Passthrough & Greenscreen

Vrsumo2017

Lenovo because quest 2 passthrough does not work wel

Humm, it really don't bother me to much, I'm not looking around in my room, I'm focused on the action, my real background environment just happens to be there, and idk bout others but in pt I get a sense like someone there, like if you had your eyes close and someone walks in you sense someone there. Also the upclose like 69, kissing or titties in your face seem more real then regular vr. Like the 3d is enhanced. Idk 🤷‍♂️ but that's what pt does for me and I like it! 😏

Vrsumo2017 its really simple. slr's passthrough content is not ready for the masses. there are too many issues that they havent solved. 99% of people currently dont have a headset with passthrough or have passthrough so bad its not worth using (quest 2). the passthrough content is also replacing the few higher quality scenes in the pipeline that more paying customers actually want to see.

Please keep posts on topic, this is not a thread for or against passthrough, feel free to contribute in appropriate thread, or open a new one, thanks.

Sandi_SLR Any update on the release of this feature?

Sandi_SLR

thatthotok Hey, we didn't attach it to any release yet, will post an update as soon as we do that.

Sandi_SLR

Hey everyone, good news, we scheduled this into 13.8 release, so expect it live in the middle of March!

I will follow up with a full guide for other studios, since they can prepare it up front if they choose so.

New era for passthrough is just around the corner 🙂

Sandi_SLR excellent news! for me passthrough is the main drawcard to owning a VR headset.

I don't understand a lot of the tech behind it. But I am excited about new PT content and the prospect of being able to watch my favorite existing non-passthrough scenes with full passthrough functionality and no weird artefacts or invisible hair/eyes or inside the actresses mouth.

I know you guys have been getting some heated backlash from a very vocal minority of posters for daring to experiment and develop this new tech and release the content for users to enjoy in the here and now.

Unfortunately sometimes there are people who can't be pleased. But to add some positivity.. please know that some of us really appreciate what you're doing and can see that by developing PT you're investing in the future success of SLR.

PT is highly likely to be the next big thing with watching porn using a HMD, and you guys are bringing it closer all the time.

Jacksonjdr94 which headset you got?

Sandi_SLR

Jacksonjdr94 Thank you for encouraging words, knowing what we are doing behind the scenes, I will repeat, what I wrote before, that there will be a point where all videos will be shot normally and have choice of good passthrough experience if one chooses it. No more need for greenscreen in porn production. Then we will look at this period as unnecessary banter and chill.

Sandi_SLR have yall seen this?

Now, Who wants to be zapped into porn scene? 🙋‍♂️

Vrsumo2017 I don't want to be inserted into a porn scene, but I have a whole list of women who I'd give this treatment to!

Always appreciate research and testing to push the limits. I have been personally manually keying my own footage on the greenscreen videos so far with excellent success. Even though my pimax headset does not have passthrough, I am using some old footage from when I still owned a K2 pro and it matches scale perfectly with your scenes. I am able to greenscreen my own custom backgrounds and the resolution is as good as the main video, something I doubt any headset with cameras will be able to match for several more years.

One quick question with this update. Will these changes remove greenscreen moving forward and will these updated scenes still allow us to key out the background on premiere?

Sandi_SLR

metichemsi yes, we are removing the greenscreen and baking it into alpha, so basically we are doing the keying for you. You will be able to assemble the alpha in premiere and use it as matte.

metichemsi

Sandi_SLR Incredible! Dont listen to all the hate regarding passthrough, the problem is that most of them have not even experienced a decent passthrough experience. The passthrough effect on premiere with footage from the same camera and at similar angle is incredible. Now i just wish i would have kept my K2 Pro in order to go out and shoot some more background locations for these videos before i upgraded to the R5C. That or you guys upgrade to the R5 C hahaha

metichemsi

Sandi_SLR any advice on how to assemble the alpha to use it on premiere, cant figure it our for the life of me

Sandi_SLR

Quick update!

The feature is in testing phase and it should be released at start of next week as part of 13.8.1

We will start with this video, it should be ready on release https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/asmr-closeup-personal-attention-from-xxlayna-30056
And the rest will follow as fast as our editors can get it out.

When we manage to convert all the greenscreen videos, we are also returning all videos under SLR Originals studio, since it should be much easier to watch them now, without that green color 🙂

I am looking forward to it, hope you are too 😉

Cheers,

Sandi

Awesome, really keen on giving it a shot! 🙌🏼

alina

Sandi_SLR is this feature available now? Can we view using deoVr?

Vrsumo2017

Will65 lol, it wouldn't be something I'd use on a daily but be cool to witness. Technology is getting very cray cray, when I'm HAF sometimes its kinda scary thinking about it and where it's going. 😮

Sandi_SLR
sounds great! 🥳
how can non-fisheye vr180 videos use this?
can it handle semi-transparent pixels in the alpha or only full opacity & full transparency?
and how come that we can't use a file type that supports alpha channel like .webm or .mov?
anyways, i'm really looking forward to it 😋

Sandi_SLR

converting equirectangular projection to fisheye should be no problem
its 8bit, so I that means 256 shades of grey / transparency
it is down to player our app uses, of course using video format with alpha would be cool, nothing we can do at the moment about it sadly

Sandi_SLR

alina Still not ready, we had to move it to next release (scheduled on 17 April) due some stubborn bug our devs had to solve.

We uploaded a sample video that we are testing it on currently https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/alpha-test-33753
So this is how it will look for non passthrough viewers, no more solid green BG.

One good thing is that we got extra time to do proper color correction, I will sit down with post production team to get best result possible.
