Melisa, with Caprice now well adrift in 3rd place. Melena Tara has moved to 4th ahead of Sabrisse. Tess Lyndon has moved into the top 20 and consolidated her place there. Lola, with 21 points and in equal 22nd place, is the highest placed model to have not been given 3 points yet, but 16 members have voted for her.

A scene called Platform with replaceable background.
Feel free to add your own images ;-)

http://scenes.virtuastripper.net/ MrCrowley - Platform.zip

Here are the 30 points for my favourite Ladies here on VG:

Isizzu - 3
Lola Reve - 3
Cherries - 3
Mia Sollis - 3
Nephael - 2
Abigaile Johnson - 2
Naomi Nevena - 2
Dominika C - 2
Gracy-***** - 2
Miela - 1
Anna Tatu - 1
Chelsea French - 1
Sandra Shine - 1
Anissa Kate - 1
Dayzee - 1
Aika May - 1
Eufrat - 1

First, let me say that I have most of the models. I also believe that there are so many great ones that I cannot justify giving any one model more than 1 point (not even my favorites). Also, I have only taken VG into account (thus no Classic or DB... which, would actually change a couple on this list), and even then my initial list was over 60 models. Which, made it very difficult to narrow it down to just 30 (and the 30 I chose might change next week as some were so close). Finally, this list is in alphabetical order, and not in my order of preference (there was no need, as everyone only gets one point).

So, at request, I give my girls....

Anissa Kate - 1
Anna Tatu - 1
Antonia - 1
Chelsea French - 1
Chikita - 1
Cindy Dollar - 1
Dayzee - 1
Eufrat - 1
Gracy-***** - 1
Isizzu - 1
Jana Cova - 1
Kami - 1
Katia de Lys - 1
Katy Angel - 1
Linet A - 1
Little Caprice - 1
Mandy Dee - 1
Marica Hase - 1
Melena Tara - 1
Melisa - 1
Misa - 1
Morgane - 1
Nataly Von - 1
Nikita - 1
Sabrisse - 1
Sandra H - 1
Sarka - 1
Viola - 1
Zafira - 1
Zara - 1

So, there you have it, 30 points for 30 models.

I now still missing 15 cards until I reach for Double Diamond status as I said I'm getting closer to my goal and I do not buy my cards in the store but only of the demos that I do 99% more so!

I greet you all your honeycocokiss

Weabul,
You are welcome.

Hi again.

No not finished yet. right now Melisa is dancing for me in the last clip of a 3 clip playlist
It all looks good so far. Replay is implemented.
Also the function to play a different clip while a playlist is active.
It will now start instantly and not wait until the current clip is done.
In fact many things are much easier this way.
I always know which clip is playing now and which clip i will put into the queue next. so for a replay i just tell to play the clip that is playing now again instead of using the clip that should be next. after the replay it will be the next clip unless you order to replay again.
Play clip is similar i just replace the clip that is playing currently with the clip the user used the play clip button on and the next clip to be played will still be the one that i already selected before.

Now only next show, next scene, next cliptype functions need to be adjusted. and i will add a next clip function that will just make the next clip already chosen and shown in the tooltip as next clip play instantly.
Thats so simple now its really laughable. so I give you that new feature too. But you have to wait til tomorrow. You US / Canadian folks should find it, when you have had your breakfast and the europeans in the early afternoon tomorrow.

Also so far i only tested with old shows no interactive shows yet. once it works for the old ones that will be the next test. Maybe i have to remove the intermediate clips from the playlists. Have to make some tests once the old shows work as before (in fact better than before)

OK, here's my 2 cents worth to add in to the mix.

3 points: Melisa, Anna Tatu, Tess Lyndon, Lucynova, Isizzu
2 points: Ashley Robbins, Lola, Taylor Shay, Valentina
1 point: Carol G, Sharka Blue, Misa, Katty, Playful *****, Aliz, Zuzana

Yes me to I like Krystel

3 points: Lorena
2 points: Gracy-*****, Little Caprice, Malena Tara, Melissa
1 point: Abigail Johnson, Anna, Ava Courcelles, Deny, Domenika C, Eufrat, Goldie, Gwen, Jana Cova, Kami, Lauren Crist, Lola Reve, Nikita Valentin, Silvie Luca, Suzie Q, Sweet Cat, Sylvie Deluxe, Tess Lyndon, Victoria Sweet

Thanks Oz

*freu wie'n kleines Kind* :D

@JonC001 Thanks for joining the thread! Your experienced insight is very much appreciated. I thought since you were so busy in the development threads that you might not have time to share here. Perhaps your above post and the various levels could be posted as a sticky in the new user forum, too?

@Weabul, @Br.BeeKeeper
I agree with Weabul about music. Like VirtuGirlSong. But only one? Think are much more. If girls dont talk with us in VG. Listen breathtaking music. Yea
watch show and listen sexy dance music. You will dont like?
I know we can add. That is good! But….
Hugs

I dug up an old thread with yet another option that I hadn't considered. Seems like 5 or 6 years ago, there were a group of musicians chatting about creating their own music for sharing with other members. There are a couple of links to an upload site they were sharing, but those sites are either no longer in use, or in another language. Yet another site referenced in that thread has had it's URL replaced by a chat line.

Maybe they're still users but inactive in the forums:
http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?foId=8&ftId=5166

One of them posted again in that thread just over a year ago. I resurrected the thread yet again. We'll see if anything grows out of that.

Quite honestly the finger beckoning by every friggin model anymore is just annoying!! how can totem possibly think that this is sexy or makes me want to buy $50.00 worth of cards right now this second?! it needs to STOP totem! I'm sure there are many others who feel the same, and is the main reason I just don't buy cards anymore. it simply takes away the fun having every damn model act the same. this started with the dorcel cards and has just gone too far, imho.

who ? is this model ( vgPNG/e0081c ) on harshies site shes HOT !!!!!!. let the woman hunt begin.

There is a way to record and save ANY sound that your computer can play thru your speakers. This is a very powerful program. You can edit and ***** any recording. You can save the recording as a MP3 file and it works 100%. Best of all, it's open source and free! You can download from here:

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Edit: Read the info files. You will need to also download and install the Lame for MP3 add-on. All is explained very well :)

Sexy Krystel

Yes we want more Black Beautys

MrBeeKeeper It would still be great if you could help me for the time I have on for demos whole new cards which you can see if you look at my collection of course I know that you the cards also for the same price in the store gets the sometime become new but I prefer to always buy at the demos I still have 2.70 credits go there now another 2 cards I always pay the account goes on schellsten and is best and then I could daweil no money except Paysafe but I afford the problem is who is made stupid the cheapest 7 euros in Austria and I can only buy a 10 or 20 euros!

But help is not, unfortunately,

Best regards HoneyCocoKiss

Hi Guys!

Of course I know how many cards there, etc. but thank ye have listed the times as well. I have just set a goal I want to achieve for Double Diamond status!

@The3LeggedMan Good to know. I'm guessing that Totem holds a license for the music, but I don't know the scope of that agreement. Obviously, the length of a song is edited by Totem to the length of the clips. Certain songs seem to be similar, but at a different tempo, in different videos. They wouldn't ***** the tunes without a license from the author. I know that I could just download generic porn song titles from anywhere, but I thought I'd check this option too. They're good tunes. Totem has done well. Maybe they're available free from Totem. (shrug)

@ET: The use of model name perspective was inspired by @No.6. I was trying to figure out a way to angle the names and after seing a scene from @no.6, I accidentally put in a wrong parameter and realised that we can skew the names! Thanks to No.6 for that one :D

For the brave coders out there, it's quite simple:

To get the same effect, in the .scn file, for the clipNameSprite, type this:

scale: 6.0, 3.0, 0 //x,y,z parameters
rot: -90, 90, -90 // Rotate angles thru all dimensions, x,y,z
source: clip // Obviously the current playing clip :)

You can play with these paramaters to achieve a larger or smaller effect too :)

Have fun!

Hi guys!

I started to implement the necessary changes today.
I am not done yet. The basics are working but the special functions probably not.
It's all a bit complicated as i still want to be able to show the next clip that will be played as tooltip.
So for starters i have to select 2 clips at the beginning as one will immediately start to play and the other needs to be shown as next clip.
I have to check every function like next show, next scene, replay to see if it still works.
Thats the part i plan to do tomorrow after work.

If all goes will i might finish tomorrow but no promises.
Otherwise i should be able to finish on the weekend.

I will keep you updated here!
Starryk

@Starryk Let me add my own hip, hip, hooray! to the thread.

@Hombre woohoo ! Love the water ripples especially with music and the perspective model name is an amazing new..extra good effect ty !!

Fantastic music on Deskbabe bonus video Card 301 Gina Devine & Iwia. The same musicians also on Deskbabecard 297, 302 and 304. Who are they? Does Totem have more of their music?
