People will always find a way to challenge themselves. Now that rendering technology has reached a certain level of realism, NPR (non-photo-realistic) rendering techniques are quickly becoming a much sought-after commodity in the 3D community (not just the Poser community, but all of 3D). If hyper-realistic rendering reaches a point where it is virtually indistinguishable from reality at the click of a button (the technology isn't quite there yet, but it's getting closer), then many artists will eventually get bored with it, and seek out some new technique to challenge their skills.
