Well yes I know, but you see I couldn't really say...

Len (Awaiting a BLOWING from lordstormdragon), now could I?

My god, this thread's gone downhill hasn't it ;-) Personally, I blame Rayraz and his "hooker" analogy :-))

But anyway, yes I agree what you're getting at regards people who dis' others when they claim that something else did all the work. That really get's to me as well.

Take Rochr for example (hope you don't mind). Some idiot might look at his work and say, hey that's cool! But the renderer produced the picture - not you, so no you're not an artist.

On the other hand, when "I" look at his work I kinda split it up and think...

The "art" of lighting
The "art" of modeling
The "art" of postwork
The "art" of composition

...all rolled into one! Now THAT'S "art" to me!

Which brings us back to the other point. It's just the beholders opinion - and it matters only to the beholder.
