Affect3D review: the 3D porn comics store

What the Affect3D Store is

Affect3D is a 3D adult studio that also runs a store for other artists. The About page puts it in one line: Founded by miro in 2010, Affect3D is a both a producer and distributor of 3D animated porn. The store, affect3dstore.com, opened in 2014. The FAQ says the store is based in Cyprus, and the company on card statements is Netdiffusion Limited.

The home page sells 3d porn animations, comics, mobile and desktop interactive games, or immersive VR experiences, which means comics are one shelf among several. You reach them under Format, then CG/Comics, then Comics. On the size of the operation, the home page claims a unique roster of over 200 world-class artists and over 10 weekly releases. The older Sell with A3D page still says "art from over 70 artists and more than 600 products". Both figures are the store's own, and neither says how many of the products are comics.

Everything is in English. The work is western 3D art: no manga, no webtoons, no doujinshi.

Who Affect3D suits

Affect3D suits readers who want to own their 3D porn comics as files. You pay once per title, download it, and keep it on your own drive with no account check every time you open it. Readers who like to browse an archive for a flat monthly fee will find nothing like that here, and anyone who wants to read in a browser tab will find there is no online reader. For an overview of who else publishes rendered adult comics, see our 3D porn comics page.

Affect3D comics, categories and the AI shelf

The store's categories menu lists these, among others:

• Futanari and a separate Futa Comics category
• Fantasy, Sci-fi and Superhero
• Monster, Tentacles and Horror
• BDSM
• Lesbian
• Big Tits
• AI Porn

The last entry is the change long-time buyers notice. Affect3D built its name on rendered 3D work, and the store now carries AI-generated releases beside it. The 2257 disclosure says All sexually explicit images and video are created with 2D, 3D, and AI tools. A reader who wants hand-posed 3D renders only has to check each listing, because the AI work shares the shelves.

Affect3D also produces its own titles, so the catalog is part studio output and part independent artists selling through the store under a commission deal.

What is free

A Free 3D Products category exists, and the menu also lists "Free 3D Porn Stuff" and trailers for animations and games. These are selected releases chosen by the store. There is no free tier in the subscription sense, because there is no subscription. A list of sites where you can read porn comics without paying is on our free porn comics page.

Affect3D prices

Affect3D publishes no plans, only product prices. Each comic has its own price, set per release. One example from the home page: "Secret Agent: Thea II" by Rev3D, a comic, at USD$12.50.

At that price, eight comics cost about what a year of unlimited access costs on Kirtu ($99.95). That comparison cuts both ways. On a subscription site the comics vanish when you stop paying; here the files stay with you, and you buy only what you want. The store gives no average price and no comics count, so we can't say what a typical comic costs beyond the example.

No membership means no renewal and no cancellation. The only money question after checkout is refunds, covered below.

Downloads and reading offline

The download guide says For most products, files are archived into a .zip file, and the home page gives the comic formats as png, jpg or pdf. Some videos come as direct mp4 files. Purchases sit in My Downloads in your account, which is also the closest thing the store has to a private library: a list of what you bought, inside an account that only you log into.

No app exists for iPhone or Android. On iOS you download in the browser, and the store has a separate guide for doing that on an iPhone or iPad. Once the files are on your device, any comic or image reader opens them, and offline reading is simply a matter of having downloaded the zip. More stores that hand you files are on the DRM-free downloads page.

Refunds

The refund page is short and firm: Due to the nature of downloadable products, we do not offer refunds on any purchase outside of special circumstances. The special circumstances it describes are a duplicate purchase or a technical problem the store cannot fix, and in those cases you get product credit, not your money back. Check the listing, the format and the preview before you pay, because a comic you dislike after reading it is not one of the exceptions.

Billing, privacy and the age check

The FAQ explains what appears on a card statement, and it depends on the processor that took the payment: If you purchase your order through SecurionPay, it will list Netdiffusion Limited, through Epoch it lists "Epoch.com *netdiffusion", and through BMT Micro it lists "info.bmtmicro.com". None of the three names Affect3D or mentions adult content.

You need an account to buy, since purchases land in My Downloads. No age gate appears on the store home page, and we found no age clause in the terms. Whether visitors from regions with age-verification laws see a check, we could not confirm from our connection. We also found no statement that all characters are adults on the About, FAQ, terms, 2257, content monitoring or content removal pages.

Content rules

The content monitoring statement says the Affect3D Store conducts a quality assurance and content review process for each product prior to publication, and adds that Affect3D prohibits the use of real life performers in products. The content removal page lists what it takes down, including content that contains or portrays underage performers, bestiality, rape, or other prohibited content. Rights holders and anyone reporting a listing use the DMCA form on that same page.

Selling on Affect3D: the artist program

Affect3D takes artists through its Sell with A3D program. You apply by emailing artists@affect3d.com with samples. Vendors fall into three statuses, and the commission table gives the artist's share of each sale:

On a $12.50 comic, that is $7.50 to a Regular or Featured artist and $8.75 to an Exclusive one. Regular vendors release on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Featured and Exclusive artists can also have their work listed on outside stores, which the page prices at "approx 7.5% fee" for Featured and "approx 5% fee" for Exclusive, and the store offers Japanese translations for those external listings. Every product goes through the content review before it goes live.

The public page does not give payout methods, a minimum payout or a payment schedule; those sit in a downloadable PDF we did not record. How the 60 to 70% compares with other stores and membership sites is on the creator fees page.

Pros and cons

Alternatives to Affect3D

Among the services we cover, the closest options each change one thing:

• Kirtu (Savita Bhabhi) is a studio site with a yearly unlimited plan or monthly credits, and its comics are drawn Indian adult comics. Reading is online only on its current site.
• Iron Circus Comics also sells DRM-free files, as PDFs of drawn erotic graphic novels and anthologies, with print editions beside them.
• Filthy Figments is a subscription archive of drawn erotic comics, and its About page states NO A.I. was used in any stage of the creation of the comics or art published on our site. That is the opposite policy to Affect3D's.

Ranked picks with the criteria spelled out are on the best porn comics sites list, and the full index of services is under all adult comics platforms.
