I guess this would be to say that the 'animators' in Finding Nemo, Shrek, and Final Fantasy are Not Artists...after all, they all didn't model the characters that they animated, the modelers did....right? I like the way Mec4D put it, and I agree that as soo as you touch it with a 2D app then it becomes '2D art' and no longer 100% '3D art'. The "two classifications" sounds like the strongest argument to me....IMO ...but then I'm just a techie who 'plays with computer dolls'
