Ahh, Prolly the questions of all questions lol, this one will prolly be a long read littered with grammatical errors lol....
First off, I would not say that 3D Toons would be the MOST misunderstood niche, for example, diapers, balloons their pretty out there lol.
Do People Really Wank? I can only speak for myself and say I have no clue lol, Over the last 10 years I've formed a few opinions on this though, and I'll expound on them.
I personally feel there is a good mix of exactly WHY this content works the way it does, it's a 2 parter
(1) since it is hand-created or "Art" people can look at it (and even wank to it) and tell themselves it's ART not PORN
(2) 3D Toons, and traditional Toons can deliver stuff that real porn just CAN'T, hands down so there is the fantasy aspect.
Now I know in other countries like Japan for example, they are into some pretty 'freaky' stuff (say from the standards of folks in the US) and I'm SURE they whip out the noodle and soak it in soy-sauce lol
As for how I got into the game that's the "funny" story...
I had been working off and on with MSAgent back in the mid 90's building lil 'screen-mates' for mainstream stuff offline (You remember that annoying animated paperclip from Office? THATS MSAgent stuff....
Anyway, fast forward to 98 or 99 I was working with a mainstream client of mine (record company) they had an artist with a new album coming out and they needed some way of having him posing with weed but NOT have any trouble associated with it, so I got ahold of some 3D-Software, and created a virtual version of the artist, and posed him (very crudely by todays standards lol) with joints, bongs, feilds of pot etc.
Fast forward a few months and I had gotten hired by some locals to shoot local girls for a pornsite
Some locals saw it, and asked... "Hey you think you can do that porn style and make some D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) style stuff?" I figured I could give it a try
I made up some (AWFUL) pics of this green elf chick and put them into the paysite mockup, we had then found a man by the name of Kre8t0r over at Adult NetSurprise and had 'hired' him to be our consultant, I say "Hired" cause he never did get paid lol.
At any rate, the minute Kre8t0r saw the 3D stuff, he DEMANDED that pull the toons down and make a standalone paysite with them, I took that idea to the locals and they said NO! all they wanted to do was shoot local girls... or they just wanted to see the local girls naked lol, so I asked them if they cared if I went off on my own with the toons, they said they didn't give a shit, so I got back with Kre8t0r and said... "Since your the one who told me to do this shit, YOUR gonna be my partner in this shit"
The locals project never got off the ground and they folded, so I took the tours I had designed and revamped them for these new 3D sites, and in mid 2001 V1rtualDesires was born and we released the first 100% 3D Toon Paysite (Prior to that there WERE OTHER 3D paysites BUT they featured both real and toon porn)
shortly after we opened V1rtualDesires Cash (VDC) which also then became the first 100% 3D-Toon program (again prior there was no-one pushing JUST 3D paysites)
V1rtualDesires Cash was renamed Planet X Cash in mid / late 2004 and closed in 2007 due to 'host issues' (See Question #11 for that story)
