agree in many ways quality has gone backwards. I will argue that studios that use or used in past the 5k/5k+ rigs (sexbabesvr, 18vr,czechvr, virtualrealporn) were the most perfectly scaled videos ever. Sense of presence/immersion was amazing because the scale. SLR originals 6k 200 also is very good. Not all 6k is however, look at 6k naughtyamericavr some of the worst scaled videos ever! which is sad because they got some of the hottest girls.
after those studios i say next step down in scale quality is 7k-wankzvr,badoinkvr...which is decent but not perfect like the ones above i listed. povr originals seems to get really good scale tho on 7k better than other 7k studios.
than all the new 8k which is badd.
I see 8k more as like this marketing gimmick, people think bigger is better. Coincidently the girls also get bigger and its like ur looking at a giants and all immersion is lost. Ill say it again, scale>resolution when it comes to immersion, god i wish more studios would realize that!
SLR originals i believe realized this side effect so they not creating 8k anymore and said there working on a new 10k rig, which looking forward to and really hope the scale will be good
Rakly3 i mean SLR themselves are one of the guiltiest parties in this. SLR could easily continue shooting with a 6k rig and just spitting out an 8k file from an 8k timeline all while focusing on the stuff that matters and the users would be happier. There is zero reason for SLR to shoot on an 8k rig when they haven't got the important stuff figured out.
bobbytables This wasn't meant as a dig on you. Sorry if it came across this way.
There also are several directors with different rigs for SLR.
Having several headsets, I can also say that scaling is different on different HMD's. ie when zooming in and out with the Quest Pro does not deform the image as much as the Quest 2 does. - It was actually the first thing I noticed when using the QPro for the first time, how much more straight the straight lines stay while also keeping the scale much more stable.
BTW, this isn't an endorsement for the QPro, I personally am very disappointed with it overal when it comes to porn consumption, putting it on and off your head, and cost for peripherals. 80 euro for a full closed light blocker. And it doesn't even block all light for me!
And then there's the apps themselves too. Most apps don't support SLRO 190° 200° 220° fisheye. If you're watching them on a 180° mesh, it's of course going to look all wrong. Or even with support for the correct FOV, the rad of the mesh also can differ between apps. As does the rad of the lens it was recorded with.
There's no cookie cutter standard for VR at this point.
spacepirate Every 8k scene? If you're referring to this site, maybe, but I think CzechVR does it right, even if their actors are just slightly too large.
A lot of canon rc5 scenes have scale issues (even though some are fine and a lot are easily corrected by a setting).
I am just suprised at some of the comments here as the visual difference can be so huge compared to 6k. To me its so much more realistic. But yeah, I hope a better camera will come along too
CzechVR does have the 8K nailed pretty nicely! There's a significant difference between them and every one else.
Rakly3 yeah, it's good but I think it's interpolated from 30fps I believe. At least I noticed it's less clear when in motion. Very good scale and consistency though.
Also read they feel the Canon rc5 had too many issues to switch. Still think the Canon can have the best image quality but also think CzechVR made the right call not to switch
Ventriloquist_Tacos yes every 8k scene including czechvr. czechvr does do 8k better than anyone else but their 8k is still far from "perfect" in the sense that its not absent of any technical issues. how is it not perfect? well they film at 30 fps and generate every second frame with software. that negatively impacts the image quality in fairly significant ways.
spacepirate yup, interpolation causes CzechVR to look like a smeary soft mess.
