Here's an example of what I mean:

Check out the photo attached to this post and make a list of how many software packages you'd need to pull it off and make it look as real as that photo does if you were to use 3D software.

You'd need something good at modelling, something good at hair, something good at particles so that you could do the water using fluid dynamics.  You'd also need some kick-ass talent to go along with the amount of money you just spent on software.

Now compare that cost to a sheet of paper, an eraser, and some pencils.

I've never seen a CG figure look as real as the women in that photo, but hang on a minute, that photo isn't even a photo, it's actually a drawing (no kidding).

So now you understand that whenever I come across yet another problem with software, I get more and more drawn to throwing it out of the window completely.  The only interest I have in CG now is for vending, I personally gave-up hope of using it for anything "artistic" long ago.
