  • Suggest background composition themes for Passthrough videos

metaverse Very nice, I had no idea this labs channel even existed haha Sweet, thanks for sharing!

    There is one studio on here (can't remember off top of my head) that does Latina videos with a river/rainforest in the background. Someone must live in Central America with an awesome view. The background alone is worth the price of admission.

    I'd love to have interesting backgrounds of any type. Off the top of my head, candles, rooftop lounges, waterfall, mansion rooms, spaceship or another planet...

        doublevr Wow, I just discovered that the scene is removed - good thing I downloaded it! The studio is VR TOUCH. The scene is 'Savage Girl In A Rainy Day'. I searched the web for this scene or even this studio, and I can't find anywhere. The studio is still here with 8 scenes: https://www.sexlikereal.com/studios/vr-touch

        I don't know why this scene (along with some others I liked) was removed?!

            SchnuppiLilac YES! The second link you listed is the studio I was referring to. It's not raining in this one, but that's the exact same place where the other one was filmed. In that one, there was a BEAUTIFUL tropical rain occurring in the background, and it was one of the best things I've ever seen in VR. They could have removed the girls and I would have enjoyed just the background!

            The girls are fun and sexy, and they do some really nice stuff modeling and playing. I wish I could find this studio on the web, if they aren't going to list their scenes here.

                  MickyCheese Would it be possible to bring Alpha channel to the older pass through videos (e.g. alpha channel on Katrina Reed's video that was demoed a few weeks ago)?

                  Regarding scene composition, I think rendering the whole movie will be a bit better from a performance and experience standpoint.

                  Chromakeying and replacing the background in real-time may degrade performance significantly on quest 2 (chroma keying itself judders from time to time).

                  Pt fans, you need to come to the your pt headquarters

                  So we can discuss pt, pt settings and find great videos that work like alpha production

                    MickyCheese we are optimistically looking into advanced PT playback along with dynamic background. We don't need to transcode every video to add pass through. Just upload alpha as separate file. Should put it out to the test soon

                    AI team is working to make all videos PT. Alpha channel is now default for pt.

                        doublevr That's awesome! Adding a separate alpha file will save a lot of time (not sure how it will work for video downloads though). The quest 2 got a 20% performance boost via an update last month so everything should work smoothly with alpha and dynamic backgrounds.

                        Just out of curiosity, how does the separate alpha channel file work with the older, chroma-keyed PT scenes (e.g. Katrina reed's PT scene)?

                        I see 2 possible solutions for this:

                        1. Re-Releasing the scene as a non-chroma keyed video with alpha (i.e. original green screen video without chroma key, but with alpha).
                        2. Re-Releasing the color-corrected, grey version of the original green screen video with alpha (without chroma-keying).

                        I believe option 1 saves the most time for editors, but option 2 is more consistent with recent scenes and is more convenient for people who don't use PT.

                        @Sandi_SLR posted an alpha test a while back for Katrina Reed's PT scene, which shows what option 2 might look like.

                          I loved the ideas mentioned above, like the one about having a second video or using 180/360 degrees photos as a background then rerender it. But let's face it, pulling that off smoothly, gonna require a lot of maneuvering.

                          You know those environments in "Meta Quest 2" and in similar apps like "BigScreen"? They're incredible! We can already move around, sit, and interact with everything. It feels so real! How cool would it be if DeoVR could work with that kind of environment? Like, if it could remove that virtual body and blend seamlessly into the surroundings? Seriously, that's what I'm really hoping for with this whole passthrough background thing! I might even end up watching scenes over and over.
