It's false positive on jdozer end. It's dosnt show any virus for me either neither the folder nor the pic's.

[jdozer]

Odd. The .7z file itself is coming up clean in Malwarebytes, and none of the images show any viruses either.

Since I'm the pack creator, it'd be nice if anyone else verify any antivirus reports? I'm assuming it's just a false positive. All the images were converted to .webp by me using XnConvert, so even if one of the original images had a virus somehow, I can't see how it'd transfer over.... but I'm not a security expert so I have no idea how all that works lol.

The .7z was consistently getting flagged when I DL'd it, but I let it through and scanned both the 7zip and extracted archive with a different program, and it passed both those checks. Not sure what was tripping it up initially, but it seems to be fine now, thanks for checking.

So what are people's opinion on sound in girl pack videos? Moaning, music, etc...

Do people prefer sound, or no?

I'm creating a pack that will have videos in it and I'm unsure whether to leave the sound in the videos, or take sound out to reduce filesize.

Also a question for experienced pack creators: I have some fairly long videos (1 minute to 2 minutes, sometimes longer) and would like to maybe cut them up into 5-20 second looping segments. Does anyone have any advice on how to go about doing this? What program to use, tips and tricks to make the loop as seamless as possible, etc?

Personal preference: I always prefer them to be muted. Tons of reasons for that, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was in the minority there. My advice on that would be to think about what you personally would prefer with the pack, and stick with that.

As for cutting videos, I use a program called VSDC (because it is free), and it pretty much lets you do all the simple things you'd need to do. You'd want to look up splitting by markers, as a starting point (for longer vids that you want to split into smaller separate clips), as well as just how to trim a video down. VSDC has enough tutorials that a quick google search should cover you.

Not an expert on video editing, but a lot of clips are already looping, you would just need to find a good cut off point. For everything else, you could cut out the section you want, copy-paste it, and reverse the pasted portion, so the clip plays forwards, then backwards. For a lot of stuff it shouldn't look too weird, but I'd say just not to stress too hard about it being totally seamless. If you keep the clips down to short enough length (sub ~10seconds), it is usually a non-issue in my experience (at least in the context of BK).

I prefer with sound. The only thing that's annoying about it is that for some sex acts the game adds extra (looping) moans on top of it. Not much you can do about that.

One difficulty with cutting videos up is that you'll need a good source file. If your original file is already heavily compressed, cutting it up into a perfect loop won't be easy. Most compression methods work by removing lots of keyframes from the video and that's something you're going to notice when modifying the video.

For my own packs, I just leave the 1-2 minute video's out of it. In most cases if it's possible/easy to create a perfect loop out of them, somebody has done it already.

Have you downloaded .7z before? Maybe it doesn't like or doesn't understand the format. I know the answer is probably "of course I have!", but sometimes the problem is just what everyone assumed it could not be.

So... does anyone have experience with this AI art? NovelAI, etc... because I'm thinking it may be a pretty good way to fill out girl packs. The few packs I've made I've found sometimes I can't find maid images, or kimono images for a particular girl, etc... This AI art stuff may be a good way to fix that...

Here are some examples of what it can do nowadays... these are some AI generated images I picked up off of an imageboard

We've talked about it a bit on F95zone. Girl pack creator earliestbird555 even started making a game based around AI-art.

Lots of potential, but also still some issues to resolve. Uncanny valley things like misshaped hands and extra arms/legs/joints are still very common when trying to generate these images.

In my experience, expecting your result to be within certain constraints can be a frustrating and time consuming experience:

A random girl without deformities wearing a kimono -> Takes only a few attempts
A girl without deformities that looks slightly like an existing character -> Takes dozens/hundreds of attempts (depends on how obscure the character is)
A girl without deformities that looks exactly like an existing character and is wearing a kimono -> Takes thousands of attempts

If you have enough photo-editing skills to manually fix some details then it's definitely useable already.

Progress update: All of the above has become a lot easier due to training on r34/anime/danbooru datasets. Berry's Mix, is giving me some nice results.

+ These NSFW-trained models are starting to understand what genitals look like (in Stable Diffusion 1.4, if you ever got a clear view of them they often looked like disturbing tumors)
+ They also handle common anime tropes (maid uniforms, onsens) way better than previous models
+ Works well for profile/job pictures

- Hands are still problematic
- Sex acts or other pics involving multiple characters are better than before, but still aren't very useful, often generating extra limbs and deformities
- Generating niche fixations/situations (such as enemas or farm pictures) is also still very unreliable

I'm not sure I'm on-board with the idea of training Skynet on hentai datasets.

When AI takes over the world and we are all confined to Matrix VR coffins you won't like what kind of devices they put in there. 

[worldsoul]

for some reason the link for the one Louise Valliere pack on the master list isn't working. Does anyone have a backup of that particular girl pack?

EDIT: it appears that the Temari pack is missing as well

Well, compared to the bleak future depicted in the Terminator movies, maybe those VR coffins don't sound too bad? We might even end up in some hentai Matrix (or "I got trapped in this MMORPG" variant) after a few iterations.

Also, maybe Skynet will be too busy browsing the web for hentai artwork, to go after world domination in the first place.

I just came back and nice to see people here are on board with AI art and packs for the Game.

I mean, besides AI-only packs, any (decent) AI art is just more pics for us to use on packs.

Wish it worked well with some niche characters so i can make better packs out of those...

Oh well, maybe i can get some result on Waifu Difussion eventually lol.

I'd like to bump this because it turns out all the characters in the spreadsheet with "part of a zip of all author packs" comment go to a dead link, and I'm curious if anyone saved the packs before they vanished.
