Topic: Remove implication for sculpture_(artwork)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #5729 is pending approval.

remove implication sculpture_(artwork) (212) -> traditional_media_(artwork) (68573)

Reason: Some sculptures are made in 3d computer programs and not traditionally, thus shouldn't be tagged as traditional media despite being sculptures.
Otherwise it results in situations like post #4233737, where a clearly digital image as "traditional" when it's clearly not. There is no (to my knowledge) any sort of other tag for digital sculptures like for digital paintings.

I would argue these are not sculptures in the sense we are thinking. I would call these models.

We already have painting_(artwork) and digital_painting_(artwork) - I was going to suggest mirroring this existing layout but it seems like the painting_(artwork) tag has a lot of mistags already so I'm not sure it sets a good example.

Is it really viable to be able to tell which models have been made the "normal" way and which have been 3D sculpted, though? I don't have much interest in 3D content, but it looks to me like a well-made 3D sculpt is almost indistinguishable from a normal model.

This seems to be a better quality image replacement of an older post, given the comments.

Is tagged 3d_(artwork). Is it a figurine, or a 3D model made to look like one? There are realistic 3D model renders made to look like figurines, perhaps the approvers thought they were 3D instead of statues..

I'm like 99.9% certain that these are statuette mockup renders, looking at the other posts of the same artist's work they're all similar high-detail renders with one that's very obviously not a photograph, judging by the lava particles that are giving off light.
