I’m having issues getting the external alpha mask into Heresphere, even though it correctly identifies an existing XALPHA file. I just get full passthrough all the time, like the mask isn’t even there. Can you share some of your settings?
11 hours for full scenes? I don’t have a great GPU, but that isn’t bad. I’m tempted to rent a cloud GPU… Chances are those will be running on linux, which means those scripts would need reworking…
Or maybe not, linux drivers are wonky, so maybe those data centers are running windows since it’s GPU processing rather than CPU.
did you give it the same file name as teh video file with _XAPLHA.MP4 at the end? did youclick external mask on heresphere?
Sure did! After reading the Heresphere discord it seems I am not alone in this. Some ppl have had success with removing audio from the XALPHA file, but that did not fix my problem
You can post gofile links here
you can try compositing the video with ffmpeg and use the mask to cutout the positive image from the original video. ask any of the ai’s for help with an ffmpeg command
something like this:
ffmpeg -i input_8k_sbs.mp4 -i mask.mp4 -filter_complex “[0:v]split[orig][bg]; [bg]drawbox=color=0x00FF00:t=fill[green]; [1:v]format=gray[mask]; [green][orig][mask]maskedmerge” -c:v libx265 -crf 22 -preset medium output_greenscreen.mp4

possible to make this work on linux?

depends how have you created your XALPHA file, it has to be specific format, but personally I have given up on this approach, as Heresphere is not able to keep it in sync, probably because it is processing two video streams, and I am using the original approach, i.e. converting it and packing mask together in one file

do I need to download & install python on my PC to use this?
you’ll also need a good nvidia video card.
3070, 3080, 3090, 4070, 4080, 4090 or one of the newer 5070, 5080, 5090
personally I’m using the deo-vr app for local playback on my quest3, seems to work okay. might even try the playa app. I couldn’t get heresphere to work that well IIRC.
I too found that the parallel eyes setting didn’t help that much overall.
i have a 4080 super
how did you get working external alpha file in deovr? it seems not supported
why do you have a separate alpha file? youre supposed to re-add it to the video after
also I was wrong, I was using the playa app and choosing “embedded alpha file” note that it also supports external alpha files as well.
works just fine on the videos I’ve made!

We have added an option to generate PT AI and get rendered download file with an option to mask out male body and a dick.
Let me know how you like it
Anyone with a RTX 4070 or better, and complementary PC parts, has AR passthrough in the palm of our hands for FREE. None of your credits for storage BS.
Tweaked the pipeline. I can process 8K | 1 hour 30 mins studio level videos in 1 day rivaling SLR.
Your monopoly on Passthrough only holds with low PC specs people now. Good luck.
