curl-6 said: I personally don't feel that photorealism is inherently boring. Reality is photorealistic, yet there are many places in the world that look stunningly beautiful. Live action films looks photorealistic, yet they still give awards for best art direction. Photorealism can be gorgeous; it's all about how you implement it. |
I don't find photorealism to be inherently boring in games, I just personally tend to find it boring, especially if it's just photorealism that is without any artistic augmentation. Tree with photogrammetry 8K texture does nothing for me, but there are people impressed with such things, and that's ok.
Yes, there are probably infinite amount of places in the world that look stunningly beautiful - yet I personally find best cinematography is usually one that is made in a way that clearly stands beyond that reality.
