Wow you sound like me from the 90s. You severely overestimate GPUs and underestimate the human eye.
- slackingoff2017 9y agoI'm not talking about real time though. Pre-recorded light field videos would already be high enough resolution. It might not be perfect but like the CGI nowadays close enough where there's moments you can't tell
- fish_fan 9y agoPerhaps, but realistic scenes are bounded by the number of lights and triangles more than resolution. There are heuristics and approximations to get around this, but I think we will only be able to fake a subset of the human visual experience. Lots of smooth surfaces and simple lighting setups: think car shows and apartment renders, not nature. Realism can be extremely complex!
