That's pretty cool. I remember checking it out a couple of years ago, and people complained it wasn't well optimized for, well, lots of skin (i.e. upscaling porn videos), and the developers just said they listen to all suggestions. I guess they did!

I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. I normally either just do a 2x upscale at native framerate, or do a 1.5x upscale at 150% framerate. I use the Proteus model and put it in MANUAL mode. I will scrub the timeline until I find a good clear frame with no motion blur in the preview window. I then click ESTIMATE to see what the program suggests. I prefer to leave it in manual to have the entire clip have a constant setting. This screenshot is just an example, these are the values it recommended for me. I normally dial its suggestion DOWN more often than crank it up. I render a few previews as I tweak it.
I get more definition and sharpen with Artemis. When I have some time I'll post the configuration I'm using, although I'm still testing. I'll try to do a basic tutorial as well, but if you want to do it @NaughtyProfessor , you are welcome.
The rescaling from 4K to 8K has impressed me, it almost looks better than a native 8K from Fanza. With native 8K movies I also get a bit of an improvement. I'm so happy with the results, that despite it costs 300 euros / dollars, I have bought it.
With my RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card, a 20 minute video takes about 12 -15 hours to process with Artemis, running at 100%... It requires a lot of hardware.. But even so for me it's worth it.
have an example of a scene that you always change these settings on?I use three methods. From the most to the least recommended:
+ In Basic Video Settings, I activate the Alignement menu, and move the Right (Scale) bar to the left, as far as the eyes can take. Some movies I have to set to 2.7 or 3:

In Basic Video Settings, Origin menu, and Forward bar to the left. It's the zoom. Zoom everything out a bit to make it look smaller, but you see the girls farther away, of course....

This should not be touched, use only in extreme cases where you see very large girls. In Advanced video settings, top left, set IPD to Manual, and set IPD higher than yours. With this the size of what you see is reduced.

Yes, the main flaw of this player is that it uses weird (or technical) names for simple things like zoom or scale...
is there a way to save the configuration per scene? would hate having to readjust every time..
There is no fixed guideline, it usually depends on the director. VR movies are shot with an IPD (pupillary distance) that is usually in the average, around 64-65 mm. I have a high IPD of 68.5 mm, so in almost every movie I see the girls bigger than normal. If you have 62 mm for example, you see them smaller than their actual size. I have to use the first setting I posted, in almost every VR. But it fix 99% of them for me.
Then there are directors who don't adjust to the average, and I see people even bigger. For example VRKM usually has bigger girls than other studios, but acceptable with adjustments. The 8K versions of KIWVR I can't watch them, for example KIWVR-745, I see the actress huge, almost as if I were a hobbit. If you download it, compare it with one of Kawaii or JUVR, and you can see the difference, no matter what IPD you have.
Since a few months ago, Moodyz and S1 are releasing movies with the actresses with big heads, it's very strange, as if they were using zoom, there is an inept technician who does not know how to adjust the camera. For example MDVR-334, compare it with any other of Ibuki as MDVR-296, and it seems that Ibuki has grown 30 centimeters... Also the trailer of SIVR-405, I see the model huge.
These movies even using the three parameters I posted, I still see giant girls, it breaks my immersion. I can't watch them.
Fortunately in Heresphere you only have to adjust it once, the settings are saved automatically per scene. Only if you move the file to another location, you have to adjust it again.

I can kinda understand those fans of full nudity but I'm further on the other side. I think the clothes make the fantasy more real. If it's a school girl scenario, then the uniform keeps the illusion alive. It also adds a sense of urgency, like if it were actually happening in a classroom, she might not have time to fully strip down (although the guy usually has time to take it all off). And if she goes fully nude, then it's just any other video not necessarily within the fantasy so can have some repetitive sameness. If she takes off her clothes completely, then leaving on a token bit like the neck tie is ok.
This applies for most cute or alluring costumes like school uniform, office lady, lingerie, maid, evening gown, etc. but if it's a factory uniform then, I'm all for stripping that off asap.
And for some girls (definitely not including Rena Miyashita or Mio Ishikawa), the clothes help hide a flabby belly or other flaws that can be distracting esp in VR that exposes all the details.

I understand that there are people who like clothed sex, in fact it is the majority, because 80% of Japanese porn is clothed. What bothers me is that there is no rotation, and that makes it worse because they only do one VR every 6 months with star actresses.
For example other actresses of S1 or Moodyz have done VRs without clothes, then they have done with clothes and I have not said anything, because I think it's OK, so they please everyone.
However this VR of Rena is all with clothes, and if you look at the previous one, also with clothes, oils.... The same thing has happened with Mio, Nana Miho, or Miru.... The last 3 VRs of those actresses are all with clothes or oils, another guys on screen, and since they only shoot one VR every 6 months, it's been a year and a half since those actresses have been naked. This is pornography, but they haven't shot a nude VR for two years... I don't get it.. In my personal case as I don't watch 2D porn anymore... so 2 years without watching a movie of 4 or my favorite actresses.
The underlying problem is that they don't alternate, and that they only shoot VRs every six months. If you don't like one, the wait is eternal. And with the uncertainty that maybe in a month, they have retired, because this work is very short-lived.
Anyway, as I have always said I complain a lot about this topic, but the thread was not created for me or my tastes, but for everyone to give their opinion or recommend their favorite VRs. So if you, @periph , like movies with clothes, then don't be shy and recommend the ones you like too. I will criticize them, but that's what a forum is for.... And I'm sure many others will be interested, because I know that my tastes are minority, unfortunately.
In the end almost only 2dxxxisdead, Chewbaka, me and few others recommend movies. The more people recommend, the more variety there will be....

Ah, its just the cheerleader top mostly pulled up so this works just fine for me.
Was this filmed like her previous VR though, or did they at least not fuck up the camera work this time?
