Input on Environment

Greetings, Patrons!
Progress is finally being made on Evilyn's latest lapdance scene, and trust me, you're definitely going to enjoy this one! Now, it's time to set the stage, literally! I've got a few possible environments to use, and there may be multiple options available through a scene switcher.
It's worth mentioning that the environment has very little impact on the performance of the scene, but adding lights or physics objects definitely will hurt your framerate. I do my best to keep my scenes performing well, but of course it entirely depends on how powerful your PC is.
For reference, I capture my scenes at a solid 90fps with my PC running an i7-8700k @4.8GHz (all cores) and a stock-clocked Asus ROG 1080Ti. I use HIGH settings with soft body physics and glow turned off.
The choices are:
Da Black Club: https://www.reddit.com/r/VAMscenes/comments/bkjvs5/assets_da_black_club/
The Gentleman's Club: https://www.reddit.com/r/VAMscenes/comments/9sdkeq/the_gentlemans_club_enjoy/
Private Strip Club: https://www.reddit.com/r/VAMscenes/comments/bf1fv5/assets_strip_club_prive/
or the club included with VaM 1.7, which can also have an audience like in the first lap dance. There will be some lighting added for atmosphere, of course!
There's one other possible option, but I won't be purchasing any assets until I'm sure it's worth the investment.. this Gentlemen's Club: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/gentlemens-club-139999
Comments
The lapdance would be taking place onstage, but to an empty hall other than "you" and Evilyn. I like the free Gentleman's Club too, but I'll still be using the environment with the highest votes :)

2019-06-18 08:01:07 +0000 UTCThanks for the walkthrough! The club looks pretty sweet. Cool that it also includes a backstage area. The tables and chairs look kind of cramped for space for a lapdance, but I'm sure you'd fix that. Even so, I'm going to stick with the Private Strip Club vote. (And that Tirgames Gentlemens Club asset is great, but pretty expensive. You get what you pay for).

2019-06-17 20:14:32 +0000 UTCI voted Private Strip Club/Strip Club Prive'. I do like the VaM 1.7 club (with audience), but we already have a scene with that, so it would be nice to have variety. Not a fan of Da Black Club. The Gentleman's Club looks interesting, but I couldn't tell if it is a lingerie store with a stripper stage and pole or what (I'm not too sure how to view environments or .scenes in VAM, possibly because I only have an entertainer key). Of course, the paid Gentleman's Club is awesome!

2019-06-17 20:13:32 +0000 UTCMy first VR rig had the same gpu and weaker CPU. I'll forgo the sim clothing this time, and I'll put consideration towards releasing an optimized low-spec version.

2019-06-17 19:59:02 +0000 UTCThe one with the least impact for me (I've seen that the VaM club with audience has less FPS than the second one). The biggest impact on my machine comes from the hair, so a lower detail hair is always appreciated (I have an alternative hair preset, but the original is always better). For reference my machine is a I7 7700 @ 4.2 and a NVidia 970, and I have to do some tweaking to achieve 45 FPS in the Fantasy lapdance.

2019-06-17 19:56:23 +0000 UTCI've noted the comment about keeping the FPS optimal. I do my best to keep the framerate as high as possible, because capturing has to be done at 45fps, so I always keep it stable around 90fps.
