...some 'artists'...

 

Glad that's not me, never been an 'artist', I'm a tech who does this just for fun...

 

Still, 3D Problems, 3D Solutions, 3D Images...

If I wanted to do 2D images, I'd have gone to art school and learned to paint instead of ruining my eyes peering at monitors late at night after multi hour renders, LOL

There is also a lot of snobbery from people who don't think an image is worthwhile unless it's been subjected to a couple of days of gratuitous layer abuse in their overpriced copy of Adumby PhotoSnob CS. And there are the 'render it like this, it will look crap but you can fixit in postwork' brigade who cheerfully give out technically inncorect advice in answer to 'how do I' posts from newbs, then scream at anyone who DARES to post an actual 3D solution...
