conq writes "BusinessWeek has an interview with the heads of George Lucas' gaming and movie divisions, and discusses with them how they are getting closer and closer to integration. From the article: 'Pre-visualization, which is a big thing that George has been pushing lately. It's a tool that directors would use to quickly mock up the ideas of a story and see what's going to work. It's really like building up a preview of a movie in a video game world. Instead of using static story boards, you can really just get in and create 3D content and camera moves directly. It's the best example of the kind of collaboration we've got going on.'"

He did'n said that visualization is not useful. It can be, but it's still just a tool.

Get a machine that builds a stone sculpture of any (reasonably stable) 3D model. Give it to an average guy that can use a CAD program, and ask him to make artistic scultures with these advanced tools. Now commpare the results with the works of an artist.
