    I am an art major. It is quite common practice to project photos onto canvases. This is what artists are taught to do and we had rooms at school to do this. Especially for those pursuing realistic airbrush images.

    Even the old masters didn’t do art freehand.

    Before I close for the night, would be nice if someone could explain to me how rendering models is art ?  

    Same as gluing broken plates onto plywood is, or painting an image onto canvas is, or capturing onto film, a natural landscape the universe created is.

    Art, is mostly that which expresses a vision and captures it in a medium... It conveys some ideas, emotions or what have you, and presents them in some format that other sentient beings (and some rodents and birds) can process in an attempt to experience the same, or by proxy achieve a emotional response that can not be experienced in a similar manner else-wise. 

    Is that a real word... Else-wise?... It feels like something I made up... I've reached the point were I make up so many words I've lost touch with reality.

    If you ask artists, they will tell you "anything" is art... Until something or someone offends them, then that is not art.

    If you ask art critics, they'll say that "art" is what they say "art" is...

    If you ask people in the art business, they will say art can be anything, but real art is what sells for a high price.

    If you ask commercial artists they will say, it's about capturing the client's vision in a manner that is creative and gets the job done so you can move on to the next project.

    If you ask an ordinary person looking at something someone else created, they will only be able to tell you if they enjoy it or not.

    Art is either something fantastic that speaks to one's soul, that transcends ordinary words... Or it's just another humanistic construct vainly scrabbling to achieve something mortal man lacks... In short... "a lot of hooey".

    I prefer to not think much about the criteria as it makes my left eyelid twitch and tends to put me in a bad mood.

    Whoooooooaaaa! I just loved your comment! You've summarized it so well!

    First this:

    "Well, your absolutely correct.  I am to lazy, don't have the knowledge, or don't have enough time to create massive scenes.  Actually, what sparked my intrest in 3D was movie Legends of the gaurdian.  I desired to create similar scenes to movie, but lack the knowledge,skills, finances at the moment.............."

    Then This:

     

    Before I close for the night, would be nice if someone could explain to me how rendering models is art ?  


    I honestly do not understand the OP's actual position on the use of 3D rendering technology for visual commnications & Entertainment.
    at this point.
    On the one hand he was inspired  to get into 3D by "Legends of the Gaurdian." ,a movie full of postworked VFX

    And then requests someones subjective opinion on how the very medium that inspired him has any "artistic" merit.laugh

    We really don't need a debate on the validity of one approach over the other, or whether rendering is "art". In the interest of keeping blood out of the carpet the thread is being locked.
