*I'm not interested in the definition of art.

*But it's important! Because we are talking about CG art. So what we have is Computer Graphic - the computer and the graphic application can be called the tool, like canvas and brush, clay and knife! No you can go and create a complete scene with all it's content by yourself. Definitly a challenge and definitly skillful but not per se art. I think that we acknowledge about that - although I saw indeed more art amongst those works where everything was made from scratch.

But IMHO it's not the tool that makes the art, it's what you get in the end. I've read the same comment several times: We've seen this 3d-model over and over meanwhile", (now what model may that be...) - and people are right. But that's not what seperates art from trash.

And whatever a group may define as art and allow in it's holy halls is okay - it's their group, they make the rules. But that doesn't mean that they are right.

I wonder if they'd say the same thing if they knew it was Poser.

Hmmmm.... "Paint over the Poser model by hand, post the image again and turn it into art!"??? LOL

...and I think that the initial question is almost answered by all the postings here. What to tell sombody who says "Poser-work isn't art"? "That's one of three different opinions: It is - it isn't - It depends on whether... (insert 1000 more arguments here)!".

 

I'm not always right, but my mistakes are more interesting!
