Well that has cleared up a lot of the ***** regarding only passing integer or floating point values from a scn file to a shader. In spite of this, it appears a lot can be predisposed in these switch tables which will allow SCN level ***** of the result via uniforms. Its exactly the outcome I was hoping for, and although its a lot of work to setup in shader, it makes scene construction (tinkering) a pleasure for many for years to come. Great these efforts. They predisposed artistic endeavour..without peeps dissecting shader files into too many tailored versions. I'm combining your work with complex domains in this also and omg thats exciting ..hope I don't fry my GPU lol. Bless you and have good rest @TheEmu... we need time to catch up.😉

Edit: I'm wondering if the Complex Function shader is having difficulty rendering some of the more concentrated iterations. I thought it was just my lousey graphics quality on GetPaint however even @Lunarpup's impecable 1920 x 1200 textures are showing a little saw-toothed where iterations become tightly packed in the rendered shapes. @Number6 mentioned the importance of maintaining pixel size when converting png to jpg some time back. I wonder if textures being png has something to do with the shader's small scale rendering behavior ie: lines tending to become serrated or a series of dots/dashes.?
Edit: think I've fixed it by adding uniform: ContourDensity, int, 10 so I'll update and upload again shortly.
Edit: ok, done !

@EverthangForever

You are correct - thery should be switch ( funcB*signB ). and switch ( funcC*signC ).

My excuse is that I was very tired when I produced the modified shader this morning. I have corrected the version at TheEmusNest but it you might as well make the changes yourself.

In you post your description is almost correct. When you say

switch table of funcA as function of signA in 8 cases

this should be

switch table of function of funcA*signA in 8 cases

Really all that multiplying the functionId by its sign is doing is evaluating abs(funcA), i.e. discarding the sign. But if coded like that then the result of abs(funcA) is a floating point value and a switch needs an integer. I could also have used switch ( int(abs(signA)) ).

In essence there are a set of functions, each of these is identified by a a number (used as part of its name, but this does not have to be the case), the mapping from a function id to its function is done by the switch statements. It has to be done this sort of way because you can only pass integer or floating point values from a scn file to a shader. It would be nice to be able to pass arbitrarary code snippets, but the system just doesn't work that way.

@TheEmu please rest ~ this work is amazing..I've just tried in Transmats in lieu of firewall tunnel..the merging and masking & colors are phenomenal..absolutley never a dull moment..brilliant work. THANK YOU !!!❤️😄

@EverthangForever

You are correct - thery should be switch ( funcB*signB ). and switch ( funcC*signC ).

My excuse is that I was very tired when I produced the modified shader this morning. I have corrected the version at TheEmusNest but it you might as well make the changes yourself.

@TheEmu, thanks so much. Works like a charm. It will take a
while to get my head around the syntax, however looks like..

define table of hard coded functions

declaration of funcA uniform as an integer,
same for funcB and funcC

declaration of float choices A, B and C as decimal values 0.0

declaring signA as an integer related to funcA,
similar for signB and signC

switch table of funcA as function of signA in 8 cases.
similar tables for funcB and funcC.

'A' defined as a function of signA
similar for 'B' and 'C'

Its gradually making sense the more I read it, however not sure why
switch tables for funcB and funcC have different headers ie: why not
switch ( funcB*signB ).

I was struggling with this, as we've never been shown exactly how it
works...its great to have a solution and outcome. Kudos & very grateful.
Guys were right about the integers..Now I'm off to get the new cards and give it a whirl 😄

@EverthangForever

I have just uploaded a modified version of the Unknown - e#22678.2 shader and a couple of .scn files using it. The modifications allow you to select which three of the built in functions you want to use. You can get them from the GlslSandbox zips directory at TheEmusNest.eu or by using the direct link

http://www.theemusnest.eu/scenes/Zips/GlslSandbox%20Scenes/Shaders%20=%20GlslSandbox%20-%20Update%20July%202015.zip

Thats all one URL - sorry it being so long.

It contains three files that you should copy into the GlslSandbox shaders directories. I will probably be adding a few more GlslSandbox adaptions in the next week or two and when I do these will be among them and the separate zip file will disappear.

Hi Guys,
yes, it appears we can only pass a value via uniforms, not any other form of expression.
That would mean the shader needs a way of interpreting values given... as expressions.
Thats the coding I'm keen to see...some sort of booleen if / then...I guess
@hombre thanks for the suggestion . I've tried all manner of substitution and even using @Wyld's
'return min(max(choiceA, -choiceB), choiceC);' all to no avail. ;-(
Looks like we're destined to just restate our different vars at line 55 in shader each time with this..
Crazy thing is..it still does part of the shader without showing a debug..wierd !
Good to see you back in the FSDiscussions btw 😉

Hi guys. I've been away from this forum for a while but you are working some wonderful magic here! I'm so far behind, it'll take me weeks to catch up with current knowledge :(

@ET: While I'm here, and I'm probably going to sound like a dork but it appears that you've re-named these variables to var1a etc. but haven't changed the variable names in the #defines or somewhere else in the code that they need to be changed? Without seeing your new code, it's a little hard to tell where the logic may be going wrong but this is my best guess for now :)

Loving these Transmat scenes, guys :) Compare where you have taken scene making to even 6 months ago... AWESOME!

Edit: @Beast: I was thinking that too but I wasn't sure as it's been a while since I looked at this stuff :(

uniform: choiceA, float, var7
uniform: choiceB, float, var5
uniform: choiceC, float, var2

you can't have for example, var7 as the definition for the value.

you need to asign a floating point value..

uniform: choiceA, float, 1.0
uniform: choiceB, float, 2.0
uniform: choiceC, float, 3.0


in shader

uniform float choiceA;
uniform float choiceB;
uniform float choiceC;

return min(max(choiceA, -choiceB), choiceC);

@Number6
Yes I suspect that is the problem. Its in the way the shader is recoded to accept 3 values rather than simply declaring variable names with assigned uniform values at the SCN level. However, if the correct SCN and shader syntax can be shown how it can be adapted in this example, it hopefully lends itself to useful experimenting with adapting many other shaders we have been given recently. really hoping @TheEmu can throw some light on this.

@EverthangForever

I'm afraid I know very little about the GL ES Shader Language. I've delved into a couple of shaders and changed a few numbers here and there but nothing more complicated than that.

I could be totally wrong here but I think you need to find another way to do it. I was under the impression that uniforms were used for passing values to the shader but you are trying to pass a variable name rather than a value.

When you use the syntax "float" I think it refers to a floating point number and this is what the shader is expecting to see.

I think the shader needs to be amended so that you can pass a value to it and it will pick the var1 to var8 dependent on what value you send. It may be easier to use "int" instead of "float" for this.

As I said I know very little about the language and I could be totally wrong. I guess @TheEmu or anyone else a bit more clued up than me would be the best one give a definitive answer.

@Mikedreams thanks for your kind comments.@TheEmu really deserves such feedback 😄
@Cherry2000 some great ideas for accessories there ;-)

@anyone
Continuing to try to apply uniforms to give SCN level adjustments to shaders:

in ELECTRICAveNew - TheEmu = Transmats05 - SandboxUnknowne#22678_2 - Random and RandomTextures01 x 12.scn (in above zip)..I have applied ...

framebuffer {
id: Tunnel1
source: TunnelWalls1
shader: fragment, Shaders/Unknown - e#22678.2.fsh
uniform: choiceA, float, var7
uniform: choiceB, float, var5
uniform: choiceC, float, var2

In the ' Unknown - e#22678.2.fsh ' shader I have applied...in the preable:
after uniform float u_Elapsed; // The elapsed time in seconds
uniform vec2 u_WindowSize; // Window dimensions in pixels...
uniform float choiceA;
uniform float choiceB;
uniform float choiceC;
// ..& in the float trap area I've added to defines below..
#define var8 min(length(p.xz), min(length(p.yz), length(p.xy))) - 0.05
#define var1a choiceA
#define var2a choiceB
#define var3a choiceC
// I've changed...
// return min(max(var7, -var5), var2);
// to
return min(max(var1a, -var2a), var3a);

however, I only get a partial rendering of the shader onscreen
(road & just plain flat orange sides) with nothing showing on debug
If I switch the return statement back to original everything (detail) works fine..
(except ofc for debug's mild complaint about orphaned uniforms)
Anyone have any idea why, or can fix the syntax ?

@JeffreyK

Start the video playing at the resolution you want, then you can right-click and "save video as."

@crasherdnb looking good buddy looking good.

... and still don't have one duo card ...

A quand une action discout digne de ce nom (pour tout les membres !!!!) sur Deskbabes ?

Speaking of the latest 2 new desk babes card, has anyone else had difficulty in having the movies download from VirtuaGirl's website page, where the pictures and movies are displayed? I have left and right clicked to no avail.

Help?

I love the current desktop but I'd love love love to see a classic burlesque stage very Craazy Horse Paris with a life size martini glass, chaise lounge, bird cage, etc.

Wow...Maya Grand, huh? Never heard of her before but she's looking awesome. Can't wait! 😛

Also, Merry Pie 0045

here is Alyssia sexy upskirt front and back.

Here is Melisa red sexy panties. Very sexy i may say myself, but look out one is coming at you. Haha.

Last card of Brynn Tyler and a VG debut of Maya Grand.

New Serena Wood cards and final card of Sapphira A.

the KEY here is, if you are using the 3K cards with no performance issue, then by all means continue to ues them..

But if you're trying to use the 3K cards, on a 1080 size to 1200 size screen, and you are experiencing performance issues, well then most likely you've hit the max of your CPU and should consider downloading the 1080p or 720p cards instaead.

Re-sizing from 3K down to 1080p needs a lot of CPU. and If you don't have it, why struggle with it..
Better to download the Clip size that Best works with your Screen / Hardware.

but to answer your question.
NO, you don't have to have a 4K screen to use the 3K clips.

even on a 768 high screen, if you've got enough CPU, yu can use the 3K clips, and let them be re-sized to fit your 768 size screen..

Will you see any significant difference between the 3K vs the 720p on the 768 screen?
I doubt it..

Mind-blowing updates, you wizards. I'm in awe...some.

It seems like right click is assigned to context menu with a default menu and left click functions can only be changed to a preselected list of actions. If I recall correctly I believe it was a casualty of the jump in software to 3K. Somewhere around the .46 or .60 updates maybe.

Hello I am a new member and I just wanted to say I love this site, most importantly the hot girls. I am in love with Sapphira I love her pretty face and delicious body, her ass drives me crazy. Please to Totem can we see a beautiful girl wearing a Hawaiian hula skirt? I hope I spelled it right. Cheers to everyone

That's too bad. I was hoping the responses to this post would help Totem notice the thread. Anyway thanks for responding.

The option was there before in a older version and seemd to have been removed in the new version. Is there any way to do this?

kindve hard to know whats a fast processor...my cards play fine with what i have..i have intel cor i7 cpu 930

I'm going to beat on what is becoming my favorite drum on this forum.

The problem is that Totem is trying to follow a consistent classification standard, but many members find it inappropriate to their needs. I can't see Totem changing because their standard is probably good enough for most people.

The solution is a totally new capability -- allow users to a tags of their choice at the clip level to cards they own on their own computer. These tags would be stored in a new file on the user's computer. Then let enable or diasble clips based on the tags they have entered. This way if you want 7 levels of hotness and are willing to code you clips to your standard, have at it. If you like left handed women, tag them. If you like butterfly tatoos, tag them. Then if you want to play only clips that show butterfly tatoos, you can do it.

I can see many ways to do this. The key is the ability to tag the current clip with whatever tags you wish. This works best when you can select clips to play one-by-one in an orderly manner, but that isn't absolutely needed.

Prices were not corrected for the discount.

I think if Totem had noticed the thread they would have looked into it and commented by now, either by extending the deadline for the discount or explaining why it had expired on the Friday.

We've travelled this road before - even asked for local overide of the level descriptions and rating given so people could make them more meaningful as far as their peference goes. Part of the problem is that the level is extracted from a digit positon of the filename for the clip so there are all sorts of side effects of changing it. Totem's view is that they should determine the level and the description of the clip and introducing any system by which the user base could change it would lead to difficulties and people breaking their installation if they mucked it up. The argument is that we have to realise that not all users are 'expert' level when it comes to computers. My view is that those people wouldn't want to change it, and anyone who does has to accept that they do it at their own risk. But I can't see the previous decision being reconsidered.

I agree that the language is a bit misleading but I can also understand the problem for the Team to describe the level of erotica in as few words as possible in the menu system.

Maybe it would help if the Team add more info to the FAQ and Tooltip (?) about the subject. Now there's no info about what to expect from each level.

Is there any further word on this?

@OnAMac @Dorsai6: did prices ever go back to normal for you?

Dear team, could you pls fix clip e0177_14336405 in small sice (60%),
as on my Pc this clip run for only 3 seconds and on the left edge of my screen.
In full sice it play's correct.

Regards
Sumsie

I'll only get excited when I see Lorena Garcia...fingers crossed.

i mean jenni gregg...sorry

i have a good example for this its a jenni p card - card 557 - pure bliss....now if u look at the descriptions of the clips they say topless and nudity and full nudity...now i know you go by level of erotic content but if someone was to look at the descriptions of the clips they might believe that....ive been fooled a few times too..i know cards are different and models do shows different way but that can ***** someone or something..that should be explaned somehow or something....i love this service and hope you guys keep improving on it

Tracy Smile

Ok everyone here they are Melisa New Cards with here one boob out. And to let you know I thing she even better, sexier now. Enjoy.

Lloydn,

I did some experimenting a while back. If you have your large size setting over about 80% and you don't have the "Don't exceed 100% of the source clips" checkbox on in Advanced Setting then a 1080p card will be scalled up to fit you size setting. A 3K card on the same screen will be scaled down. Since scaling a 3K card takes a lot more processing than scaling 1080p card you need more processing power. If you have the processing power, a 3K card will look a bit better than a 1080p card. On the other hand, if your large size setting is less then 75% there is no benefit from the 3K version of a card since you're simply scaling it down to the size of a 1080p.

The key is that a 3K card scaled down to less than the "natural" size of a 1080p card won't look any better than the 1080p, but will take a lot more computer power to play.

You can do a simple test: Turn the "Don't exceed 100%" control on and off with a card playing in large mode. If the card changes size, it's being scaled up by the software and a 3K card would look a little better given sufficient processing power.

@TheEmu,
Hi , I was playing around with the red firewall tunnel in transmat as a mask tunnel but found it became a little dull and repetitive waiting for the transitions, so I decided to try to substitiute your VGHD adaptation of GlslSandbox Unknown e#22678.2.fsh instead of the firewall shader. Further inspection of its code indicated your comment regarding possible variations of combining var1 - var8 which might give more interesting alteration of the model's fly through patterns. I altered this to something which I like and found, especially with @Emu's energy ring, it works just as well as firewall tunnel to mask transmat transitions.

I would like to arrange a uniform in e#22678.2.fsh shader to suit peeps who can then apply many combinations of 'var''s at shader line 55 via a scene uniform code entry. if its not too much trouble, can you tell me what/where i need to alter the shader and scene code to accomplish that ?

here is the transmat example shown above
scenes.virtuastripper.net/ELECTRICAveNewTransmats02.zip

Hi - prices don't seem to be back to normal.
I was looking to get the Sapphira Cinnamon Sugar card too. It's the weekend, so maybe no one at Totem will be around to correct this. I hope they extend the normal discount period (not the holiday sale) for these cards to make up for this glitch.

Serena Wood and Vinna Reed...*looking good!* 😛

@KatzPaw I agree! More from Cameron Dee would be nice!

Makes me sad not to see more Cameron Dee incoming!

no you dont need a 4k monitor
