I've had people at Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention artshows go on and on how 3D rendered work is not art and how awful and low quality it is and then spend an equal amount of time telling me how much they like my art (which is all done in Poser 4 and Photoshop.) And when I tell them tghhat they tend to do a lot of really fast back-pedalling. ;-) Most of them simply have no concept of either what the programs can do/can not do or how much work it is to learn to use properly - they think there is a "make art" button in the program.
