I do have to take issue with your it's not art statement primorge, my first post was talking about the skill involved in the modelling aspect, but put it all together, modelling, texturing, rendering, if it isn't cg art, then i don't know what it is, is a virtuoso of a synthesizer any less of an artist than the player of the grand piano?,

the OED defines "art" and yes i know i'm getting into a whole quagmire here, as

1 [mass noun] the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power:

the key words imho are "primarily", not excluding other emotions

and "typically" , other forms are described as art too

 the community of renderosity lists xxxx number of "artists" online, are there no artists here? or are they only those that follow a mainline form of expression,

my opinion is, if it inspires you then it can't be a bad thing. What do you classify as Art and if you don't mind me asking, why in your opinion should this not be considered as such..........
