After ~40 hours of rendering, here's my first completed vore animation! This is a 360° 3D animation for VR headsets that puts you inside a wet, pulsating stomach.

Download

• 4K (135.2 MB): https://mega.nz/file/ksFCSD5Z#tbe2-vos7 ... lqP755Wor4
• 3K (50.4 MB): https://mega.nz/file/1tdw1BLL#wDekKdt28 ... fDk7_dD60s
• 2K (17.2 MB): https://mega.nz/file/MltCAAoK#BKjWsaKA6 ... BxmDMwsmo4

If the 4K or 3K video stutters or fails to play back on your PC, try the next size down.


Specs

• Dimensions (4K): 4096×4096 video, 4096×2048 per eye
• Stereoscopy: top/bottom equirectangular
• Length: 15 seconds (loops seamlessly)
• Frame rate: 60 FPS
• File type: MP4 (H.264)


Rendering details

• Software: Blender 2.91
• Renderer: Cycles (with OptiX)
• GPU: GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
• Sample count: 32
• Time per frame: a little over 2½ minutes


Anticipated questions

Q: How do I play this?
A: If you have a SteamVR-compatible PC headset, you can use DeoVR (recommended) or the built-in SteamVR Media Player. I haven't tested any other software/hardware.

Q: What about audio?
A: Play your favorite vore audio alongside the animation! The video is only a 15 second loop, so any audio baked into the file would get repetitive quickly.

Q: Why not put a character in there?
A: Well, it's a first-person view, so you're the character!
...for real though, I'd love to find some way to drop a realtime 3D avatar into a 360° video environment - if you know of any software that can do this, I'm all ears :3

Q: Can this be ported to VRChat so I can move around?
A: Not without redoing everything from scratch, sadly - stomachs are very complicated meshes, and the "ideal" way to model them hinges entirely on what you intend to use them for. This one was made specifically for offline animation and would perform horribly in real-time!

Q: How did you do (any detail of the animation)?
A: Ask anything in this thread! I'd love to talk about my process & tips for modeling vore scenes if anyone's interested.

Whoah, super cool idea. Has anyone gotten it to work with google cardboard?\

...Cardboard is much much cheaper but still kinda works.

Awesome stomach model! You make it yourself?

Yep! Dozens of iterations over the last few years led me to this setup, a reaction-diffusion simulation run on the mesh through the Tissue plugin, which controls two Displacement modifiers that give the generated patterns depth (1st displacement) & thickness (2nd displacement).

There's some more work to be done in fine-tuning the simulation parameters, but either way it yields more realistic stomach folds than everything else I've tried, including poly modeling, sculpting, weight painting, noise / cloud / Voronoi texture shaders... and probably more strategies I forgot about.
