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?

Would you consider this as art? I made it using an extremely easy to use program called Terragen.

Just been wondering, 'cause I've got more where that came from. Should I post them in Fan Art section?

By all means do it, the pic is beautiful.
Art is a final product and beauty lies in the mind of observer. Heck, every single computer program, whether it be for 2d pictures or 3d modeling, is a tool of some sort, helping us to extract our own creativity. If it wasn't so, how could anyone in their right minds even concider those simple geometric things I call 'swords' being beautiful ? I am puzzled and perplexed. And also I feel warm when someone says they'll rip my PC in half if I don't draw more
Autocad is a 2d & 3d drawing and modeling program for engineers. Its primary use is to draw mechanical or architectural blueprints, schemes and models. BUt someone made a MiG-29 model using it. Someone else made entire structures and buildings with it. And one completely illiterate computer dumbass uses it to create models of swords and battlecruisers in it, because he's too dumb and too poor for 3DS Max but hey, he likes it that way, he really does...
