Can 3D printers and photography replace traditional painting art?

I think 3D printing technology can't compare the influence of photography on traditional painting, but should compare the influence of computer drawing on traditional painting. Because for photography, it already has the irreplaceable function of traditional painting. But computer painting has not developed anything that traditional painting can't do. So is 3D printing.

This question is the ultimate question that many painters are thinking about, and there is a great debate at present.

Some people think that traditional painting is just an art form of depicting people and colors on paper or canvas. Using camera technology can restore its color and graphics, while using 3D printing technology can not only restore its color and graphics, but also restore its texture and bumps, even the brushstrokes of oil paintings and the fingerprints of sculptures. One day, new technology will replace old technology, and traditional painting will gradually die out. At present, there are fewer and fewer traditional paintings in the International Biennale, and various new art forms such as comprehensive art installation art occupy a vanguard position.

Some people think that the value of paintings lies in originality and uniqueness, and the painting effect of paper paintings mixed with water on paper is random and cannot be copied. Photography and 3d technology can only be copied but not created. Only as an accessory of art, no matter how the new art form develops, the history of traditional painting for thousands of years must have its place.

I think both views are reasonable.
