Raymations has moved their Adult section to Zindra, and so I had the opportunity to chat with the delectable mastermind behind the company Owain Raymaker, Oh and by the way when you get to the last paragraph of the interview and feel yourself turning green, dont blame me I did too.

Owain Raymaker: Hi there Suede.

Suede Sixpence: okay .. Owain. so I can ask you some questions and you can chat.. and we can mix the two, is that okay

Owain Raymaker: Fire away

Suede Sixpence: so you decided to move your x-rated animations to Zindra.. was that a difficult decision

Owain Raymaker: Let me fill you in with some history...

I work closely with Sylva Petrov - we have a Pro Builder group together...

We knew that the adult rating was going to be an issue, so she offered me some land. I relocated but found that people found it difficult to tp into the sim once the adult status had been set up.

Suede Sixpence: Yes, there are quite a lot of problems like that

Owain Raymaker: So I decided to split the products - PG and Adult.

So far the PG traffic has almost doubled.

Suede Sixpence : and how about here in your Adult section.. is business holding up Owain Raymaker: Sylva offered this area for my adult sets - so I will back to full capacity in a day or two. Just setting it up - but I am sure it will be very lucrative.

Suede Sixpence: grins..sex always sells, okay so of course I know you do that 6 minute sex animation, is there any particular one you really like

Owain Raymaker: Yeah - It's where I started - back in Jan 2007 :-) The Lovers has been a great seller, but I think 'The Kiss' as an intense, passionate couple animation is one of my favourite. I would like to develop that into a love scene in the near future.

Suede Sixpence: Now for the cheeky questions.. laughs.. so you watching a ton of porn for your ideas.. or you just pulling from your own experiences?

Owain Raymaker: hahahahaha, winks Well....

Owain Raymaker: I do have a particular site I use.

Suede Sixpence: smiles.. purely professional..of course

Owain Raymaker: http://www.sexinfo101.com

Owain Raymaker: It has animated examples of all the popular sex positions. I've been working my way through them ;-). But you can't go wrong with cliphunter for finding some steamy RL routines.

Suede Sixpence: are you using poser to help you animate or is another program your choice

Owain Raymaker: I use Poser 7 Pro, but I have also started to use a new mocap program for developing new dances and AOs. I have invested a lot into the mocap system - so I intend to make it work. Most of the equipment I have used has been from my RL profession.

Suede Sixpence: is there any concerns you have moving to Zindra.. or are you optimistic

Owain Raymaker: Once people understand about altering their prefs to get in, I am sure things will get back to normal. Can I just say that even though we are competition, there are a number of use creators that work closely together.

Sylva Petrov, Nandana Singh and Toothfairy Tizzy have been great colleagues to work with. As well as my fab staff :-) Craig Altman and Strokers are the more well known names, but these guys are moving and shaking SL.

Owain Raymaker: My main sim has the store with 2 floors and a grunge club situated next to it.

Suede Sixpence: yes I and I know you also do a raffle picks rewards type thingy.. with a 1000 linden prize and also you have amob vendor right

Owain Raymaker: Yeah - every week - MobVend is fab! I have near crashed the sim with some products in it! Really was a flash mob.

Suede Sixpence: I have been over a couple of times.. your store is always busy

Owain Raymaker: Was up to 120 unique visitors a day, before going adult.

Will pick up again.

Suede Sixpence: you must be reading my mind..I was just gonna ask you that, what percentage of people buy a product from you

Owain Raymaker: smiles….. Ummm....Good point, Probably made around $10000 usd last year.

Suede Sixpence: 10 thousand bucks, real money ,shit!!!!!!!!

Owain Raymaker: But its still a hobby - that I would like to move into my main source of income.

Suede Sixpence: where do you live again..laughs

Owain Raymaker: hahahaha

Owain Raymaker: All gone back into the business :-)

Suede Sixpence: joking aside.. nice return
