Well.... I agree with Gabe 100% & want to add this : If 3d art isn't real art... then why the hell are the Video Game companies like Raven, ID Software, Infrogrames, etc, paying there Character & scene renders more money than most stock brokers make ?? Why do those Company Execs own Leer jets & travel more than they are in the office ?? Own 10 million dollar homes ?? Evidently... they are doing something right. Art is about creativity... & utilizing EVERYTHING @ your disposal... IMO. Am I an artist ?? Yes Can I paint on Canvas ?? errr Not a chance My opinion. Thomas
