Perfection is an unachievable goal, and for those that cant come to terms with that, it can drive the pursuer mad. That was the case for C.L.U. (Codified Likeness Utility) in the film TRON Legacy. CLU chased after the idea that he could create the perfect system, however with out reaching perfection, CLU could never find happiness. He could never be satisfied with his accomplishments because that was the mind set of his creator when he was cloned.
For me, I have an idea of what i consider perfect but I can understand when I should stop the "drive" towards it. Constantly in my major we are pushed to strive for creating a perfect render, model, or overall project. Which in many ways I feel that we do. However in many cases I have personally as well as seen my piers push something to far and ruin it. You can loose what makes you an individual by striving to be perfect. I like to leave parts of my render in just the raw line work drawing just to show how dramatic of a change took place, while also showing that it is in fact a render, and not a photograph.
In striving for this idea of perfection, we can loose what makes us an individual.
