a lot of 3d work can be as much determined by stylistic choices and level of artist talent.. frostbyte is likely able to replicate quite a wide range oh physical phenomena and photographic artefacts much like GTA5 but it also heavily depends on the tiny tweaks made to the particular methods used and the assets fed into it to make it truely "photo realistic" honestly these days I'd much rather play a game with good style and direction rather than perfectly repicating reality. it's impressive and will continue to get better for a while, but I like my art a little less like a photo :) (I'm a 3d artist myself, and have to deal with the tradeoff between quality and time on a daily basis)
