Approximations (AI sludge) of approximations (rasterization + lighting) of approximations (computer geometry) lmao

Actually bourgeois mindset, the further abstracted you can become away from real work the better

Wtf is going on? Are capitalists just that far past paying programmers to write fast algorithms instead of copy-and-pasting stock Unreal-Unity render pipelines or have we actually hit some kind of technological limit of scene complexity that they are trying to resolve?

No one wants to do geometry anymore smh

For gaming purposes, we haven't. Games keep increasing their level of polygons and rays and overall computational demand, but we have long ago hit the point at which additional geometry makes games look better to human eyes.

The aesthetics of any modern game will depend 99.9% on the skill of the art team and their ability to cooperate with the game devs.
