What happened with SLR Passthrough Alpha videos ? No update for months ?!s

Wendigo Define crappy please? If you mean the background - never again, thanks.
The fix for Zazie is up on the server, though might not be ready by tomorrow, that's not on our side, that more of a server processing speed, lately been quite an issue and improvements are being considered.

• 3 more scenes were shot last month and were just uploaded to slr:
  Charlie Red, Florane Russel and Olivia Sparkle.
  These scenes i personally attended and tried to help with whatever was possible.
  We tried to bring more edging into them and i think it was quite good. Honestly can't wait for them to be released.
• 2 more scenes were just shot on may 16 and 17 with Alexis Crystal and Katy Rose.
  Those were filmed by George solely, again edging inclination. Scenes are in the post processing stage.
• and lastly 6 scenes are scheduled in upcoming months with:
  Nelly Kent, Matty Mila Perez, Isabella de Laa, Fibi Euro, Lia Lin, Stacy Cruz

Yes i fucked up with this forest thing and i apologized for that.
I had hopes for it, but no more, at least not in Passthrough.
However i have to add that I've spent a bunch of time and put really lot of effort into the demo scenes.

• Firstly i wanted to make 3 series that were supposed to be connected/continued.
  For that i've made 3 original scripts, however due to language problems we had to reduce the words and simplify the script.
  For that we needed 3 models that would fit the roles. I went through the casting suggestions on the forum and made a list of the models that users wanted. Did you like the models?
• chose the outfits, two of which i bought personally by walking in the stores, also chose the accessories online. Did you like the outfits?
• went into the forest 2 times to film the best shots and spent quite some time on fiddling with stereo and angles to match with the footage. (you didn't like it)
• wrote a freaking voiceover text by myself which i agree didn't really fit, but i though it was cool in term of the plot. (it wasn't and you didn't like it)
• lastly tried new keying technics which are better then the previous once and i hope you will notice and like it.

So with forest and voiceover being removed, we are left with good models and good outfit and newer/better keying and some kind of the connected plot.
What else is crap?

Wendigo I saved those vids directly to my Q3 and so changing the file name wasn't possible via the headset. In using Heresphere with PT was easier (I already had it). The VRP alphas are ok. Nothing like SLRs alpha streak from September, IMO.

I don't know how you guys are going to get around the language barrier with the eastern european girls.
This might just be a me thing but I don't think any of the european studios can ever have as good of VR because of this.

VRPlayful put in the best effort I have seen with making a long great story that moved from place to place. Unfortunately because of language the story really never goes anywhere.
I am not trying to take anything away from the studios or the girls. I just happened to be born in America and only know english. I assume that most of the people watching VR porn speak english.

I feel like the PT shot in europe is just going to be different girls in my bed. No real story. This is a long term problem if some other company starts making PT with american girls that can actually talk to you.
Good luck with the whole thing and think about getting an american team going again.

Yo! Just wanted to give a shoutout to the voiceover. I thought it was creative, especially paired with the supernatural theme. It reminds me a little of the binaural audio content one might find over at the gonewildaudio subreddit.

rerun119 Yeah. I think the best move would be to work the language barrier into your plot if your core target audience is English speaking. Just accept it. I love Latina videos (VRLatina, BrasilVR) and a lot of them don't even try to speak English and as someone who doesn't speak Spanish or Portuguese I don't care. It is actually hot when they exclaim in their native language. Whereas when they try and have a non-English speaking actress act like they speak English it is a mild put off (for me). Heavy Eastern EU accents in English isn't very hot anyway (IMO), so best to just roll with it.

A theme you can run with for the most part is The Tourist.

IMO, if you are putting a bunch of effort into the setup, you are focusing your efforts in the wrong direction. Hot women, camera positioning, sex positions, ideal lighting, sound, clarity, and FPS are most important. Also, while I love outdoor scenes in 2D porn, they don't tend to work well in VR, as they detract from the aforementioned VR quality. I have also noticed that darker backgrounds do better with PT AI, but maybe that will change as AI progresses.

One request I would like to make is if you could do more scenes where the sex starts while the women are still clothed and/or at various states of undress. Don't get me wrong, I want them to get naked eventually, but it is pretty hot to shoot a scene up front where you can't wait for her to undress. Or like taboo scenes where you are trying to sneak some nooky while hiding in the next room, etc. The opening doggy in this scene is exactly what I'm talking about, yet it is rarely done, and you still get a full rest of a scene/positions to satiate other's preferences: https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/gfe-truekarma-24126?playlist=562205 .Lifting up a skirt and hitting it doggy is perfect; as a pervy middle aged man in a college town this is my go to fantasy when out and about.

Manny_S Zazie Passthrough Fix Regular scene is up!
https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/treasure-hunt-forest-nymph-normal-passthrough-43895?t=66
le me know how it looks.

Manny_S First off, I want to say I appreciated your lengthy feedback with a peak into the BTS world. You took accountability for trying something new and it not panning out; trying, failing, and learning are all necessary parts of good advancement. Perhaps you explained this before, but I was curious as to why the CGI background was your first upload with the original Alpha following and not vice versa. I assumed there were issues with the Alpha version. Excuse me if my terminology is off.

Looking forward to checking out the Alpha version.

Manny_S 3 more scenes were shot last month and were just uploaded to slr:
Charlie Red, Florane Russel and Olivia Sparkle.

Please clarify -- I'm always looking forward to whatever is next and welcome producers trying new things. Are these SLR scenes? I see only one upcoming for Charli Red.

rerun119 Unfortunately because of language the story really never goes anywhere.

Indeed, storytelling in porn is so much richer and more nuanced when you can express yourself in your native language

mebejoe https://forum.sexlikereal.com/d/988-slr-backstage-pass/1689

mebejoe All of that for SLRO.
Those 3 were uploaded just yesterday, i guess we need to see some transcoding happening on the server first to estimate some date till which it will be ready to be released.

Wow this video looks awesome!

The picture definitely looks more focused and clear now, and the edges are really fine and sharp!

Thanks for bringing us this version .

Great work!

Wendigo "Joo leik my boops?"

let me guess

I'll take
You like my boots , For a thousand Alex.

boboweb in the scene with Florane there was slight miss in the focus in the first half of the video. we apologize for that, thats the second scene from new alpha passthrough production.
im personally taking the fix into work, adding additional sharpness which should improve the quality of this scene a bit, however the focus miss will still be noticeable. forgive us this mistake.
the next releases you wont find this problem.
we introduced additional sharpness into all of the next releases, which i think you will like.
check out this sample with double sharpness applied and let us know if that better https://insights.sexlikereal.com/videos/additional%20sharpness/SLR_520_fisheye190_Alpha_sharpness_test.mp4?

Manny_S I get mistakes happen, but the jokes are writing themselves at this point. That should have been found before it was released. SLR has taken such a nosedive in quality in the past year it would be laughable if it wasn't so disappointing.

Manny_S

Thanks for the info Manny.

I for one really appreciate your honesty and candour here, and certainly understand the Florane video was only the second production from the new studio, so can certainly forgive and understand folk are still learning and have a massive desire to continually improve .

The Olivia sample with double sharpness settings definitely looks super clear and crisp!

I am really looking forward to this possibly being the new standard .

Manny_S Despite the negative feedback I'm sure many of us PT crackheads, as Wendigo puts it, appreciate your efforts. Thank you for listening to us and keep at it. I'd love to see you carry on where Simsense Media left us, keeping the KISS principle in mind. Cheers!!
