  • Passthrough changes heads-up

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 👍

            Hey, ima leave this hear. This what my thoughts "review" were about the 13.3 passthrough version..

            I commented this on another site.

            I don't need a whole porn set to be set up for passthrough, as long as i get a good laying cg rcg with one color wall background behind the model thats all i really need cuz I'm normally just laying looking straight at the model, I'm not looking around at my room.

            Vr studios don't have to go the extra mile using green screen or black rooms... just set up the environment "background" where it works decent enough to use with a passthrough. Solid colored walls, less objects in the room.

            And blonde hair models come out best, idk why but their blonde hair stays soild, with black hair models their hair becomes see through, not really a problem tho...

            And I'm not saying just book blones for my ar fetish, I'm saying how the passthrough "13.3" works with the normal vr vids we been watching.

            Now if we wanna talk about green screen, slr green screen scene...the model had dark hair but everything from her dark hair to her body was soild. Guess it only works like that with green screen.

            End quote.

            13.3 version was working well, decent enough on many videos, but we were just patiently waiting on more actual videos that were filmed specifically for passthrough like the green video and black backgrounds. 🤷‍♂️

            This new version works, just takes way more effort then b4. Not to enjoyable, killed my vibe...😟

            I was using passthrough 95% of the time too with 13.3 version.

            Hopefully we get reverted back. 🥺

            Another negative I noticed...

            So, it takes way longer to find a good pt but once u find it...

            Example: say I fix up a good pt during laying cg cg, well once it changes position the passthrough loses, then u gotta fiddle with the settings again...

            This was not a problem with the first version
            Once you set a good pt you had it good for all positions 👍

            To be honest the first version was really good, thoes of us who used it regularly really had no complaints, aside from the minor ghosting on dark hair and tats the first version was way better,

            it was yalls best work 👍 👏👏👏

            2 months later

            We were discussing recently a domination passthrough scene where the user perspective will be from laying on the floor.
            What do you guys think?
            Theoretically we could use something green representing a male body for model to manipulate with, so it feels more realistic on the contact and would give you feeling that her actions are directed towards your own body.
            And a green dildo for more realism.
