Blender is a nice software but I feel it makes everything too plastic and bloomy but Overwatch itself is plastic and bloomy so I guess it works. Personally I fell out of the game about a year ago I'd say it's honestly kind of boring and the fandom can only be stomached for so long.
agree.
its seriously boring now. and they suck the shit out of it for wayy too long now.
i know multiple website and i patron multiples guys who make sfm. and honestly, i m seriously piss when i look around and all i see is :
1% nier automata 2B
1% bioshock elizabeth
97% overwatch
1% others (WoW, fortnite and else...)
seriously time to move on, even if some guys are "pro" at overwatch stuff, such as Arhoangel

I mean Ashe sort of changed it up but there's only so many times you can do the same thing with the same like 4 female characters people care about before we get bored but I suppose it makes the money. Only a few people did things with Moira but other than some decent animations she doesn't have the porn bait status as the other girls in the game and Zayra is just futa porn bait. I am in no way complaining about Arho or any other artist but the spark is kind of lost and that's kind of sad at least to me as I've seen what people can do with these characters now I'd even take a resurgence of Elizabeth porn with blender as very few have actually done that with 95 percent being SFM good SFM content but just Source Filmmaker. Fortnite is hit or miss as very few of the skins I liked seeing porn of I can barely name as none of them have personalities attached to them like Overwatch which is where the porn appeal came from as we at least know who these characters are.
TL;DR OW porn is sort of getting as boring as the game is.....
my main opinion is always :

It's really good to see an ArhoAngel thread here. I remember when he deleted his Tumblr and disappeared because people were posting his content online. He started to only post on Patreon and that's it.
I know he has the right to decide how his content is shared but for fuck's sake, he doesn't own Overwatch. What a god complex little prick.
Of course he's not forced to post on Tumblr, Reddit or whatever, but he's the only Overwatch 3D creator that did this. It's funny because later when he tried to create his own models they turned out horribly. Bad anatomy, clothes looking like stickers, the birth of the "burger ass".
Til this day ArhoAngel still has this "aura" of being the special kid of the neighborhood, even though he started posting on Twitter. I'm just glad we can finally see all the content he didn't want the world to see when the fame went to his head.

Thing is this isn't new as I frequent places like SFMlab and what not and people want compensation for anything regardless of the lack of fucking nothing that went into the thing they did. People who do model ripping and content with those models and also want money for doing so walk a really fine line more so with the model rippers (Nobody has to give a person money because they yanked a model they don't own from a game they didn't make) as they feel because people see them as popular they are owed everything around him. In terms of quality Arho is up there with the OW porn creators only because Bender once you get it to work is a cheat sheet for good quality for 3D porn (It can dolly up models you export into it making them look better than the likes of SFM which is easier to use and modify though navigating Blender's UI is a nightmare). In my opinion the sheer insanity that is using Blender is what makes people like Arho gain this idea of being better than most people but then again he only does OW porn which in its current direction is dominated by the same 4 characters (Two if we're talking about the arguably more popular Dv.a and Mercy).

That's exactly why he got so popular. Blender.
Overwatch porn started in 2016 and was mostly a bunch of low quality SFM bestiality edgy shit because people wanted to taunt Blizzard. Because of this mass production of low quality garbage, Blender stuff was like the discovery of fire. Quick fame, quick money. ArhoAngel starts making $2000+ on Patreon because of two animations he did in maybe a week or two, then he suddenly disappears because people were stealing his stolen content. SakimiChan must be his girlfriend for how similar the two are, I'm not even kidding. Post decent Overwatch porn > get famous quickly > do the same shit for years > "dOn'T pOsT mY cOnTeNt" > profit. At least SakimiChan can say she actually drew the stuff even though every drawing has literally the same face copy pasted, but these people still need to stop this stupid god complex.

I mean Sakimichan isn't much better as we see legions of what I called the "Good Deviant Artists style" that looks great but is just the generic good art style that by default will give you A+ from art teachers no matter what you draw even if it's the same looking girl over and over that are from different franchises. Blender is that to SFM as SFM is easier to use and used by literally anyone who has a few minutes (Took me about maybe 20 to 30 minutes to know basic posing and less time than that as I knew how to use XNALara which have roughly the same way of character importing and UI posing) but Blender has a chaotic UI that isn't user friendly I feel even with tutorials you might need someone to walk you through just what everything means as certain things can do similar things in the program and it's kind of a visual mess but is worth it in the end as it's objectively better looking than SFM. Thing is about Arho he got famous too fast and instead of riding it out he wanted to profit on it which to me is maybe where Blizzard got the idea to try and take down porn of the game as it takes one person to fuck the system for everybody.
Sakimi and Arho spawned imitators and you see in terms of Arho a lot of very similar people doing the same thing which is where I play the game of "spot the artist" before even clicking on the image which one of the fuckers made it because so many of them use the same thing over and over. Blender and SFM can sort of get away with this as people are using the same models it's just what they do with them but Sakimi is different as I see way too many artists do this painted, semi realistic style that they all blend together.

I tried Blender once. Messing around with nodes is a nightmare.
Anyways, I still can't get over Arho's burger asses. I was one of his Patreons when he started doing that shit and some people immediately called him out but he kept doing it no matter what. He either doesn't read feedback or was just too proud/lazy. I've seen some of his recent "work" and it seems like the burger ass is gone, but I still really don't like his models. The skin just seems blurry, plastic. I also hate the clothes he makes but maybe I'm just nitpicking. They either look like stickers or are just some skimpy outfit he found online, totally unrelated to the character. This wouldn't be a problem if he already didn't reduce the girls to literally the same model with just some adjusts here and there. They're all the same but with different heads. I really like Ellowas' models because almost every girl has a different body type, but Arho just uses the same fucking model for every girl.

I blame Blender for the whole plastic look. Even for 3D models of video game characters Blender makes everything look artificial and bloomy though I can't tell with Fortnite porn as the game's art style is just the generic wannabe 3D cartoon art style with no zest or anything to make it stand out but Overwatch you really see the overexertion of colors and Blender sort of goes too over the edge with the stylization with Overwatch's visual clarity of models. I go have to agree as it seems no matter who it is mostly all these Blender OW characters look the same even if you can tell their height and body type no matter what position generic male model is plowing them from which is why I like SFM because despite being objectively visually worse it's more versatile with character models. It's strange as when you look at how easy it is to nail characters like Shantae or Helen Parr in Blender how could you just copy and paste a body type for every girl unless it's widow which all Arho has to do is change the clothing and change the skin color.

There's this lovely thread on

with leeteRR basically tearing ArhoAngel apart. That's why leeteRR is one of my favorite SFM artists. As he said, SFM is limiting but you can do some impressive shit if you put in enough effort. The pose that leeteRR is referring to is

, where Mei has tragically dislocated her entire lower body.The only Blender artist I know that deserves a lot of credit is FPSBlyck (even though he pulled the same "dOnT pOsT mY cOnTeNt" shit, because at least he kept posting himself). His stuff is really good, his models/textures are on point, and he doesn't just keep milking Overwatch like a dead cow.
I know it's funny how I talk shit about ArhoAngel but am still visiting this thread, but let me put it this way: I don't like most of his stuff but there's some decent material that he sometimes puts out, and I'm just happy that I don't have to pay for it anymore.

Dang Leet is right it does take the job away from you. You see the evolution of people on SFM and their own styles and how they use the system like Blackjr, LordArdvark, etc. Whatever you put into Blender looks great but will look that same greatness no matter who the person is behind the content it all looks the exact same which was one of my points when talking to people about the issues with Blender it creates this generic idea of goodness with little outcome that isn't worth it for the hassle you go through just to use the thing.
Yeah I saw that thing from Arho with Mei and physically scrunched my face. No matter the idea and excuse of her "being flexible" which is the arguement I've seen most females cannot naturally do that and it looks visually and physically uncomfortable.
I've heard of him but I don't recall seeing a lot of his content and I guess I see why but to be honest this reminds me of Youtubers who do the same exact thing. You see these game centric "news" and content users screwing up everything for everyone in hopes of trying to be relevant for a game that even now their latest hero Baptise (I hope I typed that right) released to even less fanfare than Moira and Brigitte in terms of porn is just another "fit" girl to fill the hole that apparently exists (Pharah and Zarya aren't enough). The game isn't "dead" but not on top as people like to think the only reason it is in public eye is the same as LoL they throw so much money into dollying up their esports making it the craziest, loudest and flashiess that of course people will at least glance at it.
I guess I'll give my opinion on him personally as a lot of people don't look at porn artist the same way as Youtubers unless they're controversial edgelords like your Shadmans. I think some don't interact with these people like they think they shouldn't as they just make shit they can wank to and that's it but the more I try to figure out the people I get content from for my spank bank the more confused I get. I really can't see gaining an ego from making fake good content almost exclusively from a game that tries so hard to be relevant through "wokeness" and shoving its overexpensive esports into people's faces. I also can't see the idea of going "MUH CONTENT" when unless you make these models from scratch (some 3D artist actually do make their own models of existing characters) you aren't owed people not posting your content just the same as other people.

I bring the truth, and the truth is that Overwatch only got so popular because of porn.
WAIT, HEAR ME OUT, I CAN EXPLAIN.
The year is 2016. TF2 is basically dead because Valve doesn't care. Very few major games being released. All shooters are just a bunch of ugly men running around killing each other.
Blizzard was basically a deity in the games industry, known as "everything they touch turns to gold". Suddenly they released a hero shooter with cute girls and polished mechanics. That was the start of the Overwatch vs Paladins playground fight, and I've never heard the word "polished" so much in my life.
Anyway, Tracer was the poster girl for the game along with Widowmaker. Now here's where my theory takes form. A diverse cast attracts that community and that community loves shipping. Two hot girls are perfect for shipping, especially if they hate each other (because there's nothing more romantic that hatred). The amount of buzz these people made with Tracer and Widowmaker attracted a lot of attention and people started to realize how tight Tracer's outfit is and how fucking massive was Widowmaker's butt. Today's main girls are Mercy and Dva but in 2016 I think we can all agree on who the two main girls were. But there was a problem though. Blizzard didn't want Overwatch porn. They started taking down Pornhub videos, and that makes for a delicious headline/video title. The clickbait started and videos with millions of views popped up on everyone's recommended, creating a bigger media coverage than actual Overwatch marketing.
I'm not saying that Overwatch is full of horny people fapping to 3D porn, but the porn opened our eyes for how unique and cute the characters were. The game was also full of color and personality, attracting not only the hardcore shooter fan but also the casuals. It would still be a successful game without the porn, it's a Blizzard game after all, but not this massive phenomenon.
It could be argued that Overwatch is good because it's from Blizzard but come on. Blizzard is just like Bethesda. They made some good games at the right time but mismanagement always crippled those games. Look at WoW for example. They had to make the game basically free to play. Starcraft? Korea Korea Korea Korea. Diablo? Just look at the latest announcement. Heroes of the Storm? Blizzard is literally taking devs away from the game to cut costs and they even cancelled the next eSports event, making dozens of people unemployed right before Christmas. Blizzard was never this fucking deity we made them out to be, their games were never balanced, they were always slow to put out new content, they always ignored feedback. All the porn made we ignore how Blizzard was pushing eSports down our throats while bad decisions crippled the game and they refused to show us the active players count. There was even a famous post on Reddit talking about how Overwatch porn was the only thing that kept them hooked on the game.
