The other year they published an article here titled How CGI Is Circumventing Porn's Condom Law. It writes in part:

In the year since Los Angeles County passed a law requiring all adult-film actors use condoms on film, the so-called Porn Valley has emptied out, as directors leave for less-green pastures like Vegas and Miami... But there?s an alternative to packing up and moving: simply digitizing the flesh back on. Gay porn company Falcon Studios is using CGI to re-create the bareback experience while its actors are fully strapped on... It?s unclear how much phallic CGI costs...

Of course, it's also at least possible that porn producers might agree with performers that they will fib about using condoms so that they can split the savings realized by not having to use CGI in post-production.

But as I pointed out in a previous posting on this site, the music video Pu$$y by Rammstein digitally added the genitalia of porn actor stunt-c@cks to the bodies of the band's members.

To date, while there are countless fully-animated (including 3D) cartoon pornos, especially Japanese anime, the use of special effects (FX) in live-action porn seems to be rather limited. (The most prominent counter-example of which I know is the 2005 film titled Pirates XXX.)

All this led me to remember that early last year, in the post here, I encouraged you to experiment with Chroma Key compositing so that your videos might be set in all sorts of interesting venues to which it would otherwise prove too inconvenient, expensive, or even impossible to mobilize.

Now that you are an engineering major, is the idea of doing something like this more likely to happen in the year to come? You mentioned that Rob FTV is working on a video game, which means he has a game engine at his disposal. Such engines have been used to provide simply choreographed theatrical animations, a technique called machinima. With Chroma Key footage of you, it would prove not that hard to composite your footage with such synthesized animations!

I'm confused...is this a question?
