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 .
Passthrough videos are getting technically worse
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

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.
harigeharry everyone was complaining about them before they left. That's funny
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.
@doublevr I just did a quick forum search on Simsensemedia and found nothing but love. Not sure where you saw people complaining?
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.
takabom I agree, that scene is top notch. Luckily I've discovered a way to create my own PT videos using AI, though it can be very time consuming at higher resolutions and is best implemented using 2-6 minutes clips during the same position. The results are very good however.

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.
vrpicasso Euro PT is never going to be very good unless all you want is a non talking girl to just walk into your room.
It's not anybody's fault but the language barrier is a big wall to overcome. With PT you don't have anything to help with the plot. It's just a girl and that is it unless you want extra stuff floating around the room.
rerun119 EU girls that dont talk isnt necessarily a bad thing because if they could speak English well they would be saying the same "your dick is sooo big" nonsense as the US girls. Some of the US girls just won't shut up.
Hairsational EU girls that dont talk isnt necessarily a bad thing
It can be just as bad when the directors instigate them to replace the big dick talk with contorted facial expressions that make them look as if they were walking barefoot over a bed of hot embers or giving birth.
Great performers + hot talent transcends language. I just don't want to see only the tired 2019 era Euro stars. What a waste of potential when there are so many hot new chicks available - more than even in the USA I'd say, thanks to OF taking all the talent. Not one interesting Euro PT booking yet. The USA PT bookings were generally top fucking tier.
a month later
Manny_S Hi Manny, looking for any updates as I haven't noticed any improvements. We're not alone here. I don't think any other studio offering AR passthrough has come close to the quality of SimsenseMedia. They just had that secret sauce which made for amazing immersion. Appreciate your efforts.
