Anyone else hate 6DOF?

Hurto11 Everything is always too far away for me. One of the biggest reasons I don't like PT. It is really obvious in PT.
The seated position that SLR shoots in every scene is always so far away that I have to zoom so much that the girl gets weird looking.
I don't know the height of the male actor but average male height in the western world is 5 foot 9 inches or 176 centimeters. They need to get a male close to this height for the scenes to be closest to everybody.

I think a lot of men that are confident enough to shoot porn are men that are good looking and tall. You can tell that a lot of the sites use tall male actors but it hurts, not helps the scenes for most males watching.

rerun119 they don't need shorter actors, they just need to learn where - PRECISELY - to place the camera so distances are realistic and angle is consistent. You have to experiment and it will vary according to the rig. Don't wing it. And if the camera is nearer/farther to the stunt cock in one part of the scene then clearly they fucked up because the viewer's dick stays at a constant distance. Most studios suffer from this inconsistency.

infernohammer For some reason DEO set the default 6DOF at 2 for the PT videos. This is way to much of an effect IMO.
It can be cool if it is set to around .60. I don't know if you can change it in the PT setting or not. You use to be able to change it in the regular setting before they added a second 6DOF.

Hairsational If he is 5'6' then it's what @vrpicasso said. I still think a lot of studios just put the camera in the same place with tall actors, which just makes it even further away. You can just tell sometimes the guy is tall.

I mean even if they don’t shoot it perfect I wish they had better settings where you could adjust it easier without distorting the image if that’s even possible. Because using horizontal/vertical offset, zoom seems to just stretch or ruin the image. Height seemed to work best in terms of immersion. I’m only 5-7 so lowering that usually makes things looks more realistic for me and helps immseney with scale, but doesn’t help if models are too far away. I guess shooting closer is the answer but there must be a reason why they don’t do that. Maybe fov?

All negatives aside, the new Kelsi scene is prob the best PT I’ve seen to date. The lighting is done very well and it’s super clear without artificers in the background like you get with earlier PT vids. Also there was a lot more striptease which honestly is by far the best part of PT…to see the girls full body in your own room is just so immersive, more so than the other parts for me.

its useless, it sucks that I have to constantly turn it off because its on by default..

stustustustu

I hate it, it makes me feel sick. I keep turning it off and it keeps turning itself back on.

Just wanted an autofocus feature like we have in Heresphere. They said it was being worked on a year or so back, but I guess that got forgotten.

harigeharry

yeah it actually almost made me hate PT, until I figured I could switch it off. So I'd say it definitely needs to be off as default.

Kieshi

Hi guys, thank you for your feedback, we understand your point of view and we will make 6DOF off by default in the nearest release. You will still be able to switch it on yourselves, when desired.

infernohammer

Kieshi Thank you for listening to us! I'm sure I can speak for everyone in saying that we appreciate your team taking our feedback and making this change for us.
