As I’m sure you know by now, Amusteven has been September’s Featured Artist. If you’re not familiar with his work, he’s the talent behind the Mad Alyss, Tanya & the Succubus, and Velna series. We’ve been celebrating here all week with looks at an unreleased set and the Velna 3 trailer, all leading up to Velna 3′s release tomorrow! With all the excitement surrounding his animation debut, he didn’t mind answering a few questions for us here at Affect3D.
How did you start in 3DX? Is there anything you can point to that really got you into it?
I never thought of doing 3DX until I saw Blackadder’s work and got inspired by it. After that, I decided to go into 3DX when I realized that 3D models can be created with programs like Daz and Poser. Then I took about a year to learn all the programs and workflow needed to create my first 3D set, Mad Alyss.
You have three main sets on the Affect3D Store: Tanya & the Succubus, Mad Alyss, and Velna. Do you have a favorite to work on? Which one of the girls is your favorite, if you have one?
My favorite to work on changes from time to time, so I would say all of them. My favorite girls are Alyss and Velna. I like both their looks and personalities. For all the girls, I always want to make them perfect and I find myself modifying them every time I’m working on a new set.
At the end of the week you’re releasing Velna 3, something we’re all excited for around here. What program did you do most of the work on? How long have you been working on it?
I did most of the work using Daz Studio, and rendered in Unreal Engine 4. The whole process took about 6 months to complete, which includes the time I learn Unreal Engine from the ground up. Animating also took plenty of time due to the lack of animation ability in Daz Studio. The process that gives me the most headache is the file transferring workflow between different programs. I was once almost decided to abandon this project because of these difficulties. But after all that, it’s worth it! And I hope you like it as well.
What inspired Velna and her adventures?
You may have noticed that the first Velna scene has some similarities to Mission Impossible II. And yes, Velna comes from that movie’s inspiration. She will be carrying out missions in the series just like Tom Cruise! Unlike Mad Alyss and Tanya & The Succubus series, the Velna series is not bound to a story line or time periods, which opens up more possibility and bigger room for creativity in the sets.
Mad Alyss is a personal favorite of mine. I love how each set is a different step into Wonderland and Ghost Ship, specifically, is excellent. What inspires you to keep going back there?
Mad Alyss was my first 3DX set. I am trying very hard to make it like a full movie. The storyline alone has taken me plenty of brain juice for it to be presentable in image base format while not losing its plot. I enjoy creating it, and will keep on until its story comes to an end.
What programs are you favoring right now for set work?
I am using Daz Studio for creation and Blender cycles for rendering. It is a painful workflow between these 2 programs. Every material needs to be re-adjusted in Blender for it to create good image. It would have been easier if Daz and Iray was available earlier before I started my 3DX job.
What significance does your name hold for you?
A-must-even? Lol, just joking. Amu is a fiction character that I created when I was in college, and Steven is my nick. Not much meaning in it actually.
Is there anything you’d like to tell your fans here at Affect3D?
Thanks for all the support from fans, which keeps me motivated and helps me to do the best 3DX. Quality is always my top priority over quantity and I will keep it this way. I will always do my best in creating 3DX in the future. Thanks!
Velna 3 is out tomorrow! Check out the trailer here or on our PornHub channel!
