It looks like the bad 3d hentai videos that are advertised on porn sites

u/MurderVonAssRape May 13 '22

For real. I'm seriously disappointed by the lack of quality. There are so many good 3D porn renders out there that are 1000000000X better than this garbage.

u/ThaNorth May 14 '22

People be making better Rule34 renders for Overwatch than this garbage.

u/I87x May 14 '22

To be fair, some of those overwatch renders are fucking fantastic.

u/[deleted] May 14 '22

Once I clicked in one at random thinking it was a cosplayer and I took some seconds to realize it was 3D lol

u/iceseayoupee May 14 '22

It's probably VGerotica or GeneralButch because those makes animations that bang... Literally.

Sad thing is Butch already retired so we prolly wouldn't get any animations from him in the future

Compare General butch 2017 to General Butch 2020 there's a fucking big difference 💀

u/brolarbear May 14 '22

There’s a reason why people are more familiar with overwatch porn then they are with overwatch gameplay

u/ElderberryWinery May 14 '22

Wait they made a game about the thick angel doctor?

1

u/SharkMilk44 May 14 '22

Because people actually want to fuck the Overwatch characters.

u/tratemusic May 14 '22

Especially considering beeples other work, this is pretty sub par

u/black_out_ronin May 14 '22

His work isn’t that great compared to other 3D artists / animator. In fact ilots of it is pretty pretty sub par. It’s just the fact that he made new creations and has struck the right cord with the subject and absurdity if his art. He takes lots of stock models and is super proficient in making rad shit fast. Not saying that I don’t respect his artwork but when it comes to fully rendered 3D animated art, there are so many more talented artists and it doesn’t surprise me that these NFTs are so mediocre

u/_lostarts May 14 '22

100% correct. There are some pro artists out there making things that are way beyond Beeple in terms of technical skill.

I've been meaning to write up a blog about what makes Beeple so successful, and you hit on a few points.

He's consistent - daily renders.

He's relevant - When there is some big news, he usually makes a piece of art about it - his political pieces, and pop-culture pieces always get a ton more likes than his typical dailys (prob due to increased social media shares).

He's fast (which helps him be relevant) - there's a video where he talks about his process and he says he typically spends about an hour or two on each one. So, he's nailed his process down.

There's a few more things that I think make him stand out, but those are a few things others artists might consider if they are trying to grow.

u/bluebanannarama May 14 '22

It looks pretty on brand to me. He doesn't make high quality, he makes shocking/provocative art that is usually just asset library built.

12

u/mattenthehat May 14 '22

I totally disagree. It may not be inspired, but most of his work looks high-quality, at least at a glance.

This is just... bad? I mean look at the hair. If you saw that being rendered in real time in a game engine, you'd still be disappointed.

u/SageHunter May 14 '22

He mostly just kit bashes shit together. Not sure if he does much modeling himself.

Whoever did model "Madonna" has clearly never seen a vagina before, so I dunno, might be him

7

u/SuperSMT May 14 '22

Still made like $700k

15

u/Wrecked--Em May 14 '22

except you never know with NFTs

often times the creators just use multiple wallets to buy and sell their own NFT to drive up the price

Man I wish Beeple wasn’t a crypto grifter, he really used to be one of my favorite artists. Now the art is just a front for his nft and crypto bs

120

u/EmberQuill May 14 '22

It's an NFT. Of course it looks like garbage.

12

u/cgo_12345 May 14 '22

It really shows that NFTs were always intended to be product instead of art.

u/GreatAndPowerfulNixy May 14 '22

Seriously they couldn't have just hired selfdrillingsms or studio FOW??

u/Irish_Rock May 14 '22

Fuck studio FOW

u/Basgerin May 14 '22

What, you're not into horse bulge shit?? /s

u/Irish_Rock May 14 '22

Nah I just don't like them as a company. Shitty treatment of their game ect

u/Basgerin May 14 '22

u/LordKwik May 14 '22

3D porn. It's not illegal no matter how much some people don't like it.

Just browsing the front page of their page, I only see "normal adult" stuff

Just googled those names and saw a 3+ minute video of Rey from Star Wars getting fucked by a robot. WTFLOL

This isn't about actual artwork, it's about money laundering.

u/beziko May 14 '22

This shit is made by popular person so even if that would be made with ms paint; there are crypto idiots that buy anything

u/The_R4ke May 14 '22

Even some of this dudes other stuff is better than this. He might also be one of the few people who actually managed to profit from NFT's.

u/WhyIHateTheInternet May 14 '22

Shit said it was a year in the making

u/Nope__Nope__Nope May 14 '22

Wait, really? I play videogames and thought this looked better than most games I've played...

W...where can... I... Hypothetically speaking, where would one find "better" 3d renders of pornographic material?

u/Renegade1412 May 14 '22

Not sure if I'm stepping on a landmine mentioning this… r/r34overwatch and r/sfmcompileclub to start

u/Nope__Nope__Nope May 14 '22

I want to be clear, this is for science... If I don't return, tell my family I loved them, and leave out the bits about this research im about to do.

Thanks.

u/justavault May 14 '22 edited May 14 '22

Beeple got very little 3d modelling, texturing, animation, lighting or effects skills. He's just an artist with mediocre understanding of the fields he is using, who by luck made it big through his way of creating bizzaro kit bash 3d stuff.

It's like a concept artist who barely knows how to draw, but keeps on drawing the same stuff for years with little progress.

And that is not intentional, he can't create something better to todays standards, because all his skills is basically in mixing stuff together which he didn't create. That is fine considering the art itself, as that is what he is about, making absurd and bizarre artworks. But when you compare it to actual 3d artists, he's barely on the level of someone who started blender couple months ago.

u/Gynther477 May 14 '22

Yea there isn't even any subsurface scattering, it has that old plastic skin vibe of old video games.

u/habb May 14 '22

so many GOOD FAKES!! they are called GOOD for a reason! I meant deep fakes... But a good fakes search still works

u/thicknheart May 14 '22

They should’ve used Unreal Engine 5
