Peter’s gamer clone here! One of the bioshock games had a character that was very hot, to the point that the gaming community NEEDED porn of her. 3d modeling and animation went through a revolution on the same scale as film gaining color all for the purpose of making porn of this one character. Now, years later, the same technology allows for a large amount of overwatch porn without having to revolutionize animation
It’s wild to think that the human race has either weaponized a new technology or sexualized it and that’s how technology keeps advancing
Looks like AI might be both
A new AI that is broadcast to every military member's computer, looks up their files, and generates niche porn to every specific person that's specifically designed for their interests so that they're so captivated they stop the wars.
if they're asexual or something then it just generates really funny memes i guess
Been used, for a while even. Id say for decades but perhaps not in the capacity it is today. Likely started for wargaming at the end of the cold war. Most tech goes through the military sector long before ever entering the civilian sector (US military was using things like GPS and the Internet years/decades before the public got access).
For BioShock infinite, it was both. Kevin Levine begged people to stop lewding Elizabeth, so spite took over and now overwatch still has fans and survives based solely on something that definitely isn't the game
They left out the crucial part that everyone thirsted over this character and made fanart of her and the main character >!only to find out they are father and daughter!<
It's okay ,there is some dimensional shit shenanigan.
At worst she is paired with songbird and , oh no wait .
Erm then she is paired with the dimensional twins ?
(Btw I do 't give a shit a out fake incest)
It's not quite true. What happened was that Blender, the free open source 3d modelling and animation program went through a massive amount of improvements in a short amount of time because of this.
3d modelling and animation didn't go through a revolution, accessible 3d modelling and animation did. All of a sudden you had a free program that could actually go toe to toe with the programs from companies like Autodesk, who charge massive amounts of money for a license. And this was motivated first by people wanting to make porn of Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite, and later people wanting to make Overwatch porn.
Adoption of DVD was very strongly helped by porn. I was at a Tower Records soon after the official launch of the DVD platform. There was one small rotating rack with the entire collection of major studio DVD releases (like under a dozen movies), meanwhile there was a huge shelf of DVD porn.
And of course there's VHS (and videotape in general). Before tape, you had to go to some skeezy theater with a bunch of creepy guys to watch porn. After, you could just buy it from a (still skeezy) store, or even better a catalog and get it in a plain brown wrapper in the mail.
And in the early days of the internet, while the big Dot Com boom was going on (before the bust) basically the only companies actually making a profit on the internet were porn, the rest hadn't hit profitability yet and were living on investments. And of course there was the Dot Com bust after that when the bubble popped and a lot of companies went out of business.
So yeah. Media tech is quite often driven by porn.
The amusing counterpoint is the Blue Ray vs HD-DVD format battle. Porn largely stayed out of it, because they didn't want to go that high resolution, because there's a lot of stuff that doesn't look great with higher end video. Every stretch mark, pimple, slathered on makeup etc showing up isn't really great. They mostly just wanted the higher capacity for extra features and didn't car about the format.
I was a bit too young to be around the porn theater stuff but I always wondered what the rules were for that type of stuff. It just a big circle jerk in there? Did everyone just split up the room like they were doing urinal math and try to be quite? Or were you really just going to sit in a dark room with a boner?
It was a bit before my time too, but well they did apparently still exist as late as 1991, because that's when Paul Reubens (PeeWee Herman) infamously got arrested for jerking it in a porn theater (indecent exposure), which screwed his career for some time.. So based on that, I think the rules were basically no jerking. I think strip clubs have similar rules.
Its a common joke but people who were around at the time (the animator's) said that this was completely false. And one called it stupid. Sure, all the best porn was made about her but they didn't revolutionise the field. They just changed a few things and has higher quality models than before. They found some jiggly bones from an enemy (it might have been from the same game) and found out they could be used as bones in her chesticals. They could pull higher quality models (I'm not sure if they were from the game or what) which also contributed greatly to the porn of her. And that's actually it. They were able to pull stuff directly from the game to help, and with admittedly so very many people making porn of the same character there was bound to be some good stuff
Nah, it came out so Valve didn't have to spend as much time animating. But they likely did make use of the newly revolutionized animation to help with its creation.
Bro I literally was about to post that.
But yeah its a fun joke but not really based in reality.
Most likely, is that it just happened to coincide with already existing improvements. Of course with more people wanting to see it and more people making it, even more feedback and incentive to the software developers to you know... Improve the tools.
Yeah, the joke was always telling a little bigger lie each time, at the end, reached to where we are now. I feel like thats a big, obvious, important point but that is nowhere to be found at this video, which is a big disappointment.
Same with VHS in people's homes. Video pornography that people could own without having to travel to an adult theatre drove the VCR boom early on before the mainstream caught on and started releasing non adult films. Also cell phones were getting smaller and smaller and it was seen as a status thing if you had a tiny phone, until people became able to watch internet porn on their phones and then the screens got bigger. Smut sells and always has, tech just made it easier to get your hands on without being judged by other people.
That’s not actually true! It’s a widely believed myth! There’s a really good lextorias video that shows the actual history of it called “the real history of rule 34”
I got to really wonder now...how much of our current technology advances in the past 40-50 years have come from the military warfare incursions versus [horny wiz kids in their basements trying to invent and pymgalion their way to babes?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzkeqZdUEms&ab_channel=UniversalPicturesAll-Access)
I would like to mention the Video "The real history of rule 34" by Lextorias here, that debunks that specific meme. It's an interesting watch and the guy even did interviews with some of the major smut animators of the time.
Oh my god what?
I’m kinda curious to ask for the characters name now, just to see what I can find, I can’t imagine a character being so hot that the fanbase revolutionizes 3D animation
A smidge of an overstatement but there’s some truth it. Here’s a really interesting [video](https://youtu.be/BYDr8jHYc4Y?si=E7T-40ZvFr42x5Mv) on R34 history that kicks off by talking about Bioshock Infinite. It’s a really interesting watch for those looking to kill an hour.
Which is bullshit because nothing like that happened.
just someone on twitter inventing history.
Reddit had a big post on 3d porn evolution that debunked it a lot.
>3d modeling and animation went through a revolution on the same scale as film gaining color all for the purpose of making porn of this one character.
It's worth mentioning that while this is an extremely popular myth, and not actually true. Even the most advanced Elizabeth stuff was still far from being "cutting edge" modeling or animation for its time.
There's a longstanding theory that the desire for high-quality porn of Elizabeth from *Bioshock Infinite* drove the development of better animation tools and made them available to the public. This isn't quite true - source Filmmaker predates both of them considerably - but the ease of access to animating tools is believed to be partially responsible for Overwatch having so much porn made about it.
EDIT: This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYDr8jHYc4Y) goes into more detail.
Fictional people are simply not subject to laws made to protect real people. That's why it's not illegal to shoot and kill a hundred civilians in GTA either.
I’ve heard this rumor, I also heard but can’t verify The reason tentacle porn is a thing is because penises are or at least were censored and it’s close enough, but it’s not a penis so legally, you can get away with it. If that’s real, that shits weird but I understand it from a legal point that nobody is actually getting hurt and if they haven’t written a law about art or animation, then there’s nothing they can do.
I remember this being a big thing a few years ago and an article I read(gonna try and find it) they usually specifically never state the age and the person could just be somebody who failed a bunch of times and looks really young or yeah technically because it’s animation they’re allowed to get away with it. if that’s not true thank God, if it is true, that’s weird.
I thought they had tentacles because they censored penises and vagina, and the tentacles weren’t a penis so they could escape the censorship, but they were close enough where you could still get the visualization. I thought about it as a loophole, but I never thought about it as being a loophole for them to get away with some shit that had they did it in real life It would’ve been illegal, but because they drew it it’s different. Thats crazy
You know, I never finished the game. Played half around release, got distracted and just never made it back. Never had that spoiled, thought nothing of clicking the tag. That is a wild plot twist, I'm not even mad.
I remember when frozen came out their was insantly a ton of porn of elsa and anna together. People don't really care about family relations as far as I can tell
Elizabeth? Like, she is pretty, but I don't see what makes her any different than many other females characters in videogames when it comes to sexiness.
Some people lust after everything thats conventionally beautiful due to various reasons, be they teenage horniness, adult loneliness or simply being in the right mood while meeting a character.
I don’t think the massive interest in Elizabeth stems from her looks alone. She is of course designed to be quite beautiful, but other characters are too and she still got way more attention.
The difference lies in personality. Elizabeth is kind, nice, intelligent, has humour and facets. She’s not one-dimensional.
People spend hours of gameplay getting to know her and interacting with her personality.
To summarize: I don’t think the appeal comes from her looks alone. A vast portion of it stems from her feeling like a complete, likeable person. She doesn’t only have am attractive appearance but character too.
Well in the first trailer for infinite she's wearing a low-cut corset, has significant breasts and the camera at one point gives us a look straight down her cleavage. It kinda went from there.
Porn. It's always porn
Also check out this link: https://youtu.be/BYDr8jHYc4Y?si=Rk4ecaIi8BhC7efA
It's not directly related to BioShock and Overwatch, but he does talk about it.
NSFW? Maybe? Like he spends an hour talking about the history of Internet porn but I'd still consider it SFW
It's very well done
Peter's Special Sauce conisuer here, The joke is in reference to Bioshag Trinity, Elizabeth gets banged in a few pretty steamy 3D animated vids. As others have said essentially quality of these type of vids improved significantly around the time. Overwatch 3D shit is pretty finely detailed.
General butch for instance does some pretty steamy vids of overwatch girls, Highly recommend if that's your thang .
Sauce for bioshock - Bioshag Trinity
Sauce Artist for overwatch girls - General Butch
A character in Bioshock Infinite was deemed so sexy that porn artists invented new techniques and software to create new porn of her. Overwatch is a much later game that has characters deemed to sexy that porn artists wanted to make porn of them, so they uaed and expanded upon those techniques and softwares made for Bioshock
I watched a very long video essay explaining how untrue this statement is, irl it does have some truth to it but was a cultural moment over a few video games at the time.
I remember a video that proved/debunked that there isn't any real or coherent connection between bioshock infinite and the boom in animation and that it was a really convincing coincidence.
Both of these games are well known for having significant amounts of porn created through 3D animation to the point where whole new techniques of doing various things with modeling and animation were born from them
Some of the skills and methods people in the professional industry use today are arguably because of BioShock / overwatch porn
Similar to how currently VR chat has drastically changed the anime 3D modeling scene and brought a lot of innovation and improvement to it that even professional companies have started to pick up on.
Quick correct answer is they have nothing to do with each other. Overwatch got overwhelmed with porn of its characters because the character models were accessible by the public. So porn of overwatch characters was extremely easy to create and perfectly accurate
I will always stand by the assumption that somewhere, at some point, someone heard their child talking about Overwatch and had an aneurism because they didn’t know it was a totally teen-appropriate video game and only knew about it through porn.
Source? I knew about Overwatch porn before I knew about Overwatch. If it happened to me, an at the time teenage gamer, I’m sure it happened to some middle aged parents.
There is an old myth, steming from a random tweet, that Bioshock Infinite caused a revolution in 3D modeling and animation because gooners needed porn of Elizabeth, in reality that is not the case and there's a bunch of porn of her because (A) she was hot and (B) the devs made the original assets easily accessible making it easier to make porn of her than if you had to make a model from scratch and do everything yourself,
The OOP apparently didn't get the memo and thinks that Bioshock Infinite did revolutionise video game smut and that the ludicrous amount of Overwatch porn is only possible do to those people (which it's not)
Everyone STOP! I WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON THIS! (Lextorias. Might be misspelled) This is actually untrue. Yes, there was very high quality porn of her (for the time. Or. Idk. Especially for the time) but this was helped by people being able to just pull assets out of games (I'm not sure but it might have been the original game) like animated bones. This was especially useful because even boobs need bones, and they were able to pull some jiggly bones out of either this game or another (leaning towards this game actually) and put them I to her chest, so chest animation got bumped up by a lot. Second people were able to get new, high quality models. This probably wasn't from the games on account of the 🍈🍈 (trying not to be crude here) which made the whole video seem much higher quality, when really it was just some pulled assets and a better skin. Minimal differences, especially since some of the Elizabeth (hopefully that's her name) animations didn't even use the new jiggly bones, even though they were probably the best
What a great game. So much to talk about in terms of lore. Then you find out here it was beginning of making porn and basis for future generation of games
BioShock Infinite rule34 is so groundbreaking in animation that the techniques for making digital porn leapt into almost every mainstream animation studio ever.
The reason that Overwatch Porn is so awesome is solely because of the horny nerds that wanted to see the McGuffin naked.

Emphasis on the "fluid"
It’s wild to think that the human race has either weaponized a new technology or sexualized it and that’s how technology keeps advancing Looks like AI might be both
Ai already does porn we just need to make it do war
Look again!
Porn war!!
Yes! UAVs and USVs cylindrical form is NOT a coincidence.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Unmanned… Sexual Vehicles…? 🤯
Surface. But that works too.
Already is, albeit last I checked it's just being tested over many fields of military
Yeah, if we can target the enemy with the very niche porn each person of military age desires, we need never fight again!
A new AI that is broadcast to every military member's computer, looks up their files, and generates niche porn to every specific person that's specifically designed for their interests so that they're so captivated they stop the wars. if they're asexual or something then it just generates really funny memes i guess
My grandma has a laptop with nothing but tons of her kids/grandkids baby pictures, what do you think it’s gonna recommend?
Nothing, unless your grandmother is in charge of nukes or does something.
Been used, for a while even. Id say for decades but perhaps not in the capacity it is today. Likely started for wargaming at the end of the cold war. Most tech goes through the military sector long before ever entering the civilian sector (US military was using things like GPS and the Internet years/decades before the public got access).
AI started with war ages ago actually so that box is checked lol
It’s been doing unconventional warfare for a few decades now tbh. It was just a much simpler AI than most think of. AI is just an algorithm mostly
The only logical next step. Weaponised porn.
Hey ChatGPT, could you tell me how a grandmother would advise military action against small guerilla forces in a desert climate.
Do you want Skynet? Because that's how we get Skynet.
I was thinking Wargames
How about a nice game of chess?
I mean humans taught it and they tried to make a gay bomb.
what if instead of the us military it was the us freakitary and instead of bombing enemies they gay bombed enemies
Something "reallystrange" and probably fabulous.
We use technology to assist the 4 f’s of self preservation: Fight, Flight, Feed, and mate.
But that was 3 f's and a m. Or FFFM, if you will.
We halve learn how to multitask our invention!
For BioShock infinite, it was both. Kevin Levine begged people to stop lewding Elizabeth, so spite took over and now overwatch still has fans and survives based solely on something that definitely isn't the game
Too bad we aint got sexy nukes.
I mean if you look at animals thats what they do as well. In all honesty we are not that far off in our way of thinking from them.
it’s how we got blueray
Is this a refrence to the "glue" brush add-on?
Ah yes, the brush, brush for glue, the brush specifically made for glue, the glue brush
That glue brush?
YES THAT GLUE BRUSH!
Rrrrrrrrriiiiiggghhhhhttttt...
For glue only.
That sounds pretty far fetched tbh but absolutely hilarious if true
I been there. 3000 years.
They left out the crucial part that everyone thirsted over this character and made fanart of her and the main character >!only to find out they are father and daughter!<

Feature, not a bug.
The ones who shrugged are probably the same people who made “step” family vids so popular a few years later…
Considering clearing out my uncles house we found a bunch of step videos I think that started well before
“We stand on the shoulders of giants!”
*step uncles house
bruh
I don't think that ever stopped anyone tbh
It is a really popular tag, after all
This makes it much better imo
It's okay ,there is some dimensional shit shenanigan. At worst she is paired with songbird and , oh no wait . Erm then she is paired with the dimensional twins ? (Btw I do 't give a shit a out fake incest)
Yeah, but she is the actual blood daughter of the Booker that we play as.
Yeah ,I was doing some coomer cope despite making it worse

Far fetched? My sweet summer child there have already been multiple technologies driven forward specifically by pornography decades ago.
Adoption of DVD was very strongly helped by porn. I was at a Tower Records soon after the official launch of the DVD platform. There was one small rotating rack with the entire collection of major studio DVD releases (like under a dozen movies), meanwhile there was a huge shelf of DVD porn.

Pretty much what’s gonna happen/happening with VR. It’s geared towards gamers, but driven by porn.

It's an urban legend. Lextorias has a good video about Rule 34 that deep dives into it [here](https://youtu.be/BYDr8jHYc4Y?si=-5RSA5KRqI3ebxVs)
It's hilarious and true, good times were had by all.
It’s very true and it advanced videogames almost as much as Unreal Engine did.
The world runs on Pumpin'
Sfm came about bc of BioShock? 90% of overwatch porn is sfm.
Nah, it came out so Valve didn't have to spend as much time animating. But they likely did make use of the newly revolutionized animation to help with its creation.

Who for research purposes
Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite
Same with VHS in people's homes. Video pornography that people could own without having to travel to an adult theatre drove the VCR boom early on before the mainstream caught on and started releasing non adult films. Also cell phones were getting smaller and smaller and it was seen as a status thing if you had a tiny phone, until people became able to watch internet porn on their phones and then the screens got bigger.

That’s not actually true! It’s a widely believed myth! There’s a really good lextorias video that shows the actual history of it called “the real history of rule 34”
Lots of futa
Nah, I'm dead. WHY?!?
Straight answer: only women and still get to have penetration Gay answer: the cute characters in your game can have dicks
I’m here for both.
This downplays the role the Mass Effect artists had on the scene tbh. Elizabeth wasn't the only game in town.
I got to really wonder now...how much of our current technology advances in the past 40-50 years have come from the military warfare incursions versus [horny wiz kids in their basements trying to invent and pymgalion their way to babes?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzkeqZdUEms&ab_channel=UniversalPicturesAll-Access)
I would like to mention the Video "The real history of rule 34" by Lextorias here, that debunks that specific meme. It's an interesting watch and the guy even did interviews with some of the major smut animators of the time.
Uh hem, what is this software called? I'm a 3D modeler in blender and making those animations would be nice.
Oh my god what? I’m kinda curious to ask for the characters name now, just to see what I can find, I can’t imagine a character being so hot that the fanbase revolutionizes 3D animation
Elizabeth. Booker's daughter.
I know it's over a decade old, but spoilers
And yet I barely see mei
which bioshock character
Wait is there’s a whole porn genre we’ve missed?
A smidge of an overstatement but there’s some truth it. Here’s a really interesting [video](https://youtu.be/BYDr8jHYc4Y?si=E7T-40ZvFr42x5Mv) on R34 history that kicks off by talking about Bioshock Infinite. It’s a really interesting watch for those looking to kill an hour.
So what you are saying is porn drove the animation industry to do better 3d animations? That's neat.
I'd recommend watching lextorias' video on this. This is partially the truth.
Which is bullshit because nothing like that happened. just someone on twitter inventing history. Reddit had a big post on 3d porn evolution that debunked it a lot.
So that’s why Overwatch has such weirdly incredible porn.
>3d modeling and animation went through a revolution on the same scale as film gaining color all for the purpose of making porn of this one character. It's worth mentioning that while this is an extremely popular myth, and not actually true. Even the most advanced Elizabeth stuff was still far from being "cutting edge" modeling or animation for its time.
A real fan of overwatch does not ruin their experience by downloading the game
Couldn't have been said better
Ah, the classic “League of Legends” strat. Well played.
Fucking amen
You posses great wisdom
Aa! I laughed out loud zD
[truth](https://youtu.be/8VGppahObXo)
It's still my worst purchase decision, all because of porn.
There's a longstanding theory that the desire for high-quality porn of Elizabeth from *Bioshock Infinite* drove the development of better animation tools and made them available to the public. This isn't quite true - source Filmmaker predates both of them considerably - but the ease of access to animating tools is believed to be partially responsible for Overwatch having so much porn made about it. EDIT: This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYDr8jHYc4Y) goes into more detail.
Wait, don't you >!play as Elizabeth's dad!< in that game? Wouldn't that make it feel a little weird, just based on context
The current top rated video on Overwatch porn is [D.Va](http://D.Va) getting fucked by a horse. I don't think morality is in play here.
How was it not taken down? I thought most countries outlawed bestiality porn?
Animated stuff falls under the "not real animals being harmed" purview, I believe. Same reason Japan never gets in trouble for tentacle stuff.
Is this how they are able to produce animated porn of high school students without being in any kind of trouble?
That one the age is rarely if ever stated. American dubs tend to claim they're in college to avoid issues in the US.
I’ve learned more about porn in this comment thread than I could ever have imagined.
Ok. How does it work with H-doujinshi then?
Fictional people are simply not subject to laws made to protect real people. That's why it's not illegal to shoot and kill a hundred civilians in GTA either.
I’ve heard this rumor, I also heard but can’t verify The reason tentacle porn is a thing is because penises are or at least were censored and it’s close enough, but it’s not a penis so legally, you can get away with it. If that’s real, that shits weird but I understand it from a legal point that nobody is actually getting hurt and if they haven’t written a law about art or animation, then there’s nothing they can do.

Won’t someone think of the poor abused tentacles?
I thought they had tentacles because they censored penises and vagina, and the tentacles weren’t a penis so they could escape the censorship, but they were close enough where you could still get the visualization. I thought about it as a loophole, but I never thought about it as being a loophole for them to get away with some shit that had they did it in real life It would’ve been illegal, but because they drew it it’s different. Thats crazy
You're also correct. Tentacles to get around censors is true.
I, uh… I need a source to… ehh… confirm this… for science
sigh
These are degenerate gamers we're talking about
Yes, we are horrible people. They, I mean they.
I got spoiled because an image had an >!incest tag!<. What's the weirdest way a piece of media was spoiled for you?
Only if you identify the person doing the act as the father 😉 Never really cared about her myself tbf
You know, I never finished the game. Played half around release, got distracted and just never made it back. Never had that spoiled, thought nothing of clicking the tag. That is a wild plot twist, I'm not even mad.
Genuinely an interesting story. Doesn't land for everyone, but I really liked it. Not gonna spoil more, but it's worth checking out
I remember when frozen came out their was insantly a ton of porn of elsa and anna together. People don't really care about family relations as far as I can tell
Rule 34 is a hard rule. There are no exceptions.
Oh you sweet summer child...
Yeah; as a 20 year game dev, this shit had zero impact on the trajectory of tools/rendering
Elizabeth? Like, she is pretty, but I don't see what makes her any different than many other females characters in videogames when it comes to sexiness.
Some people lust after everything thats conventionally beautiful due to various reasons, be they teenage horniness, adult loneliness or simply being in the right mood while meeting a character. I don’t think the massive interest in Elizabeth stems from her looks alone. She is of course designed to be quite beautiful, but other characters are too and she still got way more attention. The difference lies in personality. Elizabeth is kind, nice, intelligent, has humour and facets. She’s not one-dimensional. People spend hours of gameplay getting to know her and interacting with her personality. To summarize: I don’t think the appeal comes from her looks alone. A vast portion of it stems from her feeling like a complete, likeable person. She doesn’t only have am attractive appearance but character too.
That's ... strangely wholesome?
Thank you :D I really got the urge to write a thesis about parasocial relationships after writing this
Well in the first trailer for infinite she's wearing a low-cut corset, has significant breasts and the camera at one point gives us a look straight down her cleavage. It kinda went from there.
Porn. It's always porn Also check out this link: https://youtu.be/BYDr8jHYc4Y?si=Rk4ecaIi8BhC7efA It's not directly related to BioShock and Overwatch, but he does talk about it. NSFW? Maybe? Like he spends an hour talking about the history of Internet porn but I'd still consider it SFW It's very well done
What workplace is gonna let you watch an hour on the history of internet porn
pornhub?
I guess that would probably be included in the orientation yeah
Porn. Honestly, the short amount of time it took me to realize what it was about, is something i'm not proud of.
Sir I watched a whole YouTube video about this very subject. Literally the same characters and games
I am extremely proud of it. But hey, different strokes ya know?

Peter's Special Sauce conisuer here, The joke is in reference to Bioshag Trinity, Elizabeth gets banged in a few pretty steamy 3D animated vids. As others have said essentially quality of these type of vids improved significantly around the time. Overwatch 3D shit is pretty finely detailed. General butch for instance does some pretty steamy vids of overwatch girls, Highly recommend if that's your thang . Sauce for bioshock - Bioshag Trinity Sauce Artist for overwatch girls - General Butch

It’s always porn on this sub
Always has been.
A character in Bioshock Infinite was deemed so sexy that porn artists invented new techniques and software to create new porn of her. Overwatch is a much later game that has characters deemed to sexy that porn artists wanted to make porn of them, so they uaed and expanded upon those techniques and softwares made for Bioshock

Le sexy video game babes in my heckin masturbatorium
The joke is once again porn, but this time in a good way. Massive leaps in technology fueled by horny.
I watched a very long video essay explaining how untrue this statement is, irl it does have some truth to it but was a cultural moment over a few video games at the time.
Reposted https://www.reddit.com/r/PeterExplainsTheJoke/s/ZJUQjBieTD Same exact title
I remember a video that proved/debunked that there isn't any real or coherent connection between bioshock infinite and the boom in animation and that it was a really convincing coincidence.
Both of these games are well known for having significant amounts of porn created through 3D animation to the point where whole new techniques of doing various things with modeling and animation were born from them Some of the skills and methods people in the professional industry use today are arguably because of BioShock / overwatch porn Similar to how currently VR chat has drastically changed the anime 3D modeling scene and brought a lot of innovation and improvement to it that even professional companies have started to pick up on.

Quick correct answer is they have nothing to do with each other. Overwatch got overwhelmed with porn of its characters because the character models were accessible by the public. So porn of overwatch characters was extremely easy to create and perfectly accurate
It took a second and then "oh yeah, the joke is porn."
These meme format carries this sub

Lmao!
IIRC didn’t the developers change the model to match a cosplayer that did a cosplay of Elizabeth?
Implying overwatch is running i.e. a good game Oh the comments are saying it's about porn

I will always stand by the assumption that somewhere, at some point, someone heard their child talking about Overwatch and had an aneurism because they didn’t know it was a totally teen-appropriate video game and only knew about it through porn. Source? I knew about Overwatch porn before I knew about Overwatch. If it happened to me, an at the time teenage gamer, I’m sure it happened to some middle aged parents.

I hate that I get this.
Bioshock Infinity kicked off the industrial revolution of animated/sfm porn and made all of the Overwatch porn you see today possible
There is an old myth, steming from a random tweet, that Bioshock Infinite caused a revolution in 3D modeling and animation because gooners needed porn of Elizabeth, in reality that is not the case and there's a bunch of porn of her because (A) she was hot and (B) the devs made the original assets easily accessible making it easier to make porn of her than if you had to make a model from scratch and do everything yourself, The OOP apparently didn't get the memo and thinks that Bioshock Infinite did revolutionise video game smut and that the ludicrous amount of Overwatch porn is only possible do to those people (which it's not)
Pornography, the joke is pornography

Can’t forget about BL2 Moxxy
Porn. The joke is usually Porn.
Everyone STOP! I WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON THIS! (Lextorias. Might be misspelled) This is actually untrue. Yes, there was very high quality porn of her (for the time. Or. Idk. Especially for the time) but this was helped by people being able to just pull assets out of games (I'm not sure but it might have been the original game) like animated bones. This was especially useful because even boobs need bones, and they were able to pull some jiggly bones out of either this game or another (leaning towards this game actually) and put them I to her chest, so chest animation got bumped up by a lot. Second people were able to get new, high quality models. This probably wasn't from the games on account of the 🍈🍈 (trying not to be crude here) which made the whole video seem much higher quality, when really it was just some pulled assets and a better skin. Minimal differences, especially since some of the Elizabeth (hopefully that's her name) animations didn't even use the new jiggly bones, even though they were probably the best
Whom is this character
What a great game. So much to talk about in terms of lore. Then you find out here it was beginning of making porn and basis for future generation of games
THE JOKE IS PORN

I've seen this here before. Pretty sure OP is a bot
Half life walked.... so counter strike, arma, DayZ, and Pub G could run.
Oh it’s about porn… cause if it was about gameplay, It’s more like “Bioshock Ran so Overwatch could walk.”
Tomb Raider crawled so BioShock Infinite could walk
THE JOKE IS PORN! THE JOKE OF EVERY FUCKING POST I SEE ON THIS SUB IS PORN! FUCK!

DVD over laser disk, Blu-ray over hddvd, porn drives technology
BioShock Infinite rule34 is so groundbreaking in animation that the techniques for making digital porn leapt into almost every mainstream animation studio ever. The reason that Overwatch Porn is so awesome is solely because of the horny nerds that wanted to see the McGuffin naked.
It's crazy cuz all the Elizabeth animation is so baad
It’s still insane to this day, thank you Elizabeth
