Hi guys,

I'm MorganaVR - creator of Mirage - Next gen VR/PC 3D porn game. It features next-gen graphics (now) and next-gen physics (soon). I created this thread to post updates about my project.

NSFW Launch Trailer ( password is mirage31337 ):

Technical details:
Mirage uses Unity HDRP + DOTS (modified), custom shaders and advanced rendering techniques to achieve photo-realistic quality of realtime rendering of Daz Studio characters. At the moment Mirage supports Genesis 3 characters, soon it will support Genesis 8 too. Also Mirage has an Importer utility that can take any character, clothing, hair from daz3d.com and convert it to native Mirage VR/PC viewer (Importer is planned for Mirage 0.4). Mirage has been in active development for more than a year. To see my progress on soft-body physics please watch NSFW trailer above.

Quality of Mirage girls:

PROJECT GOAL
I envision Mirage as an interactive sex simulator with real-world physics, cutting-edge graphics (photo realistic characters and environments) and built-in tools for creating and sharing content.
---

ABOUT LATEST VERSION OF MIRAGE (0.3)
It is a complete project rewrite that uses latest Unity technologies (DOTS, HDRP pipeline, Post-processing stack), Genesis 3 characters, natural posing system, deep character customization, PC/VR support and more.
Full version of Mirage has:
  • > 100 interactive animations
  • 500 sliders to customize girls
  • Photo-realistic rendering in 4ms
  • Unity HDRP + DOTS
  • Post processing filters via ReShade
  • Share custom girls with community
  • Support of VR and PC
  • DQS skinning and JCM morphs
  • Clothing auto-fit
  • 63285 lines of source code
---

FEATURES I WANT TO IMPLEMENT NEXT:
- Realistic soft-body and soft-skin physics
- Real-time simulated hair, clothes, liquids
- In-game content-sharing
- Multi-tracks animation system
- Genesis 8 characters
- Online multiplayer
- Scripts support (write your own C# code)
- Possession mode (control virtual characters by stepping inside their bodies)
- Ray-tracing

You can speed up development of Mirage. Become a patron or spread a word about it. Then I will be able to work on Mirage full-time and hire more developers, AI experts and animators. With your help I will make Mirage one of the best VR / PC porn games.

I want Mirage to have this quality of characters and I work with all my heart towards this goal:


Follow me on for latest updates.
Thank you!

The videos are "unavailable" when I click on them.

Otherwise, best of luck with this endeavor... looks like you are putting a lot of effort and energy into it!

I like the ideas you have. I've supported virtamate for the last 3 years at the highest level, and while obviously, a lot of progress has been made in that time, it seems that a lot of the development has slowed.. I might be jumping ship soon.. You're now at the top of my list of people to support... I like when people go out there and do new things. I hope that you keep the momentum and push ahead, especially in places others have thus far failed. It's not an easy world to ascend in.. Between the fact that so many business don't want to support adult art, and people are so easily offended, and others just expect way too much too fast, keep your head level, and keep pushing forward.. Let the haters hate, just know, there are a lot of people like me that get behind innovation and creativity, and are really in it for the quality and detail.. If you can deliver on making dreams come true, you've got me all day long. Seriously. A lot of people have tried this genre, and I've seen some great projects just fall off over the years.. Don't let it happen to you. Technology is catching up with dreams every day.. The biggest advice I can give you since I've been in VR since day 1, and have pretty much followed most projects regarding VR freedom... Is stay current. Use things that are new, that no one else is implementing... A lot of the projects are stalled because they don't want to try to incorporate new features and such. Second, take the things that seem initially daunting, and hit those hard first. Things like fluid simulation.. Some people do a really terrible stop gap, others just avoid it altogether, saying they'll get to it eventually.. My suggestion is to hit things like that head on.. If you could be the one to get that tech sorted out and make it work really well, that'd match you up with projects that have been around for many years... I think ultimately, if all of you awesome programmers, designers, artists, and innovators end up working together, we could be seeing some things we've hardly imagined over the next couple of years... So please.. Keep it up.. Push hard.. I am excited to see where this goes... I'd love to help any way I can.. I'm a broke cripple so I ain't got much, but I've got heart... LOL.. Anyway, really diggin the progress so far.. Keep that shit up!

I'd love to help any way I can..
There are 2 ways to help. 1 - support me on Patreon. 2 - spread a word about Mirage. I don't have money for marketing and the only way for me to get attention is through word of mouth.

take the things that seem initially daunting, and hit those hard first
This is what I have been doing so far. Making Genesis 3 models look great in real-time was a very difficult task. Tons of crazy 3D math shit needed to be incorporated in Mirage to achieve this level of quality. Also I don't like how "physics" is implemented in all VR/PC adult games I've tried by just adding one additional "jiggle bone" for breasts and ass and making it a day. I will not do it for Mirage. I want Mirage girls to have as real physics as my CPU/GPU can handle using algorithms from research papers as a basis.

I hope your game can run in my potato PC...
If so, I follow you to death
lol :D what are your specs? Mirage 0.3 source code isn't optimized for low-end PCs, but in future versions of Mirage I'll add settings for choosing different levels of render quality.

Looks really great. From your words it looks like Virtamate, but better. But I would like to urge you not to repeat Virtamate errors. Its great that virtamate is highly customizable, but it lacks the basics: abiity to jump in and have a nice adult experience and customize only what you need and when you need it.

The only easy way to use Virtamate is to use EasyMate mod compilation. Using it you basically can "bring life" to a character (mimics, eye movement, movements, breathing, saccades, etc.) and choose pose/look/etc. in a few clicks. This should be a part of the "raw", unmodded game. If you implement this along with ability to use mods and customizations, you will beat Virtamate.

Best of luck. P. S. Do you provide test versions for those who support you?

Thank you for the kind words, intisaar.wow. I will take your advice and concentrate on UX. I plan to release Mirage 0.3 build soon and I do not provide test version of Mirage 0.3 yet as it requires some more polish before being presented to people. You can follow development on twitter and if you become a patron you'll have access to hidden Discord channel #wip where I post videos/screenshots occasionally :)

intisaar.wow you gave me an interesting idea. I'll think about providing access to work-in-progress game builds for higher level patrons who can't wait anymore :)
