Is using poser really making art? Options

[Hexis]

Poser is a 3d modeling program... people make stuff on it and call it their "art."
Is it really art to take a 3D model and make it do stuff, then adding lots of other little things in the picture?
One might say that this isn't true art, but others say this is simply an art form.
I think that the "art" in 3D modeling is yourself and your ablitiy to think of a scene and create it anyway possible, even with poser.
Your thoughts and opiouns concerning 3D art?

I would say that it is art.. simply because it is how you present the final product. It is a vision of how that person sees the world/fantasy/etc.

If the argument is that very few of the models are produced by the actual artist, then would you also not consider photography an art? They are not actually making the people or tree or objects within the photograph, but simply catching them in ways to express their ideas.

Then I guess you could also say that painting a picture of a person would also fall into this category. The painting is more just an expression of how the artist views that object/person. The only difference with a 3D model is that the object is actual manipulated in the scene itself.

All that said... Yes, poser does contain certain shortcuts that can allow people to load other peoples work or viewpoints as to a way to quickly produce results. However, since there are an unlimited number of ways that a scene can be viewed rendered
