Thanks yet again, Beast. Till now, I've been using Notepad Plus Plus with your language file only for shaders. For the .scn files, I'm still using Windows Notepad. For now, I'll stick with this as I think it'll help me to be more careful and I'll learn proper structure more quickly :)

I've noted from many .scn files that some people are not too neat with their layouts. By that, I mean that the code is staggered all over the place. I now try to keep all my code in line vertically. All the open and close brackets are vertically in line as much as possible, especially the close brackets, hard to the left. This makes it easier to spot a missing one. This is fun, guys! :D

Pics:
1) Nodes with Minus signs next to them
2) I closed the Quad node. Only it Shrank. So My Ending bracket is ok.
3) I deleted the ending bracket, then closed the Quad node. Oops.. all my code shrank..

Using Notepad Plus Plus with my Language file
makes finding these a bit easier..

For Each Node with an Open { and a Close }
you will notice a little - minus sign at the start of the Node.

Click on it..
It will shrink the Whole node..

If more code Shrinks than what you were expecting...
then you missed a closing Bracket

Yw, my friend. I enjoy problem solving like this. Your tiny mistake is helping me (and probably others) to learn! Since Beast mentioned this thing about being careful with brackets in particular as the latest Betas are less forgiving, I carefully check each node to make sure it's opened and closed correctly. I may still make mistakes elsewhere tho! :(

I'm on a case of beer this evening so I'll join your hangover tomorrow :)

Here's a thought... How about a live, scene editor debug kit?

@HombreSinSombra

Thanks for your detailed investigation and finding the problem.

Its frustrating sometimes when you have something that works in one version but not in another. I was going to start searching through the code tomorrow (I'm entertaining a couple of bottles of wine at the moment).

I'll be more carful with the closing brackets in future. It's strange I didn't pick it up with notepad plus plus - it normally highlights the brackets.

Those scenes progressed one from the other so, as you have found, what was missing in one will also be missing in the others.

The one where the model rotates also occurred for the same reason - a missing bracket. I thought it looked good so I left it like that.

When I've sobered up I'll update the scene files and put them back on @Wyldanimal's site.

Thanks again.

@Beast: Thanks for that! It REALLY changes it up a notch at resolution 200! (I also spotted a size error on my part in your post... Should have been 1920 x 1080 not 1800 :/ Oops.)

@No.6: I downloaded your Fracadelics last night and I love the floating disc ones! I'll check again now to see if there's a problem on my system with 12064...

Edit: Yup. Same thing happening here. I tried 14, 15 and 16. The same fractal image is used on all parts of the scene. When I just selected the same scenes again, the image changed but repeated the same image in all parts again. Weird!

In Alexisg's post, he notes the features and bug fixes. I don't know how to access the software code but this could possibly be the culprit:

Feature #594: fullscreen: uniforms in scenes.

No clue how this affects a scene as I thought uniforms were only in shaders?

Update: I just tried specifying 3 different fractals in your scene 14, ie:

texture {
id: Background 1
source: Fractals Round/Fractal_07_round
filter: linear

texture {
id: Background 2
source: Fractals Round/Fractal_12_round
filter: linear
}

texture {
id: Stage
source: FractalsRound/Fractal_15_round
}

Each time I played a new clip, it played only the fractal in Background 1. I then switched the source images around and each time again, it only played Background 1 source image.

Next test, rename the Id's! ...




Stop the press... Found the problem. You missed a closing bracket on Background 1 in scene 14.

clip {
id: Centre
deny: inout, accessories
allow: pole
nameGlowColor: 0, 1, 1
}

texture {
id: Background 1
source: Fractals Round/
filter: linear
}
this one :/







texture {
id: Background 2
source: Fractals Round/
filter: linear
}

texture {
id: Stage
source: Fractals Round/
}

camera {
type: 3D
angle: 45
pos: 0, 0, 1300
target: 0, 0, 0
ambient: 0, 0, 0

// The background


Edit: You obviously copied and pasted the code in 14, 15 and 16 as they all were missing the same closing bracket on Background 1 texture. It all works fine for me now.

As Beast is always telling us, watch those closing brackets! Hehehe :)

@91hebasu

I followed all of your rules to the letter.

here is the source for my posted content:
http://www.wallpaperhi.com/People/Redheads/women_red_redheads_people_ariel_piper_fawn_faces_1680x1050_wallpaper_74322/download_1680x1050

It's a free download, and I don't see any copywrite notices anywhere associated with this file.

Delete it if you like. I'm keeping it.

Before I post this in Bugs and Fixes, is anyone have a problem with full screen scenes and the new Beta (1.2.0.64)?

Specifically, the difficulty I'm having is where there are 3 or more random texture sprites from the same folder in a scene. The software now seems to be picking the same image for each of the texture sprites instead of random ones.

If anyone has my Fracedelic scenes installed and is running the new Beta (1.2.0.64) can you please try Fractal 10 through to Fractal 16.

10 - 12 have two random texture sprite images and still work OK. 13 & 14 have 3 random images (two for the main backgrounds and one for the pole platform) and 15 and 16 have 5 random images. For scenes 13 to 16 it is picking the same images for all of the all of the texture clips instead of random different ones for each texture sprite. Previously I have had odd instances where it may pick the same image for two of the sprites but more often than not it would pick different images for each texture sprite. At the moment however it is picking the same image for all of the texture sprites.

It still selects a random image each time I start the scenes but it is the same image for all the texture sprites.

Can anyone offer any insights into this?

Sorry to be a *****, @Jugnoo, but your revised list has ignored the rules. No girl/model can receive more than 3 points.

Trying to follow your wishes as best I can, I have you down for the following:

3 points: Melisa, Melena Tara, Naomi Nevena, Tess Lyndon
2 points: Anna Tatu, Sabrisse, Little Caprice, Gracy-*****
1 point: Subil Arch, Abigaile Johnson, Eve Angel, Kami

This adds to a total of 24 points. You still have 6 points to give, but don't exceed 3 to any given girl.

3 points - Sandra H, Melisa and Anna Tatu
2 points - Adriana M, Chems, Silvie Deluxe, Tess Lyndon, Naomi Nevena and Melena Tara
1 point - Zuzana, Viki, Eufrat, Zafira, Kami, Chelsea French, Miela, Lola and Kyla Cole (Classic)

@Weabul,

There's nothing wrong with dusting off an old thread. I'm glad you took the time to look around.

We just need to be sure to follow the current rules for posting pics.



For example:

Nudity from VirtuaGirl's content only please.(Last sentence in the header)

Copyright material is prohibited in this category.

In other words, unfortunately, your original pic may need to be removed.

If you are Experimenting with the Vertex Shaders..

The Resolution: Value alters how it is applied...

from HSS - DiscoDiva2.scn
http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?foId=3&ftId=29408&pageNb=1#post462211


sprite {
pos: 0, 0
hotspot: 0.5, 1.0
source: MyBackground
shader: vertex, Move2.vsh
material: true
opacity: 0.8
blend: true
size: 1920, 1800
resolution: 10
}

by adding the resolution: 10 ( a value of 1 up to 200 or even higher can be used )
alters how the vertext shader is applied.

As a tutorial
Here is a fragment Shader I created from Scratch
It's based on my understanding of what a Fragment Shader does.
There are Two Shaders included.
One is fully Commented with Long hand formulas.

The other has all the Comments removed, and the same formulas, but with Variables in them.
The use of Variables allows for easy altering of the formulas to Experiment.

As Wyldanimal says it only seems possible to pick up a single Texture input channel.

If you do declare more than one in the shader they all work, they just all pick up the same texture. This obviously is not optimal - but in most cases it works well enough. It even works when the original shader was using an audio input as some of the examples I adapted do, though obviously there is no longer any correlation between any "pulses" seen on the screen and the music playing.

@91Hebasu
I liked your comment. It was funny to me. It's nice when moderators can joke around.
Good job.

I've been brushing up on some of the older threads, and it seems to me that the Totem crew might be convinced to bring this function back if you can get enough support from other members. You might try posting this question as a poll in the "Problems, Bugs & Fixes" category of the forums. You've got my vote!

@91Hebasu You can joke as much as you like. In my own defense, I like to do a little research before I post something that has already been said. :,)

@Rita69 Thanks for your support, and your new information.

Next time, if I feel the urge to post, I'll start a new thread. Now that I understand the etiquette. :)

http://scenes.virtuastripper.net/DiscoDiva2.zip

This one works great with a fast paced tune ;)

@91Hebasu, we would love it if mods felt free to 'joke around' here. It comes as a pleasant surprise, particularly when your avatar has such a grim visage. Cheers

Re: What, I can't joke around about someone finding a really old thread and bringing life back to it ???

Of course NOT! Moderators must meet a higher standard. <grin>

What, I can't joke around about someone finding a really old thread and bringing life back to it ???

Ariel is no 'ancient relic'... ;)

well just Like The Emu showed how to Simulate iMouse events.
you can also write a Pseudo random function to Simulate Music inputs.
So even those can be made to work , sort of...

As a newbie to this stuff, I find it all incredible fun. I still have a lot to learn about the code vocab and grammar and that's why I'm still struggling to piece it all together. I look for similar code words and variables to VG's altered vocab/grammar and try to slot what I have learned in their places but most of the time it didn't work :(

Gimme a couple of weeks and I'll have it all figured out enough to start writing my own shader code :)

I agree, Beast. Music inputs would be awesome! Some of Shadertoy's shaders only really look good with the music controlling them:D

Talk about digging up an ancient relic of a thread.
;-)

Nice pictures. Ariel was my 2nd redhead to buy. 2nd to Ashley Robbins. I still love her cards. I have all of them.

@Rita69
Beautiful Pic with Ariel! Thx!

Ariel is Totem royalty as far as i am concerned. No other model has quite matched her body type, her mischeivous stage persona, her wonderful self confidence and elegance. But that was then. She's on the webchat circuit these days, and age & experience has a way of sneaking up on models and changing some of them entirely ;(

For example:
Jenna Haze,
Samantha Ryan,
Brea Bennett,
Annabelle Lee,
Sinn Sage,
Elexis Monroe,
Aaliyah Love,
Heather Starlet,
Tara Morgan,
Prinzzess

Ariel is really beauty and sexy. She was model of the VG2 as Ariel Piperfawn.
About the FreeOnes site her eyes are hazel (see in her picture), her hair is dyed, her really hair colour is brown.

I hope she will come back as soon as possible.

I love her eyes. The red hair is definitely a bonus :D (brunettes are nice, too) Ariel was one of my first cards and still one of my favs

If you visit the OP's website at: http://www.stanzeflasher.book.fr , you'll find a lot of really hot babes in his galleries.

If about Ariel .. well, I usually adore redheads and brunettes, but this girl's eyes are ice cold .. a total turn off for me };-))

Thanks TheEmu for detailing this so more members can understand it.

We've always had use of a texture / Channel as an input to the Shader.
I thought it was understood that it was the last image used in the Scene prior to the shader..

What we don't have is Multiple channels, that I have been able to find..
and while it's not a deal breaker, I've just skipped over any shader that used more then one input channel.

Lezardo used an example of it here:
http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?&foId=3&ftId=27449&pageNb=9#post460460

and use it in the fragment:
varying vec2 myVar[5];
(...)
void main()
{
highp vec4 sum = vec4(0.0);
sum = texture2D(texture0, myVar[0]) * 0.2270270270;
sum = texture2D(texture0, myVar[1]) * 0.3162162162;
(...)
gl_FragColor = sum * gl_Color;
}

and way back in the Beginning
Totem included it in this one as well.
part of the Perforations Shader
blur.fsh

uniform sampler2D texture0;
varying vec4 gl_TexCoord[];
varying vec4 gl_Color;

const float blurSize = 1.0 / 1024.0;

void main(void)
{
vec4 sum = vec4(0.0);

vec4 vTexCoord = gl_TexCoord[0];
sum = texture2D(texture0, vec2(vTexCoord.x, vTexCoord.y - 4.0*blurSize)) * 0.05;
sum = texture2D(texture0, vec2(vTexCoord.x, vTexCoord.y - 3.0*blurSize)) * 0.09;
sum = texture2D(texture0, vec2(vTexCoord.x, vTexCoord.y - 2.0*blurSize)) * 0.12;
sum = texture2D(texture0, vec2(vTexCoord.x, vTexCoord.y - blurSize)) * 0.15;
sum = texture2D(texture0, vec2(vTexCoord.x, vTexCoord.y)) * 0.16;
sum = texture2D(texture0, vec2(vTexCoord.x, vTexCoord.y blurSize)) * 0.15;
sum = texture2D(texture0, vec2(vTexCoord.x, vTexCoord.y 2.0*blurSize)) * 0.12;
sum = texture2D(texture0, vec2(vTexCoord.x, vTexCoord.y 3.0*blurSize)) * 0.09;
sum = texture2D(texture0, vec2(vTexCoord.x, vTexCoord.y 4.0*blurSize)) * 0.05;

gl_FragColor = sum * gl_Color;
}



I really , really would like Music input..

This is something I have been posting over and over again.

I cannot stop beeng surprised how many posts write about this in different ways now for years.

***************************************************************************
*************I want to see the clips in the secuence I choose****************
***************************************************************************

One of them could be progresive hotness. The first clip the model fully dressed and so on. The possibilities are only limited to my imagination.

After many posts, I finally I developed a very friendly "clip player" where I can tag clips, retrive them, create playlists from various cards and many more features.

• some of the playlists I have are
• just kissing
• long legs, short skirts
• only butts over task bar
• Only fingerring

A long etc.

I was happy for some months until the the new version just cut off this posiblity.

I understand it will be placed back, don't know when

Feature #414: Follow Registry to play clips.

don't nkow what surprieses I will see when/if it is back.

I would be happy again

so am i

i agree

Ariel has been my personal favourite for a long time.

She can be found all over the web under many names. With very little searching, you may find her web site.

Here are just a few of her pseudonyms that I have found:

Ariel
Ariel A
Ariel Piperfawn
Arielle
Ariels
Faith Lightspeed
Gabriela
Gabrielle Lupin
Gala
Marsha
Piper Fawn
Red Piperfawn

Happy hunting!

I totally agree.

just waiting for it...didnt realize how i missed it so much :)

@HombreSinSombra

Well, in the end it was simple - but like many simple things I needed to make several iterations and took a few wrong steps before it became simple.

my votes are as mentioned below

5 points for melisa , melena tara,
4 points for tess Lyndon, Naominevena
2 points for sabrisse , anna tattu, little caprice & gracy *****
1 point for subil arch, abigela jhonson, eva angel, kami

Very helpful.

Thanks

I would love to see Kaylani Lei.

I hope the rumor of a US studio is true.

I have Ms Lynna sexy upskirt.

What a very nice photo of Anissa Kate sexy legs, @stefnev1. WOW!!

Here are two more from Anissa Kate sexy legs.

@oz Thanks for the update you did a good job. Be looking for you on Sunday.

Thanks to @TheEmu, we can now adapt almost any shader from Shadertoy.com :D

This is my first attempt at one that was beyond our reach until now, for VG...

Check this out! ;)

Edit: In the Images folder, you can add any image or texture you like to change the look of the scene. You only need to rename the file in the .scn part to match :)

I'm still missing 30 cards I have for Double Diamond status!

This is great!

Best regards HoneyCocokiss

I would love to see Asa Akira...

It would almost make up for the price increase. And this is exactly why I didn't buy into the whole we're not making enough money excuse. As an accountant I know your expenses are an important part of the bottom line. So no they weren't making enough... for the profits they want, and to pay for a new product line, and for a new studio..

From @The Emu's post on the Sharing thread...


@TheEmu: What the hell??? I have discarded a dozen or more shaders after trying to figure out a way to adapt them to VG because of the 'iChanneln' inputs. NOW you give us the solution!!!

Man, you are a genius! THANK YOU so much. I had already figured out how to get rid of the iMouse inputs but the iChannel ones were a real *****. You make it look so simple :D

You've given us a lot to go thru, my friend. Watch this space for some amazing shader scenes to come ;) The only limits are our individual imaginations.

GREAT JOB!
