@Calgon

I am not sure what you mean by "How can I get it to just calculate the number once".

Do you want

One random value to be used througout the run of the scene.
A random value calculated separately for each frame with the same value used for each pixel
A random value calculated separately for each pixel with the same values used in each frame.

Some thoughts are

Use a vertex shader. Vertex shader outputs can be seen by subsequent fragment shaders as uniform variables.

Use a fragment shader to generate a tiny image in a framebuffer - the value of one (even the only) pixels in the image being the value you want to cache fr later use. Use the frame buffer as a source for a subsequent shader in a different node of the scene and extract the value you want from it.

You can use a variation of the second of these if you are already generating an intermediate image in a frame buffer as you can "sacrifice" a single pixel of this image to carry the information.


I also do not understand what you mean by

but of course this seems to have used up the one and only texture slot.

as you can have up to four textures acting as sources for a shader.

I'd pay all over again for some of my favourite "golden oldies".

So would I. It's funny that Totem does offer to upgrade some cards on a subscription basis. Although they've added all sorts of new revenue methods over the years, they have stayed with an upgrades are free policy even when remastering old cards had to have an additional cost.

I'd be happy to pay the full cost of a card for a remastered old card in 3K or 4K resolution. I'd be willing to pay, say half now and half when delivered for some cards with the promise of money be if the card isn't delivered in say 6 months.

If enough people subscribe, Totem goes ahead. Not enough and we get our credits back.

@TheEmu

2) Use the least significant bits of the elapsed time as your source of randomness. The variability of a scene's startup times and timing jitter when running stop this being predictable.

Tried to code that but it updates the random number throughout the time the shader is running. How can I get it to just calculate the number once, cache it, and be able to call it as needed ?

@601bes Yep I think I would also. May be in time some do get the latest AI restoration treatment and perhaps it becomes a regular new feature for the App.

That show of Jewel is still a jewel.

highp vec4 zero = texture2D(texture0,vTexCoord.xy); // input zero 0
highp vec4 one = texture2D(texture1, vTexCoord.xy); // input one 1
... and further process that back into a format that a shadertoy shader would understand to be multiple textures that could then be used as normal.

highp is pointless for rgba 8 bit. highp is 16 bits per channel(i made this mistake ages ago). The output from the shader will always be in 8bit as we cant use even 10 or 12 bit hdr colour.


normal as in normal map? take a look at the lights and glass scenes, i create and use a normal map on the fly with them.

My Thoughts about using Crypto for Purchasing Credits.

Plan your Purchase to make the most of your Crypto.

Keep in mind that there is a cost associated to add funds to your Wallet to begin with.
Purchase enough funds to make that cost worthwhile.
$25 has about the same fee as does $200 dollars
So the cost is spread out better over the $200

It's just like an ATM fee.
Pullout $20 it cost $4.00 in fees --> 20%
Pullout $400 it cost $4.00 in fees. --> 1%

Check if there are ALT coins that you can use.
Altcoins usually go up and down more often then the Main Coin for that network

an Example is Sheba Inu
You might be able to buy Sheba when it's low
and then when it's value Goes Up, Buy your Credits.
Sheba can Swing 25% or more
Where as the Main coin might only swing 2 to 3%


You Gain in the Increased Value of the ALt Coin.

And that is what Crypto is about.
Buying low, and Selling or Using it for Purchasing when it's high.

Leverage your Gains.

I have everything all linked up as described in the how to posts and no NFT's. How long do they take or did I miss out?

@hobomonkey - Jon from Totem said the following on Discord;

Yes, you must have the latest version of the software that allows you to read trading cards.
You must have at least a bronze account with a transaction.
(this is a security to avoid people creating mass accounts to receive the trading card).

The sending of the trading card is not automatic.
We send the card every Monday to eligible people.
(we may send it again this week)

It is possible considering the late hour in Paris that you just missed the cut-off for it to be sent to you today

This transaction was simple and Straight forward.
Click the Buy button in iStrippers app
CoinGate asks what crypto you are going to use and generates an Invoice
Open your Wallet
Select the Coin to send
Copy the Amount directly from the coingate invoice
Copy the Address directly from the coingate invoice
( if your wallet has Pay by QR code, then just scan the QR code on th Coingate invoice )

Send the Payment -- > normally completes in less than 10 minutes.

Coingate will verify receipt of Payment, and your Credits are added to your iStripper Account.

I have everything all linked up as described in the how to posts and no NFT's. How long do they take or did I miss out?

I tested a buy of 250 credits with Crypto
Used my Coinbase wallet and Ethereum
$29.99 --> cost a total of $32.48 --> $2.49 in gas fees
I got the 20% bonus of 50 credits
so 300 credits for $32.48

$0.1082 per Credit. ---> 10.82 cents per credit.

Note:
When sending via coinbase
Make sure to select the correct network --> in my case it was the Ethereum network
Also, the QR code for payment wouldn't work for the web based Coinbase wallet.
( It probably works with the Coinbase App on your phone. )

When selecting the amount to send, Swap to eth, not $
you can copy the ETH amount from the Coingate pay invoice screen
Then Paste that amount of ETH into CoinBase.

Don't make the mistake of putting in $29.99 dollars, it is slightly more than that due to slippage.
You will end up short paying if you use $29.99 dollars.

Copy and Past the ETH
then copy and past the Address

You will get a confirmation screen from CoinBase with the fee to complete the transaction.
All paid from your coinbase wallet in ETH.
So Make sure you have enough ETH for both the cost of the credits and the Fee.

Thanks @ThEmu, I was hoping you would join the discussion

These all boil down to one of

1) Use a randomly selected image of some sort as your source of randomness

2) Use the least significant bits of the elapsed time as your source of randomness. The variability of a scene's startup times and timing jitter when running stop this being predictable.

In the digital clock scene I posted a few days ago http://bit.ly/3XL6O5P I already used 1) above. Having first set up 100 shades of grey that could be picked at random. I was very pleased with the result but of course this seems to have used up the one and only texture slot.

@Everthang mentioned that he uses framebuffers to get two separate textures into the shader e.g In FG842 so what I would like to understand how to do next... if possible is to convert that input which appears like this:

uniform sampler2D texture0;
uniform sampler2D texture1;
varying vec4 gl_TexCoord[];

...

highp vec4 zero = texture2D(texture0,vTexCoord.xy); // input zero 0
highp vec4 one = texture2D(texture1, vTexCoord.xy); // input one 1

... and further process that back into a format that a shadertoy shader would understand to be multiple textures that could then be used as normal.

Now, I can see the NFT cards on the carrousel (Paola Hard-Early Comer, Lana Lane-Shimmer Shot), with the price of a Triple Diamond Premium as I am and with the icon "Use my Gift card" and the icon "Buy in 1 click" to buy them. It seems that the NFT are managed like common cards by the software, but it doesn't work because I have no wallet. When I click on "Use my Gift card", an error is displayed saying "problem to connect with servers".

Fixes are being put in place by the team. 😊and I can confirm it has now been fixed

Year of the rabbit. 👍 😎

I just wanted to point out that, in the Lucky Rabbit game, the character 福 (fú) on the leftmost lantern in the background picture is vertically reflected, which is an incorrect representation of the character. However, 福 (fú) is often displayed upside-down to indicate that good luck has arrived. Happy Chinese New Year!

The ways I have seen for getting random numbers for use in shaders are

1) Use a texture that consists of random noise, use the elapsed time to select a point within that texture and then either use the value of the corresponding pixel or some function of it as a random number. At first sight you might think that this would create the same sequence of values each time but there is enough variation in the "start-up" time for a scene to overcome this predicability.

2) Just use a complex function of the least significant digits of a high multiple of the elapsed time. Or of the fractional part of such a function.

3) Use something based on a random selection of a texture from a folder full of textures and name this foder rather than a specific texture in a Texture: statement in the .scn file.

4) Instead of a random image use a randomly selected clip as the source of the texture used by the shader. This way you can expand the selection of random textures to include your whole iStripper collection.

These all boil down to one of

1) Use a randomly selected image of some sort as your source of randomness

2) Use the least significant bits of the elapsed time as your source of randomness. The variability of a scene's startup times and timing jitter when running stop this being predictable.

Or you can combine them.

Then use a function to amplify that randomness. For use in iStripper scenes you do not need a high grade random number generator.

If you want to generate a whole series of random numbers for a single output image then you can use the pixel co-ordinates as inputs to the "randomness amplifier".

So.... thought I'd use my Dolz from my newly set-up Coinbase wallet to buy some regular credits.... and bam !
If you plan to buy the NFTs then you might want to save your DOLZ for that. No point in paying fees to acquire DOLZ only to use it to buy credits that you can easily buy with a credit card.

You get 20% more credits so you dont have to wait for the reload bonus (if its still going to exist)

edit: 10% more credits,,, lame....

@Calgon What are you trying to do? Are you inputing two textures and outputting one or do you want the same shader to do the operation on two textures and use both of them?

In the first case you can have 4 (think 4 is max) input textures that the shader can operate on and output a single texture. In the second case this is not possible on one sprite or framebuffer as they would both have the same id so you need two sprites with calls to the same shader.

Me too!

I have no wallet, but i can see and play the preview of Paola Hard g0032 Early Comer in the Previews tab.@stefnev1I can confirm that. i have no metamask wallet either, in fact i thought it was a normal card and tried to purchase the card, but the transaction failed, possibly as i just stated, i do not have a metamask wallet.

@user5789 - we do not know if showing previews of NFTs is part of the marketing strategy but certainly it should not give you the impression you can buy it for credits - that is a bug and has been reported.

It really is a pity that this old cards cannot be brought to the quality of our days.Using one of recent AI softwares which can restore and upscale old videos, it would be actually doable.
We don't know if that would be cost-effective fot Totem, though.

Anyone know when are the next iStripper trading cards are planned for release ?

The show is released and it's perfect as always with Sonya 🔥🔥🔥

yes very butieful!!

In 1 hours from the time of this post. Enjoy the show :)

Can't wait for her Cosplay! Since I married Aela the Huntress in Skyrim.

It's today right?

C'est un sacré retard. Bon retour sur le forum. 😄

That's one hell of a delay. Welcome back to the forum. 😄

merci

The ones I look forward the most are Dee Vine and Eva Elle.

I do not know, maybe I have a broken system, I will not bother you kid when stefnev1 is OK.

Hi Wyldanimal yes I see two NFTs in my private OPenSea wallet ( hidden wallet ) Paole Hard Legendary edition and Epic edition these I got.
I did not get the Lana Lane Legendary edition?
I wrote to Celine and am waiting for a reply.
I checked it on two systems win 10 and 11.
I have further problem I open portfolio.metamask.io then click on NFT tab. And I don't see my NFT in Metamask portfolio I do everything as you wrote.

Thanks Wyldanimal for your detailed information relating to the post from Celine called "Lana Lane Trading card is yours now".

The bit that was relevant to what I was asking about was where you said:

Oh,
to see your NFT's in your Metamask Wallet go to the metamask portfolio.
https://portfolio.metamask.io/

then click on the NFT tab.

I did this and I see that I didn't have to do anything extra to have my NFT shown there. It was already shown there, (just without the picture of the card, which I assume is a standard thing in the NFT tab on Metamask).

I have no wallet, but i can see and play the preview of Paola Hard g0032 Early Comer in the Previews tab.

@Sexy3DBoy

Peut-être, mais c'est loin d'être l'édition définitive du client.

Maybe, but it's hardly the definitive edition of the client.

C'était juste une question de simple curiosité comme ils ont placé ces cartes sans aucune valeur artistique dans les onglets des danseuses.

So. [Blows thick layer of dust from card collection]. My first 3 were:

I would argue that Katerina still has some of the shapeliest legs, Lucy is still one of the most charming and sexy, but it was Jewel who stole my poor innocent heart! 😵

It really is a pity that this old cards cannot be brought to the quality of our days. There have been girls that are legend!

Shay Laren. Purple Rain. 27 of march 2011. I really forgot the reason of my choice. Mostly because I liked her big tits. I also like Princes album of the same name.

This was my first card purchased in 2014.
Zafira is a very beautiful girl, but at that time I was not yet aware of the tags referring to my favorite shows (black skin, naked feet, small tits, no piercings/tattoos), otherwise I would have bought other types of cards, as I did later.
