Quote - I'll file "pushbutton art" in the same category as artificial intelligence, virtual reality and quantum computers until when and if it actually arrives. Even then, it will probably be similar to pushbutton photography, though far more difficult since a photographer doesn't actually have to build a world. Not everyone with a camera is a photographer after all, and not every Poser user is an artist.
shrug Nor does every Poser user claim to be an artist -- any more than everyone who owns a camera claims to be a professional photographer.
As for "pushbutton art" -- as I've already subtly hinted at above: many traditional media artists consider anything done on a PC to already fall into the category of "pushbutton art".......and therefore, by definition, unworthy of the label of Art (with a capital "A"). Even if it was produced in Maya.
