That's right- unless you use a pencil, charcoal, or oil paints, your creation is not artwork. I mean, really, you didn't create those mountains- you just took out your camera and took a picture. And you didn't paint that sunset yourself- you just took a picture of it. Sounds kind of absurd, doesn't it? I'm sure photographers heard these sames things when photography started to become a true art form. Poser, like Lightwave and 3D Studio Max is a TOOL to create an image. Whether the quality of an image rates it as "artwork" can be debated, but no one can dismiss an image because of the tools that were used. Or do these same people discard sculptures because they aren't paintings? Or are all pencil drawings bad because the artist didn't use oil paint? --John
