  • Let's discuss passthrough (not a yay or nay thread)

That is pretty cool, for sure.

justsomedude101 Can confirm - took a bit to get things setup...but it's pretty impressive.

You created this vid? It is very impressive indeed.

justsomedude101 I feel obligated to mention that Passthrough + Virtamate might also be a game changer.

For me personally, CG models in PT seems to be a more interesting medium than real women in PT. It's not something I would necessarily wank off to like porn, but I think I would get a kick out of trying out.

(I probably don't have PC specs good enough to run VAM though; only have a Ryzen 3700, RTX 3080, and I see you have a RTX 4090!!!)

          Oh no, just followed the instructions in that post and got things working identically 😅

          For me it's a fun thing to experiment with "on the side". I don't have the time or dedication to create myself what some of these folks are able to do with creating full scenes/etc., but fortunately you don't really need to with the right Patreon subscriptions/etc. And a ton of free content is there on the HUB.

          And your setup should be fine. VAM is notoriously un-efficient with GPU and CPU power, so even with a 4090 the improvement over a 3080 would be a lot less than you'd imagine. I have a 3080 and it does the job, and even my old 2080 did.

              Wow -- that is something else! You know, I think I bought one of their devices when they were a startup and wasn't happy with it, so I tossed it. But this is incredible.

              Or am I thinking of something else?

                  mebejoe Or am I thinking of something else?

                  Probably! VirtAMate is a VR porn sandbox. You can toss 3D models, textures, scenes, clothes, toys, whatever, and then play in it!

                    I wish there was an SLR-branded VirtAMate or something similar, with official 3D scans, textures and voices from real pornstars 🤤 or even licenses for long-retired girls.

                    Oh, Holly Michaels 😌 A man can dream...

                    Tried the VAM passthrough thing for a bit out of curiosity and although it's fun it's also nowhere near the level that I would jerk of to it fidelity wise (and I have a 4090).

                    It's fun to move the models around and all but it's still a major pain in the ass to set up something other than just a basic pose. Really not worth it imo. Not trying to hate or anything, just wanted to add that I think this thing will be pretty sick in 6/12 years.

                    You know, with graphics that are actually lifelike in VR and most importantly a girl that is controlled by AI not by hours of setup. Having a few of your favourite girls walk around in your house AI controlled, do whatever you can think off. It's gonna be a strange but fun future.

                    mebejoe yeah, easily aligning would be great. Also having the right scale and a good perspective. And when you move your head from side to side the player should keep things aligned with your dick/body somehow

                        BTW, I had a 50w garden/construction led light laying around. It's like the equivalent of 5 ceiling lights. I turned it on at night and the passthrough is much better that way. Similar as during a sunny day I would say. These lights are only 15 bucks if you don't have one

                        If you look at the comments in aggregate it would suggest the primary issue to overcome is something like this:

                        A dude is ready to whack off--starts the video gets everything lined up to his physical space & gets going with the set of sexual actions filmed at a particular camera angle and point. Everything more or less works fine until the point that the camera is moved. At that point:

                        • The dude in real space has to move to match the camera change. E.g.: he has to stand up if sitting or lay down (if there's a bed in his space), etc. This includes, of course, moving his tissue, towel, lube, toys or whatever.

                        • He has to readjust a bunch of settings on the video app. Certainly: Tilt, likely Zoom, sadly sometimes Rotation, maybe even Horizontal overlap to adjust scale, etc.

                        • Rinse and repeat every time camera is moved (includes camera angle adjustments).

                        I know SLR knows this because you've talked about providing automated adjustments within AR videos. However, I don't think that will really work because too many of the adjustments are individuated to the particulars of the various viewers and their physical space (IPD, torso length, height etc.).

                        Rather I think they need to provide the ability for the user to save custom adjustments for each of the different 'sections' within an AR (passthrough) video. A section being a set of sexual actions in which the camera hasn't moved (e.g.: sitting BJ, sitting cowgirl, sitting reverse cowgirl).

                          Best practice for AR is of course to limit the amount of camera moves/adjustments in any particular video.

                          Best practice # 2 is for AR you absolutely cannot get away with putting the camera somewhere where a human head can't reach--like halfway down the torso. Recently, in one of the BETTER NEW AR videos they put the camera for a seated fuck where only a dwarf could possibly put his head. There was no way to line that up. The male model was laying down and they put the camera halfway up the torso in space.

                            mebejoe What if the viewer could use a controller to "locate" his dick

                            Lol 😆
                            I just thought that was funny 🤣

                              infiniteguy right, like the camera to far from his face, like in that one with the stripper in the begging, if look how's the cam is positioned only guys half stomach is in frame and if you sit in a chair the model is to close and she kinda standing on your legs, well not standing on your legs but her image is overlaping over your legs rather it look like her feet on your floor.

                              And dodgystyle they be having the cam to low, and this causes her ass to be half way up to my stomach.

                              Cam needs to be where dudes face is and as close to his face as possible, I rather zoom in then zoom out.

                              Laying flat cg rcg they pretty much nail that 90% of the time. I'd suggest just lowering it closer down by his face but distant is usually good.

                              I just think the cam should always be placed where male models face is to get his full body in frame. 🤷‍♂️
