Here are the things I'm noticing that are wrong with many passthrough scenes:

-The scale is off, causing the user to make their own edits (a recent example is the new Nelly Kent scene). This also causes unwanted other issues because moving sliders too much eventually makes the whole image disproportionate and not correct.

-The male performer's position just doesn't make sense and the body is too high up and and the penis is too far away. I don't know why but I'm assuming they don't test this at all before filming. First of all, no one has sex like that fully lying down. Usually if a girl is on top, the man is lying down but also has the upper half of his body bent (like sitting up in bed watching TV). Which brings me to my next point...

-It's too hard to line up the penis correctly when the position is like this. The penis is always lightyears away like this and it makes no sense. When I'm in VR I look down and my torso and penis are directly below me close, my penis isn't in front of me sticking in mid-air like many recent passthrough videos have. This is a glaring issue in my opinion. Yes it can be fixed somewhat by adjusting the values in DeoVR but when things are so out of whack, eventually you get undesired results, which then brings me to another point...

-The male body is floating too high up. This causes me to use the height and pitch value in DeoVR to get it as close as I possibly can to match my own penis. The height has to be lowered to such a point usually to make it believable. The problem with this is that when you do this unfortunately everything starts to become not to scale and the female model's head begins to squish in which looks awful. So at the moment you have to balance it the best you can but we shouldn't have to do this.

As a person who sees the value in passthrough this is a shame. Not sure if I'm the only one but it seems to be a trend as of late and I'm hoping SLR takes notice and takes our feedback seriously.

    I don’t think it’s getting worse. It was simply always inconsistent. (However I do find the studios fuck up less when the girl’s exceptionally pretty). On the whole though think it’s just they absolutely don’t give a shit coz people don’t moan enough. I think the camera guys are bored as fuck at their job and don’t care. Well or they are incredibly ignorant of the plight of the well meaning connoisseur..
    In any case being a faithful supporter of capitalism I wholeheartedly believe those jobs should go to the people who need and want and cherish them the most. After all those who can’t do the job are just getting in the way of those who can and should. So please mr owner… can you start interviewing?

    tmynx I agree with everything except the penis being too far. For the Nelly scene, once you tweak the horizontal/vertical offsets to +1.0 (or +1.2, I don't remember) to get a proper scale, I actually have to zoom out to x0.85. I'm just 5ft8, so there's no way the penis is too far at x1.0 zoom, quite the opposite

      I miss the old SimsenseMedia PT videos for SLR Originals, they were infinitely better in every way (perfect scaling on some videos, incredible sharpness and better constructed scenarios) with these videos I really had the impression that the model was really there and for me the most important criterion is scaling and unfortunately the new SLR and VRPorn scenes are ruined because of that.

      Yeah the new team isn't anywhere close to simsense unfortunately. What happened to him anyway his PT videos where simply amazing.
      Let's hope the new guys will get better

      The old SimsenseMedia Alpha PT videos still outperform by a large margin the current PT Alpha vids in terms of picture quality , sharpness and details ! And this is not acceptable ! We should get technical progress but not regress ... We know its possible - so just learn how and make it better !

        boboweb I don't think they test their PT videos before releasing them and maybe it will improve but so far it's off to a bad start and I can say the same for the ar porn videos from vr porn because the scaling is very bad on their videos despite incredible visual quality and czechar has not produced any videos since June 5th it's a very bad period for the PT but fortunately the AI ​​passthrough is there to compensate .

            n0den

            Yeah i am agree vr porn AR vids scaling sucks but visually they are ways better . Just if someone could combine SLR Alpha scaling with VR Porn AR picture quality ... Actually these were the older SimsenseMedia Alpha PT vids ...

              Since you clearly haven’t seen, The new simsense vids at vrp.com, the scale is way worse than SLR. People always love to complain, but it’s not that hard to fix in any decent video editor. I think you guys are doing a decent job and will continue to get better. Need better models tho in the US, that will change everything

                Guenthalg yes it's true that the new pt videos by slr have better scaling than that of vrporn but if we compare them with the old videos from Simsensemedia we immediately see the difference it has absolutely nothing to do with it how could the quality have dropped to this point I just wonder

                  Yeah this is a very sad development. Simsensemedia made wonderful video's and now those PT video's are sometimes so technically bad that they take all the fun out of them. Like those scale issue's with the Nelly Kent scene, totally ruins the whole scene. But also just can't line up my dick with the actor's one in ANY of those new George/Manny productions. And then there's the lack of detail in the image quality.

                  These guys really need to improve their work.

                    harigeharry Agreed. It should be a simple fix too. I know there are new challenges both with shooting VR and AR porn but it's a shame when some scenes get it right and others do not. Regardless I think directors need to remember that first most guys don't lie fully down when a girl does things to them, they instead usually sit up so they can appreciate the view. Also because of this the dick should be more south not in front of you in the middle of the shot. It makes no sense.

                      doublevr About Simsensemedia? Really? Not sure what there was to complain about these guys made top notch stuff. Everything lined up, they shot in super high details, these were pretty damn near perfect.

                          The video-quality and technical/positioning in the PT-production varies wildly. I remember seeing mr. Nash casually make the incredible statement in a thread that he did not watch all the films he produced (!) and it feels like this is the case with a lot of the content in general and in PT the attention to details and consistency is even more important than in regular VR.

                          The lining up is alpha and omega and if the producers spent 30-60 mins actually skimming through the films with a headset on I cannot fathom how they don't see what the problem(s) are?

                          With Simsen they usually nailed the crisp and clear image and produced 10/10 movies like "I'm Crazy About You", and then the next one would be gigantic or mini scale, cock way off in the distance or all lying position.

                          The inconcistency is a bit baffling.

                            Hey everyone.
                            We use same set up as before for PT scenes, both on production and post production.
                            Production films on same camera
                            Post production is done same as before
                            We are researching the issue with image quality and will update you on the results.

                              harigeharry I thought Simsense quality was good but the camera angles were all over the place and the guy he used most of the time didnt suit me.

                                There is also the casting issue. Lots of old Euro models that we've seen 100 times before. Did you book them because they have the most likes on their profiles? It would be wrong to assume that just because a model has more likes over 5+ years in the business and maybe 100 scenes that their new videos will outperform a hot new star who hasn't built up the same social following. More likes on a profile does not mean more in demand. The casting is even more tired than CzechVR, who at least introduce new talent on occasion.
