Some people express the view that if you didnt model it, texture it, pose and light it then its not ART.
I sometimes wonder who wrote the shaders they use, and did they build the pc, write the operating system and software etc etc..

I dont call myself an artist, but I suppose that a person who arranges stuff, lights it and makes a picture is actually creating art ( or maybe porn but lets not go there  :) ) I think artist as more the person who can make a picture on a piece of paper with pencils or paint , and I dont do that :(
