so imagine that i got good at 3d modeling, how do i realistically make money? is porn the fastest and easy route? how do you build a fanbase or do you make videos for pornhub and cash on views?

i dont want to work in a studio or with other people, want to fly solo here

Cris, the only reason you're interested in 3D is because that's the only way women will let you interact with them.

Porn makers don't make their models, that's why everything looks B tier or below
>>
>>976561

If you do porn strictly for the money you will have a bad time. Covid already passed, most mediocre 3D porn artists grew from that and are now coasting.

Unless you make something unique, you will just be a drop in an over flooded pool.

Is it easy? You can make 5 bucks relatively quick with absolutely shit skills. But you wont make a liveable wage. Hell at most you can reach 100 a month with shit skills. Those with the biggest fanbases started early, and have raised the bar for quality for coomers.

Its like OF thots with amazing bodies charging $10. They completely shit on the fatties trying to charge similar or more. So the fatties gotta do special unique and niche like scat or piss.

Basically you will attract the dregs of coomers unless you pass a quality bar.

realistic sfw answer: be incredibly good at your craft and have a distinct style that appeals to lots of people. make money from patreon/youtube/etc posting tutorials or selling 3d print files or commissions or whatever. or get hired at a real job (lol). most of the more successful 3d artists I follow do fairly well on patreon/gumroad because they are able to create content that most people want access to (such as being able to download their .blend files). they built an audience on yt or twitter because they either have a unique appealing style or are extremely knowledgeable about their craft.

nsfw is a meme regardless of what the furry schizo will tell you about niches or whatever. it's too late and ai will replace it by the time you can git gud at it. besides that, it is statistically guaranteed that you will be distributing porn to children. either you can't handle that burden and avoid nsfw or only make it for yourself, or you can handle the burden and therefore should be culled from society. extremis malis extrema remedia and all that.

Take action, post content consistently, viewership will grow over time. Yes there is money but you have to get yourself out there and be aware of user habits and new trends.
The more your library of work grows the more opportunity you will have to create loyal fans. Remember that porn is so influential it determins technological developement. Porn will never die.
All you need to be a success is to TAKE ACTION. Utilize your strengths. If there is one thing in part you are great at, do that thing. Be known as the guy that does that thing. Once you have enough followers you can start setting trends yourself.

Surely this late in the game, if you're not already good enough and actively making porn then you're way too late.

being just another porn artist isn't going to cut it, there have been hundreds of SFM/porn artists who started way back in the day when everyone was using source filmmaker and only made it to $1,000 per month
the average on patreon today is somewhere in the ballpark of $200-$500 after years of work
now add to this the fact that accessible generative AI is rapidly devaluing visual work across the board and you have a recipe for not making it
the effort per dollar in CG isn't there anymore even as a career, it never really was except for the top 0.1%

The big challenge for anyone starting now is the suppression in the algorithm for newer accounts. This is both on Twitter and Reddit. Newer accounts get shadowbanned until they reach a certain unknown threshold.
>>
>>976994
The big challenge is to make something that a thousand people more talented than you haven't already done better than you ever could.
I wouldn't be surprised if the shadow banning happens automatically not even because of the porn content, but because whatever you produce is too similar (same model, same colors, same theme) to other tons of low quality content they already have and so it gets treated as spam. And they're right. It is spam.

this is the issue with attempting to get into nsfw today. doesn't even matter if it's objectively shitty as an artwork. anyone with a half decent gpu has access to an infinite well of shit tailored specifically for them. even if they don't, most sites are flooded with ai shit now. if you're just starting, you're not just competing with the established players, you're competing with your own customer base. Hell, I've even been able to replicate the 3d look sometimes. ai hasn't 'democratized' art and frankly it never will, but it certainly has 'democratized' porn. you are genuinely delusional if you think you have any sort of future making 3d porn. get a time machine and rewind back a decade, that is my unironic advice.

I make money using SFM exclusively and I started making smut two years ago with no background in visual arts.

The more men who are deterred by a fear of AI and "You're NGMI" posts, the more fertile the soil in which you can plant your seed. The issue is that you plant in the wrong places.

OnlyFans finances reveal that the hoes make bank not on nudes (visuals) but on their fake connection with men. Men today are lonelier and more sexually unfulfilled than any other generation of males, meaning that they are starved for art that speaks to the kinks in their souls. While you spill blood fighting over drops in the visual market there is an untapped fountain in the field of meaningful faps.

The male brain is being ignored in favor of visual stimulation and the eyes are getting exhausted. Men built empires to have sex and secure access to pussy, yet you think men today won't pay an inflated dollar for the right 3D porn?

Keep bottling your potential and dissuading other people while I crank out coombux with subpar tools.

Yes, I do. I stick to SFM because all my projects use SFM assets and I'm too lazy to transfer each one to Blender.

Transitioning doesn't matter anyway; the principles of art in one program are universal to all others. Posing, composition, lighting, contrast--an understanding of how to express your ideas through art transcends any specific tool.

>>977308
This is the real money: Selling people a sexual experience.

People want something that they can sink their teeth into. This is the age of popcorn visuals that sate no appetite. Cook a steak with sides and people will pay to eat it.

It's the same principle with TV shows, video games, books, or any other fictional universe: Humans are wired to build things. People would traditionally expend this energy on their family and homes but society upended those dreams. Now that listless energy people invest into autistic shit like fandom wikis, fanfics, game lore, fanart, discussion forums, etc.

Give em something big to invest themselves into and you'll see real success.

Simply disable the texture and see what a ugly warped mess it really is. The textures it makes are literally the only thing faking this to be like the scanned model.

LOL it does not.

>are faster irl than digital,
LOL. There is no faster with photogrametry you need to walk slowly around the object or the camera gets confused and fucked up by fast motion.

>>are faster irl than digital,
Post the mesh you get and what phone and what software you used.

Because these blobs it generates are so trivial that everyone can fart them out in less then it takes for you to walk to the object with your phone.

I used photogrametry software before and here is the thing.

The only good thing about it is that it generates non-geometric blobs that it then wraps a texture around it to fake for the humans the illusion of detail. And in 2024 the uses for this are limited.

Like pic related.
Remember when games used to fake detail by clever use of textures in 1996 -1999 ? Yea there is its use.

So the use would be to make assets for these games or to use them as background parts of some strange low budget internet movie or show like it is 2009.

However like others pointed out there can be legal issues with using things you scan this way.

If you want to do NSFW things is it worth trying for an "art style"? I can name a few that have a pretty consistent look since they make their own models, but most people just rip other people's models and work out just fine so maybe I'm just autistic. Do people even want animations that don't look like exactly like the source material?
>>
>>977945
Not him but you're fucking retarded. Movies have been using photogrammetry for over 30 years. Video games for over 10. Even the fucking IKEA-catalogue is photogrammetry CGI and nobody noticed, pretty much all of the best looking games released today have scanned assets.

Lads i started making animations for fun for myself about a year ago, but recently I decided to post a random anim on Twitter and it blew up. Got retweeted by some big names to the point I had to turn off notifications. Although I did animate it all myself, it came out way better than I expected and now I have a few thousand followers who probably expect that same quality. idk I feel like an imposter.
>>
>>980212
If you had fun creating that Animation then keep going and try not to think too hard about Peoples supposed expectations, you will just set yourself up for eternal disappointment.

I felt the same way after my first ever post which blew up. All kinds people were complimenting it and asking for me to do more. I felt good at first but I quickly fell into despair as I thought I could never reach the same quality again or even surpass it and in turn disappoint all those nice people.

Anon, you must never loose that feeling of Fun when making your Animations or else you will end up like me and never post a thing for the next 6-months or stop entirely because you will always have thoughts of doubt whenever you are working on something that should be fun to you.

I think what we are both experiencing is called: Imposter Syndrome so it might be best to read up on that, maybe that helps.

What's the legal side of things when making 3d porn or NSFW images when using models that are based off of vidya characters / characters from movies? Is it allowed or will you get int trouble?
>>
>>980220
technically you're violating copyright, but the rights holders have, so far, turned a blind eye to it.
worst case scenario for most people making money from it would be a cease and desist email, which is a nothingburger.

obvs a little bit different if you live in iran or if you decide to make /3cp/ but as long as you're not that type of degenerate there's no real issues.
>>
>>980226
People in the industry are giggling and considering a feather in the hat to have the most amount of NSFW content out there for their original characters.
Anyone ask you'll just pretend like you don't know it exist because obv you are not some perv who would know a lot about such things.

Where it get a bit weird is franchises like 'Last of Us' who have people rip characters that are minors and generate explicit imagery.
Those guys must be one wrong person getting wind of what's going on before some content creators start raising a fuss and putting a spot-light on it.

Also things like Cyberpunk 2077 and games that uses the likeness of real high profile actors in their games.
Or lesser known actors, like how the girl who gave her likeness to 'Quiet' in MGS5, she prob didn't understand how she signed up to become a digital pornstar.

It'll prob remain in the shadow of deep-fakes and things like that tho and therefore fly under the radar.

I'm no artist so I will give you advice as a client,and what I want to see more of 3d modeling artists.
Sell your skill to game indie developers.
Making a 3d character good looking is so hard.
Ask who want to make a porn game, dating games or any games that have emphasis in the character model.
It doesn't need to be a big game,it can have like 3 girls in it.
People are way more willing to buy a game than a animation or image.
Good luck OP

There was a situation where one porn maker for warcraft got approached IRL by blizzard's lawyer and handed the letter in person. It can be pretty spooky, but yeah. You basically move on to other IP / original characters and nothing really happens other than that you may need to change up your rigs & characters, some even just straight up added weird curly horns to their WoW OCs, changed their skintone, and bam, no longer a copyright violation if you call it 'Crock' instead of 'Orc'.

Absofuckinglutely not you dumbass doomer. AI will never give you the level of customization Blender can give you and will always give the most generic shit ever. You just tried out your luck with maybe making 10 or 20 images, saw nobody was liking your shit and went on youtube and saw some tranny faggot saying AI will take 3D jobs and used that as an excuse for your fuckup and decided to quit because some say that you are a tranny faggot yourself with 0 drive. Nyl is making 30k a month on patreon, Rigid3D almost 10k, Nagoo 30k, if AI is so good right now why don't all their supporters just go and make their own shit with it? Because:
-A: People are lazy and would rather pay you to do something rather than doing it themselves
-B: AI can't even figure out how to generate a proper hand
-C: AI cannot generate a seamless perfect porn animation like those guys
You and other doomers are simply faggots of unfathomable proportions. Keep spreading this fearporn though. It will instill doubt in the pajeets who absolutely destroyed web development from shitting up this niche as well and making it oversaturated with shit.
