I didn't say that CG graphics weren't beautiful. But no matter how beautiful they may be, I still don't see them as true art.
OK, you woke me up
DAVID, THEM'S FIGHTING WORDS!!!
That's like saying writers don't really write "true works", or musicians don't create "true music", or engineers don't solve "true problems", or anyone for that matter, if they use a computer.
CGI or CG graphics or whatever you want to call them, are simply bigger, more powerful paintbrushes. The hardware and software certainly helps take the mondane out of it and lets one focus on the creative.
But the artist still has to create the work. There is much painting, sculpting, composing and animating (I suppose that's not art, either?).
There is no "create graphics" button on the keyboard that one magically presses. No, instead, this CGI software is incredibly complex and takes years to master.
Why are some CGI characters, environments, and graphic arts appealing and fun to watch while others suck wind????
The artist and his art. Plain and simple.
I guess you can tell that I am an artist by profession, and you pushed a button, there, dude!

Here in Louisiana, its 102 degrees, wind variable at 2mph - each day for the last month has been an exact clone. I may hook up with my H20 skipper after work today and get that sailing fix since it is only supposed to be a high of 93 degrees (which is somewhat tolerable). I'm doing a wind dance right now.
