Not only am I extremely impressed with the current realism they were able to accomplish, I suspect that others will figure out what it is about the final result and that will feed back in to even further realism in games (just like the breakthrough of subsurface scattering in digital skin). As well, I’m very excited for the scrappy devs who will turn this technique in to something wildly unexpected.
