  • Passthrough changes heads-up

Guenthalg i agree that the skin tone gets affected way more with the new algorithm. before if you created a green or blue chroma, and adjust the color range, the passthrough would remove all blues, greens, purples, blacks, greys, and whites last, before affecting skin tones. now that is not the case. It is hard to find one color that will hit all the background colors prior to affecting the skin color with the new update.

That's what I notice too, I tried first doing this method,
Turn on passthrough
Put brightness to max
Then adjust the color, it look like it wants to work but like u say the pass through would effect skin, especially if there's camera light on skin, like the passthrough working to hard or something.

Seems like more work to find a good passthrough

I did notice brunette hair doesn't get effected like it use to. which a pluse.

If we could keep that
The chrome wheel
And how the passthrough worked before
I'd be fine with that. 👍

Oh and i like how the bodies kinda keep a straighter edge with this new update, it's like a invisible person but the skin is passthroughd. We need skin in 😏👍

Something needs tweaking. 🤷‍♂️

    Welp, guess this my final review

    I tried finding that comfort level I had with the previous version, but never did 🥺

    I notice brunette hair got effect way Less, that's a pluse 👍

    I noticed Bodie edges were less ruffer,, that's a pluse 👍

    But the options settings take more work now to find a good passthrough, I mean you can find one, just one scene I found got a good soild pass threw, but damn that took sum time ⏲️ 👎

    The passthrough I got on that video I could of easily got it with the previous version by my simple go to method for every video. I'm broken record

    Turn on passthrough
    Turn on saturation, didn't matter how much cus you were just basically turning it on
    Then adjust color to -10 or more and slide back down till you got a decent passthrough...

    Which i got on many videos with previous version with that quik method.

    I was trying to find a easy method with this new version but I never found it....🤷‍♂️

    Every video was like

    Just messing with the settings the whole time 🤷‍♂️

    Edit: I know this version supose to work good with black backgrounds, and will varie from video to video but the previous version worked good with many videos and with black backgrounds or green screen
    And was faster getting into a good passthrough.

    This version I can find a color fast (usually trying white walls)
    But body skin gets effect when trying to get a good pass threw.

    Hope this helps, 👍🥂😉

    Damnt, now i got give a example lol

    https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/charitable-donations-6601

    For example I'm trying to take the white background wall out, I put the chrom wheel on white and adjust the color range..

    #s going down are
    63
    2
    84
    300
    1000
    And thats on cg rcg part.

    It takes the white out good but the bodies get effected

    My quik and easy method with previous versions would of worked great with this scene.

    Saturation on
    Color range about 6
    Opacity 99

    Would of been in a decent passthrough quickly. 👍🥂

    Found better settings for that scene

    54
    67
    100
    339
    1000
    Cg rcg parts.

    Bodies not effected much but still took more work to find right settings.

    Previous version

    Lol, would of got me there faster. 😏

    I like that trying to give us more control and the colour wheel is a good step in the right direction, but I hate these changes. Was hyped for this update and just disappointed 🙁

    I had around 20 favourite videos with passthrough working very well and now after mucking around for 5-10mins on multiple clips, I can't for the life of me get anything to work - not even plain ones with pure black backgrounds like Noir scenes. Very painful and tedious, can't get anything to work like before - I have no idea what I'm doing now. Used to be able to try and get things working just by tweaking a few things.

    Is there anyway for me to revert to the previous SLR app version?

    Also I think the colour wheel and the whole process would be a lot better if you could:

    • select colour wheel
    • pick a colour by selecting it in the video, colour gets removed
    • repeat this as many times as you want for multiple colours

    Is this possible?

    Really pleased SLR is focusing on improving passthrough, but this feels like a step backwards @doublevr @Sandi_SLR

      ttv34 can't get anything to work like before

      Lol, what is dis, i can't get jiggy with dis 😂
      Guy from next Friday movie.

      Guess it's back to regular no passthrough for me for now, it's to much fiddling with the settings just to find a passthrough.

      Previous version was easy and faster. 🤷‍♂️

        Yeah the new settings don't work at all the way they're supposed to. It's awesome they added the color wheel, but when you select the color it seems to just take out everything with it. I think if you had two color wheels that would be ideal, where you can select a color to remove....and ALSO select a color to remain unaffected by any changes. That way you can remove the background, but then select the skin tone and clothing color of the model so those don't get changed.

        Ideally these setting should be figured out and applied automatically to each individual video but that's obviously a shitload of work and effort to program I'm sure. For now though, the settings need to be a little more nuanced.

        I also think having Saturation, Color Range and Brightness is unnessecary. There should only need to be the removed color range and falloff. I think the way it is now is just super confusing and not intuitive.

        So am I correct in that Quest 2 with airlink or virtual desktop + DEO doesn't support passthrough modes? The app has been updated so I can see a passthrough feature now but with VD the passthrough bits just turn black. VD has no passthrough environment.

        We have the adjustment basically ready to go, it will be included in the next release.

        It will be closer to what it was before, also we noticed falloff and color range sliders have way too much range, so we will limit it to get finer control.

        As you can see this is a learning process for us, you are expected to match the color for best result and we understand using Saturation, Brightness and Hue is not intuitive to some, so we will work toward implementing the color picker, that should streamline all of this hassle we go trough now.

          Sandi_SLR Sounds good! Will it be like seperated, "Colour 1", "Colour 2" etc or will it be from the wheel? Found it really hard to select the dots in the colour wheel (really small), and get the colour want to target. Would love to have "click colour 1 > click a part of the video with the colour want to remove", for each colour ? Would be amazing

              You know, it would of helped if yall posted the INTRUCTIONS!

              1. If the scene has a single-colored background, use the chroma key wheel to choose the nearest color, then set the saturation and brightness bars to max, then move the Hue slider around. You might need to adjust the saturation and brightness levels until the chroma key box color matches the background colour of the video. Finally, adjust the Falloff/opacity level until only the background has disappeared. [See below for more info about the chroma key tool.]

              Been going threw a few vids, I got it to work!

              I can pertty much find the same results like the previous version, but the previous version was faster getting there, I do notice less ghosting on eyes and black hair. Which is good 👍

              I notice there's an update for the app, I skipped it cuz I found them instructions last night and wanted to try them out today.

              So it works, yall had it right, it's not like it doesn't work but the previous version got me there faster.

              If only yall would have posted them instructions here, maybe yall did, I just never saw it 🤷‍♂️ 🥂

              Omg, I just did a video using that method of the instructions, got there quik, plus I notice hair not effected way less on dark hair models and tats less effective. 👍

              INSTRUCTIONS! no one thought about posting the instructions here on slr? I had to find em on deo blog 🤦‍♂️ lol 🤣

              Fuck, now I'm afraid to update, this keeps the dark hair in really good 👍

              Smh, all we needed was the instructions 🤦‍♂️

              Works great, "the second version passthrough"

              I don't know about the new update today cuz I skipped it.🤷‍♂️ if yall did update it.

              When someone updates, let me know how it work cuz I kinda like this second version. I already got good passthroughs on few videos in a short period. And brunette hair and tats stays solid oh and eyes 👀

              Welp I got it to work "the second version"

              It's works the same how it varies from video to video like before, very less passthrough on eyes, dark hair and tats but still way longer to get into a good passthrough then b4...

              Before
              Passthrough on
              Saturation on
              Color range about -10 and pull it back

              That was my go to first method for every video and it worked great. Varied from video to video but it got me in a passthrough quicker and worked on many videos.
              Especially with soild back ground colored walls, rarely did I ever need to mess with hue or brightness 🤷‍♂️

              Ima update the app, see if yall switched it up. 👍

              New update, guess no changes to the passthrough?
              Works the same.

              Version 13.3 was great 👍
