mertext - that's why i don't think it's good for me (again, not trying to make choices for others) as an artist to care about someone else's process unless i can learn from it.  i noticed there's a some  of talk among cg artists about getting respect from fine artists.   and references to the same debate between traditional photographers and photoshop jockeys.  and it goes back further to painters and photographers.  it's easy to get wed to a process, and not be open to change that's more efficient and cost-effective because it comes with a new process and a different creative experience.  and a good healthy does of fear that one's own talent and skills that were so prized aren't actually so valuable any more.  fear isn't beneficial to creativity.  nor is jealousy or self-righteousness.
