His answer was as follow ... "Once technology starts to drive you instead of you driving the technology to create something, something is not right. At least thats the way I am looking at it now. These programs are tools, tools like a pen or an airbrush, or your hands with a piece of clay, scissors glue and some carton. Now with todays technologies the tools can become too automated, like just looking at the ammount of plugins these days. So ask yourself the questions, are you gonna hit Auto Generate and have this plugin to create a 160 store high abstract skyscraper and you call it your creation or, are you going to model that from scratch with what you have in your mind or drawn out on paper. The latter is what I call real creation of an artist. 3DS Max (or any other 3D App), Photoshop, After Effects allow you to visually create anything, with the only limitation being your own mind."
