Dave, something else that occurred to me after re-reading your original post, the people you would show you're artwork to who said "Well yes its pleasant enough, but how much have you really created, thats just a composition not a creation" do they not consider photography to be an artform as well?? Because I think a lot of what Vue does is closer to photography (in some respects) than sculpture, especially if you have neither the time nor inclination to learn a 3d modeling app (which believe me is not an easy task considering all the options and ways of doing even the simplest of modeling). Just thought I'd throw that one out there as well.
