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?

Yes, Poser is art.

You know those artists that use trash to make art? Well, they did not create the trash themselves but still it's their art. Or people creating art by gluing together chairs or something similar, well, they didn't make the chairs, but still it's their art.

However, I do agree that by just doubleclicking the premade, fully clothed, ready posed models and maybe adjusting the light a bit would not be appropriate to be called their art. It is art however, but then it's like taking a bunch of paintings made by other artists and put them on a wall calling the wall your art. It's not your art but their art on your wall.

Making a beautiful render or animation in poser is not easy. Sure, you can move the dolls limbs in a most natural way, but actually putting together a realistic pose, adding realistic self-made hair, creating a scenery and making realistic and beautiful light positions IS art. And it's damn hard to do.
