Why can't they choose a name and stick to it? I'm a programmer and not an artist by nature. And while I DO pay for artists for their time, there's an better alternative: 3ds max 2010 (the previous version I licensed was 3d Studios MAX 6: I didn't like it, but, Oh, max has come a LONG WAY). The Max 2010's software environment is VERY robust. Also, !NET RENDER! get a few servers together, render overnight, and wake up to the beautiful art of your dream. note: SEX villa doesn't do it while you sleep, unlike max:) If you are serious about seeing your artistic visions instantiated in reality, I'd suggest you license 3ds max 2010 as I did (or 2011, but your favorite plugins are not fully supported yet). Is worth every dollar. I actually agreed with james about 3d SEX Villa. Why can’t they choose a name and stick to it?

I struggled with that exact same problem. The user interface on the pose editor leaves a LOT to be desired. Anyway, it turns out that if you translate the hands, the arms follow; the elbow rotates but does not translate, because it moves depending on where the shoulders (which move with the "upper body" translator) and the hands are. My first try, I got a girl with her hands way up in the air. But the second try, that time I was able to pose her arms/hands where I wanted. 3D Sex Villa must have been the best kept secret on the internet, because I never once heard of it or the ThriXXX engine until last month, nor saw a single screenshot or piece of user-generated art.

It's almost indistinguishable from 3D Sex Villa (for me, the novelty of that wore off after about 2 hours 2 years ago). So basically a marketing drive has duped me into subscribing to a Sex Villa clone. And to access new features I have to go through dullness -- DULL DULL DULL -- swinging disembodied hands in and out repetitively just to earn the right to experience what I have just paid an inflated price for. The "create your own poses" function: there is no obvious arms function! Apparently, there is no way to alter the model's T-splayed arms! Perhaps I have to "earn" the right to unsplay the arms? Either way, when someone of my intelligence (who has just sat through a tutorial) is left floundering and frustrated trying to achieve the basics, something is far wrong. In almost no time, I realized I just didn't care. The basics -- like dressing a girl up in an office outfit and slowly opening her legs in a sitting posture -- are unachievable. But for some reason, I can indulge in the fantasy of strange animal-like ears?! The "direct your own movie" line is clever marketing, but "silent movie" would be more accurate. A dialogue function seems blindingly obvious, but was apparently beyond the creators. A technology which has a shot at global significance has been developed by dreary minds. 3D kink is major disappointment for me.

The Gamerotica site restricts downloads to people who have subscriptions to a short list of thriXXX-powered games, not including 3D Kink and not including the Hustler-branded product, either. So the user-generated content over there is not available to play with, whether or not it might be theoretically compatible. Going the other way, as a ThriXXX licensee it would be *possible* for Kink.com to make content (like, say, fetish toys or poses, or even avatars of some of their popular models) available for the 3D Kink product exclusively. Of course I can't say whether they plan to do so. I’m not so sure about that, Josh.

Since appears a straight re-branding (although it seems perhaps lagging very slightly in updates?), I assume that all data is compatible between both.
