It depends on your attitude whether you regard this as a threat or an opportunity. For me my landscape work is as much about being out there and at one with nature as it is about producing good images. I would welcome software like Blender in that it would probably add to the enjoyment of post processing. However, I would feel sorry for someone who only experiences the computer generation side of imaging and isn't exposed to the real thing. As far as the resulting image is concerned, how he got there is irrelevant - if its a good image its a good image.
By the way - in 2006 I attended a lecture where we were shown and discussed an image of a nubile young maiden cavorting in the surf - all computer generated. That was far more impressive than these nuts!

Interesting article about using software to create "photographs" for advertising and other uses. I am sure that many of the advertisements I have seen in the last few years were made this way.
As a photographer, if the connection to reality is irrelevant to your work—like it is in a lot of advertising, product, and even landscape photography—there is a good chance that a sixteen-year-old in Bangladesh will be able to produce marketable imagery for a fraction of the cost. And he won't need a 40-megapixel Hasselblad or studio full of lights. But if you traffic in non-fiction photography, if your work capitalizes on photography's one distinguishing feature, then a rendering will never replace your work.

I have passed this model of a self-intersecting Mobius band off as a photograph.

Well, I don't care how you did it, but that is one fascinating image.
