I still don't agree with you pierrecolat. Have you never carefully looked around? Does every book, print, title use a unique font developed by the creator of the work? Almost none. Do you think that all musicians write and play their own music? You've got to be kidding (23 years guitar playing experience here). CLICHE_ALERT: Photographers use nothing original. The camera, lens, and film/storage are built, the lighting is usually provided (esp. natural), the scene already exists or IS ASSEMBLED FROM EXISTING ITEMS!!! Yet, photography is still art. The thing oft missed here is that this is not clay, stone, paint, or whatever. This is DIGITAL medium. With the advent of digital media came something completely new: reuseability of exact copies. No longer would one have to create each and every 3D sculpture, cast, etc. individually. You can now use as many as you like - and someone else can have an exact copy to use as they like. And, sheesh, I'd hate to have to model a Ford Mustang from scratch just because I needed it to zoom across my animation for 5 seconds - esp. since there are hundreds of them available for purchase and use. No, you still don't get it. BTW, not all 3D CG work is just for "aaaaaaaaaart". Most of it is for "buuuuuuuuusiness", where time is critical, expenses low, and impact must be high. If I had to be your type of creative, I'd need to change occupations.
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
