I think there is room for both, and of course, people who like either or both. I think realism is great. We have the Millennium characters, V3, and amazing textures which bring us close to very realistic looking characters. But, I love the cartoon/caricature style of 3D, as well. Personally, I think 3D is in its element when used to create unrealistic creatures, places, etc. Though, I see the uses for realistic 3D, we already have film and photography for very good realism. :) Beth
