It's honestly getting pretty pathetic hearing so many people bitch and complain about darklust despite trying so desperately hard to get even a sneak peak at his project say what u want about darklust hell i even agree that he is starting to develop an over inflated ego but even still without him the world of 3D monster animations would be as dull as watching snot drip down a wall nothing even comes close to his work aside from only 1 other video breaking the quiet but even that had a whole team of people working on it and the cost of making it didn't even end up paying for voice actresses which is why the 3D anime world is fucked u barley make enough in donations to pay off for the hard work u put in yet with darklust he doesn't have a team to help him everything he created was by himself from scratch yet he still managed to make 4 videos each an hour long with the most incredible quality textures i have ever seen in this failing genre and all of it is free yet people still bitch and complain i swear its people like that are killing the 3D world soon all 3D porn will cost money and they wont even be nearly as good as the stuff darklust puts out and when that day comes u will feel like total shit heads for taking these incredible free content creators for granted
Alright, this punk has managed to annoy me. I'm probably going to get kicked off of DL's server for this, because anyone who has been there in the past 2 years will recognize this little episode, but I've stopped giving a fuck and I'm done being a people pleaser.
Rant Time

First of all, let me put my cards on the table here. Yes I am, or was, eager to get my hands DL's work in whatever way I can. The difference with me, however, is that I have no money to spare and must settle for whatever crumbs I can find left by those who are more generous than others. On top of that I am not married to this series in the fucking least. If DL came out and announced, in the next hour, that he was quitting SFM porn forever, the most you would get from me is a shrug and an 'oh well', and then I'd move on. To be completely honest I was starting to get bored of this shit by the Evil ending anyway. We clear? Good.
Now then, there are 3 fundamental reasons NSFW 3D artists have to scrape to get by and, while piracy contributes, it is not one of those problems. First; 3D animated porn is a very niche genre in the porn industry due to the fact that 3D animation, in general, is the single newest medium of entertainment to date, being only 30 years old if that. This means that the audience for it is far smaller than most others thus there are fewer wallets willing to be emptied in support of this content. Second; most of the current 3D porn artists, big and small, started their foray into this genre as a hobby. Something to pass the time that they enjoy doing. Very few ever jump into this kind of thing with the intent of making money and those that do rarely get very far. Third and worst of all; tech companies hate porn. Sex in and of itself is viewed by cultures across the globe as a taboo subject and porn even more so. Patreon could not be a more perfect example of this fact. How many 3D porn artists have been utterly fucked over just because Patreon doesn't like the content they are making? Last I checked, DL himself got screwed over by Patreon as well. Yes, piracy contributes to these issues but guess what, the internet exists and in order to get the good stuff you have to deal with the bad stuff. That's called life.
And 'highest quality textures'? Bullshit. Everything DL makes is done in source film maker. the keyword being 'source'. Those monsters are, in order of appearance, the Titans from 'Batman: Arkham Asylum', Capra Demons from 'Dark Souls', and the Taurus Demon, again, from 'Dark Souls'. The model for Lara has been bouncing around the internet for nigh on seven years now and there have been numerous new models in the time span that are far better. Almost every single one of the items in this series was pulled from Garry's Mod and the the more NSFW objects have been available on the internet for free download long before DL showed up. Every single asset DL used in his videos was literally sourced from the works of others. The only reason any of his videos look good is because he rides on the achievements of more capable people.
Also no, the genre is not dying. Any inbred with half a brain cell can see that. And there is never going to be a situation where all 3D porn must be payed for. Why? Because the internet exists and as long as it does, there will always be ways to get things for free. This will either exist in the form of sites such as this one, or people who simply want to create smut on their computers for the fun of it. So get off your fucking high horse and stop acting like a self righteous dick.

Okay. I'm done. Sorry if this causes any unjust discourse on this forum, everyone, I just really needed to get that heaping pile of shit off my chest.
