Manny_S Very interesting read, I always quoted https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/big-black-tits-28255 when mentioning some of the best video quality I ever seen on a SLR scene (although it had some scale issues).

That quality was such a standout to me at the time that I mentioned it often. I remember I thought the camera hack was the reason for the lower quality/sharpness down the line but the aperture explains so much. Other studios like VR Allure had a few far sharper scenes like that back in the day too. They must have done something similar. Annoying really, cause an out of focus scene is often ruined but the quality difference is pretty huge when done right.

Also, weird all these studios still have to use this Canon camera that is so hard to operate and has a weird ipd. You'd expect there to be more of a choice in VR camera's by now. Like with a good ipd, ease of use and form factor at a somewhat reasonable price for a compony. I mean how hard can it be to implement good autofocus with AI or something for a company like Canon?

Also hoping Nvidia will finally up the maximum decodable resolution on their GPU's this generation so companies will innovate and push the envelope of their VR camera's again. I mean for instance the fm duo 12k. Just having a larger resolution censor can make a huge difference even if it's only used for 8k. Can't wait to see what porn would look like once camera's like this scale down: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/media/release/20240611-02. I mean that's 16320x7200@90fps. Absolutely crazy.

and i already found one bottleneck of quality loss
and as i said, takes longer to process, but not as long as the last best quality version
we now have a hope for better quality of regular and PT scenes 💪

Manny_S yes, there is a difference i observed and loved the sharpness of those several old scenes
i can share with you more of the scenes where i noticed great sharpness of the image and fine details.
i was working on those scenes at that time:

Glad we could agree on a few details about the older scenes. These ones are great as well.

Certainly an interesting read on the depth of field due to aperture and the efforts in the post processing work, thanks for sharing these details.

Hopefully we get to see better scenes in the coming months.

    alphaRonaldo quick visual sample of differences
    the irony is that this gif is compressed too and doesnt show the exact difference but you can see it anyway
    these slight fine details are being lost with every step
    but now i think we solved it

      Manny_S Surely you don't have to output a new file after every step of the pipeline. That sounds like a horribly inefficient way to process a video.

        Hairsational what would be an efficient way then? to make stereo correction, denoise, alpha rendering from the raw footage?

          Manny_S made a quick comparison for you

          Did my homework. In this example, the pale one looks more natural than the previous EU example I mentioned (I think Emily Pink) while the other one might be a bit too yellowish for resembling melanin. In direct comparison, I might prefer the paler one.

          Would be interesting to see the same comparison done with this video with two different skin tones.

            SchnuppiLilac reuploading the scene btw with new color
            what is this scene you shared a screenshot of? cant find it 🤔
            im pretty sure its Venus Vixen on the left, but from scenes with her i cant find it
