@TheEmu
Thanks for that clarification. '..probably the best thing to do is to apply an anti-aliasing step to the final image ' ..sounds like a practical solution to the problem. I will experiment with different sized images & revisit @Lezardo's anti-alias shader to see if that can be worked around & applied somehow in there also, although the 'jaggies' probably requires an anti-alias hard code change somewhere in the shader someday, to properly optimise the result as you say. The Complex functions shader incl. progressive steps is really awesome as a concept.

With respect to the Unknown - e#22678.2 - Modified.fsh ...& recent uniforms, we appear to have been engulfed with the fiery background now (Reds/yellows) swamping the torus. I tried a barrage of tweaks to try to send it back Z-wise in 3D camera however only managed to change overall the colour (line 191) not the background's pervasiveness/distance from the camera, eg (above pic):
191 // was color = hsv(d, 1.0, 1.0)*mind*45.0; // Background
192 color = hsv(d, 0.3, 1.0)*mind*45.0; // Background
193 return color;
Edit: Ooh Ahh..just saw Melena Tara spinning back to dressed mode on fullscreen..I thought a few of these transitions slipped through..don't mind at all .. as long as the hanging ones stay away 😉 lol.

Eileen - She's having fun putting on a show for us and I enjoy every minute of it.

Ok. Let's get this thing clear here. I understand that non-Native English people may get a few words ***** in English. I do it all the time in Spanish :(

Eye BROWS are the hairy bits ABOVE the eyes. Eye LASHES are the hairy bits growing on the very edge of the eye LIDS (top and bottom).

Melisa's eyebrows look fine to me. Her eyelashes are so heavily covered in mascara, they just don't look natural and are completely tangled together. Shabba's eyelashes or just a joke! :(

@Shodan: You're probably right of course. You only really see the details in photos :)

@Shodan084
I agree... talking about crazy eyebrows I though of something like Shabba - Happy Ship. Now that's a makeup disaster!

I've just been watching that card and you'd have to be looking REALLY close to notice that her eyebrows are 'enhanced', this thread is a storm in a teacup.

Just more Melisa please! haha!

It really serious?
Tracy has 5 solo cards ... and 0 duo card?

... and still nothing duo cards ...

Would love to see these being used!

Here the data from the DeskBabes website:
European: 622 cards
Asian: 9 cards
Black: 4 cards
Latina: 14 cards
Middle east: 13 cards

all: 700 cards
difference: 38 cards not counted

###

Here the data from the DeskBabes and DeskBabes interactive in store of the software (version: 1.2.0.84):
European: 613 cards + 65 cards
Asian: 9 cards + 2 cards
Black: 4 cards + 0 cards
Latina: 22 cards + 0 cards
Middle East: 11 cards + 4 cards

all: 631 cards + 69 cards

In DeskBabes are:
2 cards Asian and Latina
3 cards European and Asian
3 cards European and Black
13 cards European and Latina
7 cards European and Middle East

613 + 9 + 4 + 22 +11 = 659
2 + 3 + 3 + 13 + 7 = 28 (double counted)
659 - 28 = 631 cards (only DeskBabes cxxxx)

But on the website of the cards only one of the "Type" are displayed.

Here are the 28 double counted cards:
c0118 c0122 c0248 c0250 c0252 c0255 c0279
c0283 c0284 c0329 c0331 c0333 c0345 c0347
c0349 c0352 c0354 c0355 c0451 c0453 c0454
c0493 c0494 c0495 c0496 c0527 c0529 c0532

Checked with my own batch files, and text files (with various categories).
I can not verify with the VGHD software because I do not have these cards in my collection.

The pictures show an indirect comparison in VirtuaGirl store.

@EverthangForever

In the edit to your previous post you said "I'm wondering if the Complex Functions shader is having difficulty rendering some of the more concentrated iterations."

I assume that you are talking about the result of using the Complex Function shader when using it to distort an image. If so then what you are seeing as "jaggies" are probably due to the finite pixel sizes involved. In principle this could be overcome by using a much higher resolution for the original image - but that is not practical. The problem is exactly that which used to be seen when rescaling any digital image or font, but which is much less often seen nowadays because anti-aliasing techniques are used. It would be a good idea if anti-aliasing were built into the Complex Functions shader, but I do not have it as a high priority on my "to do" list.

Update: What happens when you use a "texture" is that when the shader is determining the colour to use for a particular pixel in the image being generated it determines what point in the texture image corresponds to the pixel in the final image and uses its colour. In general this will not correspond exactly to a pixel in the texture and the actual colour used will be some sort of average over the nearest pixels in the texture. This is done by the GLSL function texture2D.

This works quite well if the texture image is smaller than the image being generated (though a simple minded averaging can lead to a blocky final image) but has problems when the texture image is much larger than the image being generated. In this case two neighbouring pixels in the image being generated may correspond to widely separated pixels in the texture. Because they are widely separated any averaging over neighbouring texture pixels does not help because the two points in the texture are too far away from each other to be neighours.

Strange as it may seem you might actualy get a more smoothly coloured result by using a smaller texture, but of course you then ***** from the lower resolution in those parts of the final image that are not affected by the relative scaling of the generated image and the texture. As I mentioned above probably the best thing to do is to apply an anti-aliasing step to the final image.

Things are, of course, rather more complicated than what I have described, but it gives the gist of the problem.

I absolutely agree with Corax77

Melisa's faked eyelashes are terrible.

It's the reason why I only bought one of her new cards and I won't buy more. Too much Makeup at all for her. I was very disappointed.

Playful ***** and Tea :)

Hmm... I can post images...

Vinna Reed looks beautiful :)

I wish Anna Tatu, Playful ***** and Deny came back!

@Jununger. This one of Melisa appears to be a Totem image. The other is most definitely NOT! Don't go there... Scary people ;)

Oops. I just tried posting both a .jpg and a .png file. of Melisa. Seems the website bugs are still around :(

Click on the OP's link. It's safe :)

Not to be a nag... but why don't you attach the images to the post? If it's Totem content then there won't be any problems. I for one don't like clicking on links to sites I don't know or trust...

Can somene post the images in the topic... please..? 😐

I have to agree that your second link shows some damned ugly people who have no clue :´-(

Melisa however doesn't look so bad in that extreme close-up. Her eyebrows are plucked and painted a little but that looks pretty normal to me for a well-groomed lady.

The eye LASHES however... ARRRRGGGHHHH!!! They look like something growing under my bed in the corner right now! Not sure if it's a spider's nest or something worse... I'll scrape some of it into a test-tube and get it tested ;)

does anyone know whether new cards by Cameron Dee come?

New numbers after almost a year. I get on a regular basis to check to see if there there is anything new for guys like me, who desire something more exotic. Haven't had much luck. Sucks to love a software and would like to spend money on it but can't. Kinda wish they would be honest and say that they aren't interested.

Brynn Tyler sexy legs

Für mich liegt es ganz klar an den zu krass überschminkten Mädels. Ich habe auch gerade einen Thread dazu aufgemacht, da ich meinen Unmut über einen neuen Makup Trend äußern mußte, der für mich jedes noch so hübsche Mädchen entstellt.

Komisch, daß PapaJango ausgerechnet Melisa anspricht, denn gerade sie ist ein Paradebeispiel dafür (geworden). Sie hätte all die Schminke gar nicht nötig ...auch mit 29 nicht! Und als i-Tüpfelchen dann noch widerlich angemalten Augenbrauen. Das sieht so abartig schlimm aus, ich kanns echt nicht mehr sehen.

WARUM NUR? Warum muß man Brauen noch anmalen? Ich habe noch nie einem Mädel ins Gesicht geblickt und dabei gedacht: "Hey, die hat aber ausdruckslose Augenbrauen. Da müßte sie aber echt mal was dagegen unternehmen!".

Es sieht einfach nur fake aus und total billig. Für mich einer der größten turn offs überhaupt, obwohl es für manch einen sicherlch trivial erscheint. Möglicherweise denkt ihr aber genau so und habt es nur noch nicht damit in Verbindung gebracht.

Das in meinem Thread gepostete Bild von Melisa spricht jedenfalls für sich selbst (und ich war eigentlich immer sehr angetan von ihr!):

fs2.directupload.net/images/user/150704/tmsu69vk.jpg

Total verklumpte Wimpern, dann diese übermalten Brauen und insgesamt sowieso viel zu viel Makeup. Und dann nennen sich die Leute, die sowas verbrechen auch noch "Makeup Artists". *kopfschüttel*

Natürliche Schönheit ist heutzutage offenbar nur noch einen Sch... wert. Traurige Gesellschaft. Wie man wohl merkt, macht mich das sogar richtig wütend, da das einfach nur unnötig und kontraproduktiv ist, aber viele scheinen das einfach nur toll zu finden. Unfassbar.

just my two cents...

Hey there,

It's awful to see how makeup can ruin a girls facial expression. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against makup, but as the saying is: less is more! Think about it!

Lipsticks, eyeliners, a bit makeup here and there and slightly trimmed brows ...that's OK. BUT: These ***** trend to brush the eyebrows is absolutely sickening! This looks so fake, I can't bear to look. Why in hell are girls or "makeup artists" doing this? I always thought that girls are using makup to beautify herself and not to look like a damn alien! I see beautiful girls in my clique, in town, at facebook and now here on VG, following these disgusting makeup trend.

If you intend in future to deface the beautiful girls here on VG, there will be no cards for me to purchase anymore. I guessed these ugly trend would disappear from the scene real soon but apparently it's the new ideal of beauty. It's a pity!

I was so happy, when I read about Melisas comeback and then I saw this (click to enlarge):

fs2.directupload.net/images/user/150704/tmsu69vk.jpg
http://www.directupload.net/file/u/38518/tmsu69vk_jpg.htm

So that's sexy, huh? I don't think so! The M.I.B. would shoot at her with good reason (no offence!).

And NO, this is not a matter of taste. This is pure self-***** and a hard blow against natural beauty!

Sorry, my english is not the best but I had to talk about it. I hope I don't have so see some of these excellent creations, when I come back to check the next updates on VG.:

I don't want to make trouble or provoke somebody, but this ugliness has to come to an end!

Oh good, I had to rush out the door earlier, so I wasn't worried about getting the logo organised. I''ll add it later ...Yes using your complex set made the changes so progressive. Love that..and the transitions without masking are quite blendy the way you set them up. I'm not so worried about needing random functions anymore, its so easy to chop and choose combinations of textures with right-click in name trees now. Peeps can change the start func settings in as many copies of the scenes as they want to make. Some of the funcs are my favorites like with the escher type textures and @Lunarpups together. (above:-) Glad you like em.

Edit: updated 5th July ~ amended Complex Functions
by adding uniform: ContourDensity, int, 10,
~included SCNs for all group function starting positions.

@EverthangForever. I really liked your ComplexDomainTransmatGarden http://scenes.virtuastripper.net/ComplexDomainTransmatGarden.zip scene, nice mix of the transmat and older scenes. At first I had some trouble downloading it as the first two attempts resulted in inavlid zips, but the third attempt worked. I do get an error message

Root node: Couldn't load splash Info/large_logoELECTRICAveNewTheEmuTMCF.png

because the file is missing, but its not a problem because that doesn't stop it running.

Forgive me this chaos @TheEmu, I've revisited back where fractal garden series started ( before shaders) to use it as a sliding animation with selective opacity. The firewall tunnel of Transmats became a framebuffered set for the models to deep inspect close-up the effects on their journey inwards. Its intended to be run in its own name-tree multi, because by right-clicking you can avoid all the texture combinations that might be unaesthetic and move on to the next. So its manual change or it just gets more complex by @Emu's design. Nevertheless, nice with Blues Radio http://185.33.22.13:8030 as an experiment in motion & wonder that is virtually unlimited given that you've kept some earlier textures in ETImages/plaftexrot01/ and the Textures/ surfaces 215x215 folders.


Be forewarned: This update may not be ok for those prone to 'motion-sickness'.. so if you ***** from that be warned. Its really a celebration of complex domains so kudos Bardo et @TheEmu. cheers ;-) zip is 66.6MB

I have Adriana M very sexy legs and let me tell you she has legs. Have a good weekend.

Very nice photos everyone.
Here is Adriana M one boob out.

Ms Lynne again

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 ?
