While many programs are incorporating 3D elements and making it easier for =
the amateur to animate (see PSD CS5), the industry will always require good=
 ARTISTS.  Many a programmer has tried 3Danimation, but this skill (varied/=
myriad/expanding) takes an eye that is non-robotic and intuitive, once the =
(any) software has been mastered.

Scanning has been in-place for a long time (my experience from 1985) as has=
 mocap (remember the Waldo? Its bound to still be around in a further itera=
tion) as has articulated-input and stereo-HU-modeling--- with no real end i=
n sight.

Worst-case scenario: blender is in every grade-schooler's hands--- which wo=
uld only result in better next-gen animators!

FX may be soon more automated at the user level: all graphic programmers li=
ke to BSU!
