" 3D renders are as much art as is Photography. Photographers don't make people, sew the clothes, build the props, or make up the models either, but they are still considered artists."

Yes, but the things you just mentioned are exactly why photography itself had struggled for centuries for validity as an artform. To many people, especially in the late 19th/early 20th century, photography was regarded as little more than a reproductive medium, and the photographers were considered more along the lines of technicians.

Poser seems to be viewed in the same light that Photography had been for many years, which isn't really unusual. So maybe 100 years from now, Poser will get the same type of respect in it's medium? ;-) Message edited on: 01/12/2006 08:01
