I know, I know the change over took longer than expected, and I’ll probably cop another earful about it. You wouldn’t want me as your train driver, would you 😉 But hey, after all the technical and mostly scheduling issues, the ‘big change’ is finally revealed, is it not!?
And so my initial questions are: Is it anything like what you expected!? Was it as left field as you thought? Do you like the new site design?
I’m going to ask you for your feedback obviously, but let’s go over the all the changes first and of course it’s time to reveal the winners of ‘Ayako – Sex Addiction‘…. but hold your horses, we’ll get to that!
So what is the new change, the new concept?
Some of you guessed a new web site, collaborations with other artists, profiles, a community web site and so on, all pretty close. In fact as a whole I was pretty damn surprised at all the cool things you guys came up with, a lot of it, I’d thought of and a lot of things got me thinking. But back on point… what is exactly the new conecpt?:
Affect3D will become a hub for x-rated 3D art and porn!
I’m saying specifically 3D hentai, art and porn. Like a mini IGN for 3D porn, smaller scale more intimate of course, more about the community! This may sound like a big undertaking a big transformation or even be politically incorrect, but here’s the deal: Of course I love what I do and creating 3d porn will always be my main priority, but I enjoy the Umemaros, Double Cream Softs or Pureprisms as much as the next guy. As an artist it’s difficult to get my news out there and as a punter I personally found there’s no official port for scene updates and news specifically related to 3D hentai and porn.
There’s dlsite itself, but it’s obviously a store not really a place to get in depth news, review, interviews that kind of thing. And yes, there are a lot of underground communities, and I love them, that’s where I started and learned about this stuff and they’ll always be great to hang out at, but since these communities are dealing in “certain activies” they won’t ever officially be able to interface and interact with the artists the people that make this whole 3D thing a reality for us to enjoy and at the end of the day if we want this thing to grow we need something a little more official I feel. This is where Affect3D comes in =)
And seriously I strongly believe that as 3D hentai progresses and becomes more realistic it will reach main stream status eventually. There are a lot of things that differentiate 3D porn from regular porn, which makes it massively special, but I will save myself that for another article, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about it and so I really want to discuss that in a separate piece.
Let’s get down to the nitty gritty:
What’s gone, what’s stays, what’s new!!
Something has to give, and with every change we have to make sacrifices:
- Old Gallery – I hope you’ve saved all the images you wanted, some of them are so awfully ugly now I couldn’t wait to get rid of them, bye bye old gallery!
- Old Blog Posts – well I guess it’s old news, Sex Addiction is about to be released, a new Affect 3D site, let’s focus on what the future brings!
What stays:
- Artist’s blog – basically my progress updates towards my next project and little side projects
And here’s the cool new stuff:
- News – I guess that includes my blog updates, but also other scene news and updates about 3D art and porn, artists, new products and so on
- Reviews – I am really looking forward to this one, here is where I get to delve into all the new games, movies, galleries take them apart and give you my super biased, I, I mean un-biased review… and hopefully we get to feature your reviews as well, yes your reviews!
- Interviews – this is where it gets real cool, want to get into the artist’s head, get behind the scenes info on released and up and coming products? We’ll get to quiz al the greats of scene about what makes them tick.
- New Media – of course new galleries, videos – all the juicy stuff!
Your input
I’m perfectly happy to continue along and put out progress images, hopefully movies soon, etc and I personally I can’t wait to do some articles, reviews and interviews, but my intention in calling this site a hub is to open it up, to let more people join in on developing the site. I want it to be a platform for myself, other artists and contributors and hopefully eventually it’ll become a “from the community for the community” kind of thing 🙂 So here’s the plan as I introduce every new feature like articles, reviews, galleries, etc I’ll also explain how you guys can submit articles, reviews, etc as well. Voluntary at first but paid once the site turns coin.
Is it going to work? I don’t know, I’ll put it out there and see if we get a response. If all fails I’ll revert back to the old artist blog format. But I’ve been tinkering about this idea for a long time and I just had to do something about =) Worth a try at the very lease.
Releasing the new features
As you can see the top menu is looking pretty scarce, it has just ‘News’ at the moment. The next feature will be Reviews, then Galleries, hopefully interviews and so on. I’ll slowly introduce them one at a time over the next days and weeks, so keep checking back to see how things develop!
You can either just hang out and enjoy the site or if you want to delve a little deeper feel free to contribute 🙂
So there it is. I hope you like the concept. Of course leave me a comment and let me what you like, don’t like, anything 🙂 The slogan needs work for example.
… what? the winners?… Oh, yeah of course, how could I forget =)
As I said you guys did such a great job at guessing, but I couldn’t for the life of me find a 100% on point winner. However considering the amount of effort you guys put into it, I did manage to apply a little elbow grease and squeeze some winners out of the submissions. In the end guesses about the site turning into a community driven space contributed by mEEP and Strife, were pretty close guesses. And out of all I think Jack got the closest with a kind of vague response about a web site update, new features and people helping out, but as vague and thrown together as it was, it was actually about as accurate as we got.
And the winners are
- Jack
- mEEP
- Strife
Big Congrats to the winners! I will send you download links as soon as the dlsite version is released. I will email it to the email address you submitted your comment with. If you want me to send it to another email address send an email to [email protected] . And thanks again to everyone who had a go!
What’s next
- Much anticipated news about ‘Ayako – Sex Addiction’
- I will progressively get all your feedback about the site, but don’t wait start posting comments below
- I’ll post more articles and news and let you know how you can submit articles
- And also a first review featuring Pureprism’s latest work, which is looking pretty damn amazing!
Features will be released progressively over the next days and weeks!
Now enjoy the new site as it unfolds =)

May 23, 2022I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout
on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself?
Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to
see a nice blog like this one today.
Arnhem Taxi
May 22, 2022I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the
eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and
visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your
theme? Exceptional work!
awesome video
May 11, 2022I go to see daily a few web pages and sites to read posts, except this blog provides
quality based writing.

April 23, 2022An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a friend who had been doing
a little research on this. And he actually ordered me dinner simply because I
stumbled upon it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this….
Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending time to talk about this topic here
on your website.

July 3, 2011Sorry miro from my other post i have your new website, its much answersome i like and the news of 3d of ayako in the my new post,of the blog its like dlsite not specifically categorie from hentai or 3d games.
miro
July 4, 2011hope you like it =)
greyfox
July 3, 2011Another cool idea is to add a section called Check these out and include great older works in there with links to the companies/circles sites and maybe previews of the old works as well. Just an idea.
miro
July 3, 2011Yes, I’ve thought about reviewing some of the old calssics, I was thinking we could give them a score for back then and now, something like that. But there are some definite inspirational works, which kind of shaped todays art and they need a mention!
greyfox
July 3, 2011First off I must say that I really love the new site, especially the design and the concept as well. There has been Many Many times that I have thought to myself…why can’t DLSite have a section for only 3D CG products, whether photos, animation, movies, slideshows, etc… This is Exactly what you have done with your concept that you have created here in your newly designed site. I am so glad that you have decided to do this and I look forward to all of the great additions as well as new projects from you. I for one love the fact that if this whole concept of having everything 3D CG here on one site. The announcing/revealing of new 3DCG projects, reviews of 3DCG products, Interviews, and updates from all of the Super-Talented artists out there. This site is going to be Great! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the newest PurePrism release: Meditation Sex Wizard. I fell in love with their stuff years ago when they released Meditation Sex Megamisama and have been waiting literally years for them to release this newest work of theirs. From the moment it was released, I was totally blown away by all of their great work on it! Other great companies that you should try and work with to get updates are Fighting Cuties of Tifacore fame, Crazy3DTeam, Chikko, SYLD, and of course Umemaro. These companies along with Affect3D produce my favorite 3DCG porn! And an idea for the slogan…The place for all things 3DCG. Just a thought.
miro
July 3, 2011Yes, that’s the idea, lots and lots of ideas in the works. Will see how it all works out! Yes, reviewing Meditation Sex Wizard should be fun! I’ve been taking a look around and there’s lots of great stuff out there, time to bring it all in one site =) I’ll def check out the circles you mentioned. Not sure I’ve heard of Crazy3DTeam, but the rest I know. Good times ahead!

Cyanide
July 2, 2011Love the site, but the white body is a bit bright. Nonetheless, I can’t wait for the other content, reviews etc. More porn can’t be a bad thing right?
miro
July 2, 2011bit harsh going from black to mostly white =)
From all the trends in porn of late I think 3D has the most potential, but it’s going to take a few years.
Jack
July 2, 2011First of all. I CAN BELIVE I WON!! WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! Thanks a lot Miro, really.
Second, the website looks amazing, nice upgrade. This site it’s gonna be great once is fully loaded. It’s great that this is going to be a community. There isnt much sites around with the 3D concept as a main theme so I think this site soon is gonna be full of people. Congrats Miro, this is gonna be huge (like Ayakos boobies :P).
miro
July 2, 2011No need to thank me, it was all down to your uncanny skill at guessing! … and nice tactical use of Ayako’s boobage =)
Supro
