Shout Out to all of Them CGI Artist

I was just wondering if CGI (computer Graphics Imagery) will not replace actors one day, with level of technology and artist of different fields becoming good at their Skills and actions it will surely come to a day where we fire actors and replace them with CG in commercials and feature films and i know this might sound weird but it is the case here. The latest Softwares including AUTODESK innovations and investment in packages like Autodesk maya, autodesk 3ds max and Autodesk Motion builder proves to be at the cutting edge of technology and other highly respected vendors like SoftImage,Maxon,luxology,Pixologic many more who are the creators of XSI,Cinema 4d, Modo and Zbrush respectively where also at Siggaraph to showcase the next trend in technology and all pointing to one direction "character enhancement,rendering and modeling improvements". this vendors released their latest version of the software they market after their promise in siggaraph and all have seen great improvement with some completely re-written from scratch from ground up. I will be posting the latest reviews from top professionals in the industry soon and i will like to admit that CGI is getting very good even if it doesn`t replace real actors (...i know when i mentioned replacement of actors, many of you where thinking of how bad the statement was but hey its just the way CGI is advancing and fast pacing through the film industry).
