I was a paid wedding photographer in the 1990s, and I used a Rolleiflex TLR with 120 Roll film. I recently attended a friend's wedding, and took with me a Fuji GFX100 series camera, effortlessly shooting pictures I could never have taken with a Rollei from terrible angles at like 5x the resolution with far, far more dynamic range than 120 film ever had.

30 years after I gave up the Rollei, I'm not obsolete as a photographer, and when there's a quality diffusion model that could take a few of my photos from the event at 100 megapixels, and get prompted by me as to what I want to see out of them creatively, I will still not be obsolete, even as a photographer, but most certainly not obsolete as an artist. In fact, I'll have more tools available for my art, with new skills needed, and different workflows.

As to abandoning 3D art -- your call. If you love it, why not see how these new tools open up your art? If you don't love some of the new tools, no problem, don't use them. I still shoot medium format film some times. If you were planning on a long term creative career without staying on top of technical advances in your field, that has not been possible for at least a few centuries.
