Well, you have to look at it this way, is it your painting if you bought the brushes instead of cutting the hairs from a camel, bought a canvas instead of stretching the canvas and then prepping it, or buying your oils instead of digging up the various components to make your oils? These are simply tools of the trade. Now, so some people purchase various "tools" for 3d art, i.e. characters (vicky), props and textures. Is it art if all someone does is stick these pieces together and then press render? What about the decisions as to what "tools" to use to develope the scene? The Point of View and what lighting to use? I've seen pieces of "ART" here at renderosity that I personally feel is a waste of pixels. I've also seen oil paintings with a big red dot painted in the center sell for $$$$$ as "ART". What I find funny are how some people here are "Traditionalist" about post work. To each their own.
