No insult to those who produce computer generated art (the term 3D is really inaccurate, since hand drawings also show 3 dimensions through the use of perspective just as computer-generated works do), but I generally prefer traditional drawings. I think for me it's because the CGI are fully-formed, sort of a take-it or leave-it proposition, while the hand drawings depend on your brain to fill in the gaps, allowing a more personal response to the art. Does that make sense?Thank you but don't worry.
I am used to the fact that traditional drawings, especially uncoloured ones, get only a fraction of public interest in comparison to 3-D stuff and actually I don't mind a bit.
If a small group of people likes my little doodles this is quite enough for me.
they're a lot more than just 'doodles' ...If a small group of people likes my little doodles this is quite enough for me.
makes perfect sense for me ... the CGI renderings will for instance sometimes have super-realistic textures for the objects, signaling to my senses "this is real" but then when they fail in any part of it (pose not quite right anatomically, artificial looking face...) then this collapses into "it's just a manikin/puppet" and so the emotional connection gets lost.I think for me it's because the CGI are fully-formed, sort of a take-it or leave-it proposition, while the hand drawings depend on your brain to fill in the gaps, allowing a more personal response to the art.

a conceptual difference is that if someone has set up a scene in a 3D animation program, they can at any time change camera perspectives, distance, and lighting and then let the computer render out the scenes. So for instance if it's a scene with several perspectives -- they can change between "bird's eye" perspective, first person view of a protagonist, view from onlookers, etc. and if the scene is well-posed all they have to do is start the render after selecting the camera angle. Because all elements exist as a 3D representation in the scene. In a hand drawing, changing perspective from say executioner to victim means starting from scratch.(the term 3D is really inaccurate, since hand drawings also show 3 dimensions through the use of perspective just as computer-generated works do)
It does to me.Does that make sense?
This is sometimes called as the "Uncanny Valley" effect, as you probably know. A popular approach to deal with the problem is to use a stylized graphics rather than a realistic one, as you can see from the art style in such movies like Frozen, or in many video games.makes perfect sense for me ... the CGI renderings will for instance sometimes have super-realistic textures for the objects, signaling to my senses "this is real" but then when they fail in any part of it (pose not quite right anatomically, artificial looking face...) then this collapses into "it's just a manikin/puppet" and so the emotional connection gets lost.
Yes I know that term, and in general far beyond the question of 3D rendering...This is sometimes called as the "Uncanny Valley" effect, as you probably know.

I wasn't trying to make the argument '3D renderings cannot ever be art'But that doesn't mean the medium itself has inherent flaws that prevents even a talented artist to produce a stunning piece of art.
haha I've figured out 'Victoria' is the one who has skin that looks like cardboardthe old Victoria/Michael models
I just now had a little conversation with dear chinadoll and well ... there are those girls that bring about the best or the worst in a man.
At least this is what came to my mind:

I mainly agree with this. However, it's often the case that many apparently 2D looking artworks or animations have been created using a 3D software nowadays. There can be multiple ways to achieve that, but here's probably one of the more interesting ways to mix drawing and 3D rendering:It's true, there is some computer art now which can be hard to pic as artificial, the combination of technology and skill is really almost frightening. Such work threatens photography, not drawings.
You are one whether you consider yourself one or not But don’t let that (or anything else) spoil your fun.I'm sure you are right.
But since I don't consider myself an artist, I just can go on having fun ))
