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?

Truly beautiful and magnificent landscape creation, The Wolf! I love it ... you howl to my soul. Sunset is my favorite time of day, in fact ... when I walk out of my front door to go to work in the evening shift ... the sunset is right outside my front door.

I think your Terragen work definitely belongs here in FanArt ... please share more. How about some of the stirring moonlight scenarios that you wolves so love to sing sonnato's too??

As for the question of whether Poser is indeed Art or Not = let me just clear it up by saying that all artschools and university art programs have Photography departments - Art created with the aide of a manmade device - so, I would definitely judge that Poser art is True Art. It still takes alot of skill to work the program, to have the eye for detail, color arrangements, spacial placement, juxaposition of objects, overall design talent. So, don't sell yourselves all short - just because you can't do it from scratch with a paper & pencil doesn't mean you don't have art in your soul & if Poser is the way you express it - SoBeIt.

I would love to see more Poser Art from people. It is even more enlightening and astounding to see totally fresh art from someone new than from art=educated artists. I think so. Perhaps Geonox would agree with me - new insights are often almost ethereal in their freshness.
