sheldoncooper Iā€™d say their current scenes image quality is on par with SLR and CzechVR. Maybe they're using the same camera. I just tend to prefer SLR because they use the fisheye lens to give that 190Ā° angle instead of 180Ā°, which is better for close-ups.

But upgrading their camera to 8k is just one thing. Their recent and upcoming casting lineup is crazy, and remastering their best 5k scenes with some retired models is another great move.

    Hairsational How did you know? They stated in their forum that these scenes are natively shot in 8K. Are you saying they're lying?

      [deleted] Because I know what camera their 7K scenes were shot with and the scale and color characteristics of their supposed native 8K scenes is unchanged from that*.

      When the producers change camera the scale changes slightly because the newer camera usually doesn't have identical inter-lens distance to the old one. This is especially relevant between the camera they are upgrading from and the limited 8K camera options available.

      Similarly, camera models have different sensors and different image processing and that results in the color characteristics of the captured image varying between the models. Sites never correct for this perfectly and I'm yet to see any site upgrade camera without a noticable shift in colors.

      Additionally, they are now upscaling older scenes to 8K with some new method that admittedly looks a lot better than whatever method they were using for upscaling their 7K previously. Coincidence that they happen to start claiming scenes are natively shoot in 8K the very moment they introduce this new upscaling workflow? Nope.

      Beyond all that, why wouldn't they tell porkies about this when it's so easy to convince customers who really don't know any better? I bet they could do regular, non-AI upscaling of 5K to 8K and people would still be like "wow 8k! the image is so crisp!" because of the placebo effect.

      * It's possible that some of their lesser used production teams, e.g. their Spain-based team, are shooting in native 8K. Their main US-based team is not shooting in 8K.

      [deleted] I saw that too. There were some complaints after the first 8K scene, to which they replied that it was shot in native 8K with an entirely different workflow that still needed some optimization.

      SchnuppiLilac NA 3D - Does anyone know what this is?

      In case anyone else was curious:
      https://www.naughtyamerica.com/read/free-immersive-3d-video-for-oculus-nsfw

      There are two versions, either for Quest and AVP. In a nutshell, it's a 4K 2D video from 2023 transformed into a spatial video. It required a few simple adjustments to make it look right in HS. I only checked it out briefly but i thought the result looked pretty good.

      @Vrsumo2017 aka We need more...: I think you should check it out šŸ™‚

        SchnuppiLilac gonna check this out later. Any chance you could let me know what adjustments in HS you made for improvement? Still not use to all the settings there.

          Cbomb333 I used the Quest version (mp4) and had to adjust the aspect ratio (in basic video settings), maybe also projection and stereo but not sure anymore. That was it. In DeoVR it played fine, just had to zoom in.

            This is just some random pic I found with Google. The idea was just to make it easier to find the settings I was talking about.

              SchnuppiLilac I ended up using deovr. It was interesting but not something I would watch frequently. I definetly wouldn't pay the money NA is charging for it. Think it's 30 per month or extra 10 if you have a sub already. It should be free with a standard sub considering VR scenes are included already. Not consumer friendly. Eventually I'd like to try it with one of their pov scenes but I wasn't blown off my feet. Thanks for the share regardless.

              KMPVR leavingSLR ?

              I got a message about one of them saying "Scenes Hikari Sakuraba ā€“ Ass Cosplay with Hikari Sakuraba leaving SLR Premium on September 18. Secure your favorites now with pay-per-video option"

              Thats a bummer :-(
