When I viewed Figure 5 [link] at full resolution, the pine tree bark felt to me like a poorly-done bump-mapping tech demo. I think it lacks sharp contrast between the raised and recessed regions (instead having a gradient), and I think the outline/silhouette of the branches are perfectly smooth and unaffected by the bark, and too uniform and slender to look like real trees.

- pier25 5y agoYeah, some images look very fake, which is why I wrote that only some looked incredibly real. The one you linked looks great to me. Some parts are more convincing than others, but in general I almost feel as if I could touch those trees. Although I admit I don't have a trained eye to see the rendering tricks used.
