European Roulette adapted from @TheEmu's Carosel animations
continues the gaming development scenes series 2.
Feel free to tweek this to refine iStripper EuroRoulette some more. It is a good way of learning carosels.

I have 3 displays running on a 2013 Mac Pro. I don't do much gaming, so 60 Hz is fine for me. My main display is a 40" 4K Phillips BDM4065 (3840 X 2160). It's about 2 years old now. My second display is a 30" HP LP3065 (2560 X 1600). It's about 6 years old and was my main display before I got the 4K. My third display is a 23" HP LV2311 (1920 x 1080). It's about 4 years old and replaced a smaller display the failed.

All three of my displays have about the same number of pixels per inch so images have about equal crispness. If you had a smaller 4K display, images would look sharper because of more pixels per inch. My wife really likes her 27" retina iMac for just that reason. It's a 5K display in just 27", effectively twice the pixels per inch.

I've done a lot of experimenting with iStripper on all three displays. When you display a card larger than it's nominal size you get some blurring and pixelation. The more you enlarge the card the worse it gets. I normally play cards at 60% on my 4K display. The 3K cards look great and the 1080p cards are a bit blurry, but acceptable. As a point of reference a 3K card at 45% on the 4K display is at it's nominal resolution. Anything larger is being scaled up. When I play 720p cards I only play them at 30% because to me they look terrible at 60%.

On a 1440 display a size of about 65% will produce nominal resolution for a 3K card.

I once did some experiments with my 4K display in portrait mode. The 3K cards were a little fuzzy at 80% but the size was awesome. The 1080p cards were ***** at 80%.

The net result of my experiments is that I seldom watch 720p cards. When I do it's in small mode. The old 480 cards are even worse. When I watch them its at about 20% - ten tiny girls.

On my Mac, iStripper seems to calculate image size based on the size of my main display regardless of which display is showing the card. When I ***** a card from one display to another, there is no apparent change in size. Remember that the pixels per inch of all three of my displays are about the same.

Hope this helps.

OMG! 3300 cards? I couldn't put in that much time. My first attempt on my Mac in AppleScript created two Excel spreadsheets. One has a line of data for each card including counts of clips by type. The second has one line for each clip. The Access DB stores its information is half a dozen tables and can output various summaries or full details.

In fact, the totem did a good job, totem launched preview and advertising are no dew point (no bare breasts and lower body); and strict membership system (only upgrade to Platinum members in the forum to talk about nude pictures). Because of the totality of the above practices, in China is not completely forbidden totem. On the purchase: I registered online MasterCard credit card, can only be used for online shopping, and can not overdraft. But the Chinese people do not overdraft habits, so it does not matter. If the totem can provide such a MasterCard online shopping card, with the Bank of China to recharge the yuan to buy totem products, that is the best. Strict scale preview advertising and membership system; convenient and quick purchase measures; and Chinese interface; with these I believe totem can broaden the Chinese market.

@Dorsai6,

I did it the old fashioned way, by manually inputting the name of each girl, all her stats, and the number of cards in each category/series that she performed in, and how many of these cards were duos, I spent hours reviewing the accuracy of the raw data. Once I was sure of the raw data, excel has the functionality to sort the data, and through the use of pivot tables, you can get all kinds of reporting/aggregating results.

Thanks for the sale but it doesn't seem fair that only certain models that fit in this category were chosen for this sale. People have favorites and will only buy cards from certain models. Why not expand the sale selection, it can only mean more sales..I don't see who's at loss by this

I agree with he,The team should consider this good ideal.

Guys: found no? Natalia Starr's last few cards were significantly reduced in the waistline

i'm holding out for ms.harper.

@mo7ibelkuss

How did you do it? About 2 years ago I wrote an AppleScript to do it for my collection only. About 4 months ago I wrote an Access database to do the same thing. Parsing the models.lst file and the card .xml files took some work. Wyldanimal was an enormous help in figuring out the coding of the models.lst file.

Since your collection seems to include all the cards, you data is more complete than mine.

Once you have it in a database you can get at all kinds of interesting information.

If anyone wants a copy of my Access application, sent me a PM with an email. Right now its a beta and I'm still finding error. Once it is solid I'll make it available on-line.

So are we getting more Natalia Starr??? I sure hope so! :D

I have 2 Acer X34 ( Curved 34" - 3440x1440 - 21:9 G-sync ) = is the best image resolution , with this curve monitor U can see more curve ( I mean more of a 3D image not flat image ) i.e. iStripper model doing screen wash , on a swing etc..........

1080 to 4K monitor more improved resolution . U will ***** having 1080 & 4K monitor side by side running on a same rig . 4k monitor the image is more crispier look ,1080 monitor is like a dull image . thats why I ended up having 2 Acer x34 monitor & I love the image & my eyes don't feal more fatigue .

There is HDR monitor going to be released soon , but the only problem is that U need a very very good GPU & GTX1080ti is not enough power to run a HDR monitor .it will struggle with Frame Rate . The reason is 11gb GPU memory is not enough for 4K monitor .

At the moment I have a 1 GTX Titan X gpu it does the job , I used to have 4 gpu 2 years ago water cooled , don't bother waste of money . 1 high spec gpu & 1000+ watts psu & 4K monitor & thats perfect rig .

I am going to wait Nvidia Volta - HBM2 20gb+ memory , I could do more multitasking on 2 screen without frame rate dropout.

• It is going to be an expensive Rig . -

Yea Volta going to be great but i cant wait any longer. 4 years since i got my 670's thats 4 years of not playing any decent games. Its driving me nuts, like the kids do lol.

Another year of waiting i have to take the plunge at one point.

I already know where the Spanish girls are ;)

Doesn't mean I exclusively follow them. I really don't care where a babe comes from. If she's hot and can perform, that's all that matters to me :)

I wish you luck with your endeavour sir! Not really interested in using it myself but others might be :) Go for it !

Thanks! So you're not interested in knowing all the girls from Spain? :)

Thanks guys. I thought about 4k tbh. But im abit of a FPS whore when it comes to games you see. 4k is too demanding atm. And im not getting a 60hz one.
I will wait for a good 144hz when they finally come out and the prices drop. However atm the sweet spot is a 1440p 144hz gsync. I need to upgrade from my 1080p 120hz due to the GTX 1080Ti will bottleneck on some titles at 1080p. I will get better preformance if i upgrade to 1440p. Plus the advantage is VG will looks better at 1440p. The only downside is the 720p models will looksmaller on screen over a 1080p screen. I think the 1080p models will be fine size wise and the 3k models will be amazing :).

And since i game on 2 670's in SLI a upgrade is badly needed. Been waiting years and i have a MASSIVE backlog of games to play lol.
My social life is going to dip very soon LOL

So this is the aggregate report:

Grand Total 752

And tomorrow, I will be working on listing all the model names by country! I hope you guys find this useful!

I wish you luck with your endeavour sir! Not really interested in using it myself but others might be :) Go for it !

I am finally done! I embarked upon a "sweet" project to capture all the girls' stats on a single excel spreadsheet, ensure the accuracy of such stats, and then be able to derive factoids/interesting collective stats/reports on such stats/graphs, etc. Here is my first project based on that excel spreadsheet: To list all girls by country, for those of us who are interested in girls from a certain country, it is some times difficult to navigate the software to find girls from a country we are interested in.

So the roadmap for the coming posts are as follows:
First: Report on the total number of girls from each country.

Then, in subsequent posts, I will list the girl names from each country, alphabetically ordered. I also further ordered the girls from each country based on the number of cards that were issued for her in the "E Series of cards" - Istripper (3K) cards, followed by the "F Series" of cards - Istripper xxx (4k), followed by "the A series" - virtuagirl cards, followed by the C Series - deskbabe cards, followed by the D Series of cards - virtuagirl classic cards. That way I would insure that the girls who participated in the higher quality cards are listed first.

In my spread sheet, all the girls were listed, except for the discontinued ones.

So, I hope this endeavor would be useful for all of us, new or seasoned members of this community!

Well that's an invite right there to anybody who knows how to bypass the Chinese system... I'm sure the Team would reward the member for a long time if they can bring in a chunk of the possible billion or more Chinese speaking population :)

China boasts almost 20 % of the world's population...

Our websites are blocked in china, so Chinese visitors come through VPN and get denied by our main billers (because they think transactions are fraudulent)
Popular way of payments in China, such as Alipay won't process anything adult related.
We're very interested but not sure how to proceed :)

Forgot to mention. I run a GTX 1070 card and ACER Predator 32" 4K IPS screen. Running smooth! =)

Was just going thru old 80's and 90's tracks on YouTube and found this Murray Head, 'One Night in Bangkok' extended mix with 5 hot Asian girls dancing.
Here's the link to watch the video... (Very nice)

• It is going to be an expensive Rig . -

I went for a 980 and only when I opened it, I realised it was bigger than my case could handle! Beware of specs...
Why does it need a case around it? Maybe I should case all my titanium parts with flashy alloys... :) It looks good, but does it do anything that something cheaper would do just as well?
I got a refund for that 980 and got a slight spec down for almost half the price... it's smaller than what I upgraded from and works just as well as what I wanted. I got more memory and better processor speed with no wallet ***** or case breaking... very pleased.

Well... here are 2 examples =)

Cara Mell

Tina Kay, she deserves it !

The last two on my list are Stella Cox and Emma Brown... not very new cards... is this normal?

Maybe nobody speaks chinese in the team ?

This is a Girls Only site

Totem has no intentions of doing any boy/girl scenes

This week was so nice, one more time, with very pretty girls. Thanks to the team, have a good weekend 😊

Hallo ihr lieben ich wünsche mir das mann und frau sex auf den bildschirm haben

How will Totem launch the Chinese version? Chinese Internet users look forward to.

Comparison of clips in original size and 1080p/720p zoomed to same size as 3K on 1440p monitor...

@TheEmu, @EverthangForever
Thanks very much for your considered responses!
I am away for the weekend, but I will have another go on Monday. If I am still at a loss, I will zip up where I have got to and upload to @WyldAnimal's site. I could try Dropbox - which I have - on this PC, but I am too long out of IT now, and I am not familiar with modern sharing methods.

Thanks for the sale but it doesn't seem fair that only certain models that fit in this category were chosen for this sale. People have favorites and will only buy cards from certain models. Why not expand the sale selection, it can only mean more sales..I don't see who's at loss by this

be aware that the given ages are not so correct.

even there are differences between the website and the software. and it has nothing to do when the cards or first card was done.
e.g.
Tina Kay / Lustful surprise Website 25 - Software 32
Angie Line / Total Package Website 30 - Software 34

too big differences. Tina haven't done cards for 7 years, Angie also not..... and I'm sure I would find many more but it's not worth for me to invest more time :)

also the height's are sometime completely different to other sites like freeonce and so on...
e.g. Niemira Height: 5.35 ft by Totem and 5 feet and 6 inches by another site

do not think much of these infos

@Number6 - I agree with you about Ava Courcelles, Its odd that no age appears when looking at her cards because its in the xml files, all seven of them give her age as 33 as you had deduced.

Here are the cards which, according to their xml files, have performers aged 31 to 34. Again I have left out the VirtualGirl Classic cards for which the ages are suspect. I also have not yet downloaded the latest 62 cards (because of the network connection I am currently using) so there might be a few in those as well.

@DrDoom9 - The black water is, presumably, because gl_Color is comming through as all zeros which will multiply all the coulr compontents by zero resultng in a transparent black area. I thought the default was all ones which leaves things unchanged but on thinking it over the rule must be a bit more complex. Add a

color : 1, 1, 1

to the clip sprite as well as uncommenting the opacity : 0,5 clause.

Reflections or shadows of frontTable clips are a problem because the legs, and sometimes more, in the original clip are often below its built in "hotspot" so when you invert them the reflections are above the hotspot making them stick up in the air and shadows are offset if you have applied any rotations.
It is possible to mask them, but can be tricky depending on the scene. To use a simple mask you need one that is opaque above where the performer is sitting and transparent below that point, you then order the scene elements so that the reflection is behind the mask, then the mask and finaly the performer. This will sometimes feel wrong because although the reflection needs to look like its front of the performer you have to put it behind her and even behind her immediate background.

I wish there was some easy way to specify that only a particular area of an image or clip is to be used, and I have a shader (Rectangle_XY) that will do exactly that, but to use it you usualy need to introduce an extra frame buffer to extract the area you want and then merge that into the final scene - with some ***** difficulties in getting things the right way up and positioned where you want them. I do not recommend using it until you are completely happy with using framebuffers and shaders. The few times I have tried to use it for this sort of thing I initialy could not find where the part I wanted ended up on the screen and I had to ***** it to be the front element, colour it red to make it stand out, fiddle with its position until it was roughly where I wanted it, figure out why the numbers I used put it where it was and only then could I calculate the exact values to use. The numbers always made sense in the end, but the combinations of scale factors and offsets meant I never got it right first time.

At some point I intend to create a general purpose shadow shader, one that transforms the image shape by using a combination of shear and taper transforms rather than only using rotations, performs a blur, changes the color and opacity, allows the shadow grow more indistinct as it gets further from the feet and maybe even to handle shadows falling partly on a horizontal floor and partly on a vertical wall - but it will be probably be some time before I can provide it and something similar for reflections.

I am going to be away from my computer for most of today, but I may be able to look at your scene tomorrow. If just adding the color: clause does not work can you zip it up and put it somewhere that I can download it from.

Yes, Exactly..
I had posted about this some time back. How to Simulate the old Favorite Function.

and Here, was in response to one of your Previous Posts.
http://www.istripper.com/forum#/forum/thread/33105/last#post505907

a shame that so many posts get lost and buried in the forum.
Someone should start a Thread, of Just Questions, and then Links to All the Answers that have been given to that Question.

A Forum Wiki of sorts.

I hope I'm not repeating something I've said before.

Over the past few months people have commented that they miss the ability the Favorites provided in VG to control how often cards are played. I've discovered a way to do this using playlists.

Here is a simple example. Lets say you have a bunch of cards you want to include in a playlist but you like some better than the others.

1. Make separate playlists of the two groups of cards.
2. Clear the playlists tab and copy in the good but not great cards.
3. Now without clearing the playlist tab copy in the great cards TWICE.
4. Save this as a new playlist and it will play the great cards twice as often as the good ones with Random and Repeat both on.

Is twice as often too much? OK, copy the good list twice and the great list three times and the great will play 150% as often as the good.

Love complexity? Have a third playlist of super cards and copy it five time into the 2 + 3 list. Now the super will play 250% as often as the good.

Hope this makes sense and help some of you.

I bought a bunch of cards while back and just reinstalled i cant get rid of the preview cards

Not sure if 35+ is the abolute limit.

Ava Corcelles has no age shown on her cards however the NUDEeu

https://www.thenude.eu/Ava%20Courcelles_29218.htm#Bio

Shows her birthdate 27/02/81. Her cards were released in 2014 which would make her 33+ years old at the time.

Personally I don't care, she is absolutely gorgeous so age does not really come into it. Definitely one of the sexiest women on iStripper.

I just don't understand what I am doing, and even though @TheEmu's scripts are superbly well documented, I just do not have the basic understanding ..

@DrDoom, you are not alone. I am mucking about with @TheEmu's carosels at the moment, and
understanding the combinations in the animations alone is really mind boggling :-)

I haven't looked at the bikini.scn yet so can't see what you are looking at... but maybe needs masking of the long leg overhangs .. might be the issue.
you could try masking part of the reflection using a suitably placed quad that would put it behind the model if quad is rendered with the same shader. When you do that, mask looks contiguous with shadered background however shader on same shader always seems to end up with a seam.
I wish @Team would give us a method of making part of mask edges or bottom of refections fade to transparent . I think that and changes to their 3D perspective for shadows algorithm was overlooked when they changed camera size to 3K :-/
Do you have a screen cap of how your pool lady looked ie: before the water went black ?

First time ever that I bought all cards released in a week. The 12% discount help push a couple of cards I was unsure of but no regrets. Thanks Totem!

@TheEmu
I have just tried your Method 1. I added the line gl_FragColor *=gl_Color; to the refraction.fsh shader from the Bikini fullscreen. The effect was to turn the water black!

@TheEmu, @EverthangForever
To prove how incompetent I am, here is what I did (Method 1 of @TheEmu's response above) which caused the water to be reflected up into the girl! I don't think I understand the framebuffer technique!

framebuffer {
id : GirlFrontArchReflection
source : GirlFrontArch, 0 // reflection
source : Water, 1
shader : fragment, Romanesque/shaders/refraction.fsh
shader : vertex, Romanesque/shaders/refraction.vsh
}

//
// Camera (3D)
//
camera {
...etc

clipSprite {
source : GirlFrontArchReflection
pos : 35, -400, 0
standingHeight : 460
scale : -1, -1, 1
//opacity : 0.5 // does not work!
blend : true
}

My original - 3 or 4 posts further back - was OK except that, as @TheEmu has shown, the opacity: line failed.

@EverthangForever
Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried, but I think this stuff is way out of my league!
I just don't understand what I am doing, and even though @TheEmu's scripts are superbly well documented, I just do not have the basic understanding to get much out of them.

When I followed your suggestion I got a refection with long bent legs of the model which did not ripple. I did not know what input parameters to adjust to make it do so.
My original copy of the Bikini fullscreen technique was OK except that it did not react to the opacity: clipsprite line.
I am now going to try @TheEmu's suggestion using the Totem refraction.vsh file.

According to her Playboy BIO Anna Marie Goddard was born 13/01/1970.

If she had been 39 when she did her VG Classic card this would have been 2009. The classic cards are all pre 2007 so she couldn't have been 39 when the card was made, however I am guessing she was probably well into her 30's.

The classic card was issued in 2011 according to the filters in my collection, which would have put her age at 41. Therefore the truth must lie somewhere in between. It is possible that it was selected for upgrading in 2009 (when she was 39) but not completed/issued until 2011.

Anna Marie Goddard (one of my all-time favorite playmates)

Yes I must admit that she is also one of my favourite Playboy girls, although Mesina Miller holds top spot for me.
