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.
