  • All Swallowbay full videos coming to SLR with Passthrough

xeddin1 Mate an honest word of advice, get some stuff out there and get some feedback before going all in, potentially investing in equipment etc.

You mention this is your own tech, which triggers me to think this is going to be amateur level stuff and nothing like SLR passthrough which again makes me think - why would i even bother.

i'm trying not to be negative, but you just can't compete with the big boys if you don't have their tech.

I've personally blocked about 100 studios as they produce absolute garbage.

Please release a test scene to gain user feedback before you go all in - I'm honestly trying to be helpful 🙂

      I have a discord with over 500 members. Their feedback and my own is positive.
      I have all equipment already as I have been making content on here for the past 3.5 months.
      Took about a week to train the algorithm, now it takes about a 60% of a day for my AI to cutout frame by frame.

      I would say it is on par if not slightly better than SLRs AI passthrough (not considering grey-room scenes), though this is because I can also go in and manually adjust certain areas.

          xeddin1 As long as you give yourself positive feedback, then who cares, but you may be living in the amateur world of ' yeah for free that doesn't look bad'

          However in the'Real' world then things may change for you - But my feedback on myself is positive 🙂

          Seriously instead of political nonsense of saying what you are going to do and saying it's going to be incredible - give us a test scene !

          I'm calling you out now (my bullshit sensor is on overload) - Sorry i'm a realist and don't live off Unicorn and Rainbow Stardust 🙂

              xeddin1 That's good to release early as you can to listen to issues - In general it looks ok and a few years ago would be mind blowing - but the mask is not close enough to the body and the red background is showing through to much giving a general red glow around the girl, if you can try and cut the mask closer then that would look better IMO. - even if it cuts into the peformer as the red glow is pretty bad.

              Is there any chance you could change the red background to black to help with blending to natural surroundings ?

              No one has a red glow around them, but black is more natural IMO

                  What is your range at?
                  The red outline cannot be removed completely. Though it can be brought down to a sliver at a range of approx 250

                      xeddin1 I'm on Q3 using DeoVR and don't see this option - Probably the user setup of most users accessing SLR.

                      Am i missing something or is this a PC option ?

                      If that is the case then you need to re-think and work with the majority !

                          Silly-Sausage
                          I too am on Q3 using DeoVR.
                          In the passthrough section, in order you should see
                          Hue
                          Saturation
                          Brightness
                          RANGE

                          I assume you are also using the AI passthrough option if you do not see this. Use the chromo key

                              xeddin1 Maybe you have some sort of 'Creator Access' but under 'Image' of DeoVR i have Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, Hue and Sharpness

                              These are not options in Passthrough, they are under 'Image' - i think you may have creator options not yet unlocked to the public.

                                  Silly-Sausage
                                  I assure you I have no 'Creator Access'.
                                  You are looking under 'Image', that is not where you should be looking.
                                  You should be looking under 'Passthrough'.

                                  Turn Passthrough on, to the immediate right of the toggle there are two 'eyes', click the left most 'eye'

                                      xeddin1 I assure you I have no 'Creator Access'.

                                      Thanks for the help - athough that is not Ai passthrough it's Cromakey, that threw me.

                                      But regardless of the confusion - Mate it looks pretty good to me, lots of options to suit requirements and yes another great option from a good studio - Swallowbay.

                                      Cheers for being open and honest as a creator and accepting feedback - that is a sign of a good content provider.

                                      I look forward to what is coming 🙂

                                        Sorry, the swing in the background is causing a lot of problems. I am unfortunately going to skip this one for now.

                                            xoxo

                                            I have to have the full file be passthrough. It cannot just be an option.

                                              fuccaneer
                                              More so that I can get about 6 non swing scenes complete in the time it takes me to do one with the swing.
                                              As the philosopher Jagger once said, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try you can get what you need".

                                                  xeddin1 Is there some other sort of video you can do that highlights the Melissa Stratton video?
