Did you really create a 3d model if you didn’t hand type all of the vertex coordinates? Anything less is cheating by using cheating tools and isn’t art. Oh you had to use a deform tool? Pathetic. Can’t calculate your own circle approximations at various details? Good. If you can’t do it, it shouldn’t happen.
It's all the same gate keeping bullshit of people who are afraid of losing their edge to the average person. It's been played out over and over again every single time there is an innovation that lowers the barrier to entry to a field. Adapt or perish. It's never been any different.
