Design Today

Ever since the internet brought sex online, technology has been at the forefront in expanding this market into new areas. The sex industry has always expanded with new developments in technology, as demonstrated when they were the first to heavily invest in webcams to bring their one-on-one peep shows to a world wide audience. Online anything goes, and it seems that the weird and wonderful world of internet titillation has now climaxed with the birth of 3D Animated Sex.

There are thousands of online sites dedicated to bringing 3D animated sex to people. It’s rise in popularity shows that the technological advances in 3D design is making people spend their money and their time in exploring this new world. The 3D Cyber Sex community are currently presented with a variety of different sites that offer a range of different delights. There are the cheap looking ones that simply show clips of 3D animated people performing sexual acts. But the more popular sites are those where the world of gaming has been added into the cyber sex industry. And the game indirectly responsible for steering the sex industry in a new 3D direction is the classic game The Sims.

This game is a life simulation which mirrors daily activities of one or more virtual people in a virtual suburban household. The objective of the game is to encourage the player to make choices and engage in a fully interactive environment. Although this might seem like an odd way to spend your time, The Sims has sold more than 16 million copies worldwide since 2002, and has been nominated for numerous gaming awards. 3D Animated Sex have taken this success story and added a little spice to the mix.

A new generation of adult social games has emerged that bring multiple users together in sexual environments. Examples include Red Light Centre and Playboy: The Mansion. These are explicit adult 3D games which use sexual scenarios as their lure. However, although such explicit animated sex games have big financial backers, there are more popular 3D games which people are being drawn to.

The first of these are the amateur games in Flash or Java, where amateur designers are creating and distributing adult text adventure games known as “Adult Interactive Fiction.” The Internet has allowed such adult games to receive wider availability and recognition, and of course, allow the makers to make lots of money.

The second kind of 3D animated sex online is found in those worlds that are made up almost entirely of player-made content, and which has a host of adult entertainment features including nudity and full on sexual scenarios. Games such as Second Life and World of Warcraft are two popular examples of this new form of 3D animated sex. The hybrid between the sexual dimension and the proven popularity of the virtual game world is proving to be a huge hit with online users seeking sexual thrills.

As early as the ATARI 2600 with console games such as Custer’s Revenge, sex has proven to be an irresistible attraction. When PC’S came along the sexual dimension in gaming was adult text adventures, which with technological advances in 3D design became graphical adventures. One of the most popular and mainstream game series was Leisure Suit Larry. Although CD-ROM and multimedia based games arrived in the 1990’s, most adult games featured video clips with limited interactivity. But the speed of advances in 3D Design has seen a wave of companies taking advantage of people’s desire for more sex in a virtual environment.

Although modern console publishers such as Sony have an internal censorship policy, the Xbox and GameCube don’t, allowing sex to infiltrate unnoticed into the mainstream. But it’s not just in console gaming where 3D Animated sex can be found. A British-Norwegian film is taking CGI and are introducing the world’s first 3D digitally animated sex scene.

The film makers have taken the world of CGI and imbued it with drugs, fecklessness, and swearing. The film is called Free Jimmy, and is probably not for the kids. It centres around a stoned circus elephant called Jimmy who is given uppers and downers by his evil Russian ringmaster. He also has heroin stored in him and becomes the target of deranged animal activists, thuggish Lapp mafiosi and trigger-happy Scottish hunters.

Adult animation is nothing new. From Fritz the Cat in 1972 (“He’s X-rated and he’s animated!”) through to the South Park movie and 2004’s foul-mouthed marionettes in Team America: World Police (“Putting the F back in Freedom”), animated sex has a long and colourful history.

With established companies such as 3D Fatwax Design in the UK pushing the boundaries of 3D Design, it’s not surprising to find other entrepreneurs with specialist 3D Skills using the medium to sell sex using the same technology.

And so we’ve reached a point where 3D animated sex has become part of the internet, game consoles and the movies. It’s popularity isn’t going to diminish as is seen in the number of people willing to spend their time and money in enjoying animated sex online. Censors have been trying to pass laws to prevent things from getting out of hand, but it seems they face an uphill struggle to contain the popularity and success of what people want.

So if you have an interest in living in a virtual 3D world where you can play the role of a swinging hipster, or you prefer watching animated beings perform acts from the Kama Sutra, then you won’t have to look hard to find it. Even if you don’t go looking for it, 3D animated sex is bound to pop up in your local cinema anytime soon. Just remember not to take the children!
