Fuck meme tracing, fuck lens simulation, fuck all of them. Fuck shaders. During the days of Fixed Function pipeline, everybody got the same graphics tech stack. Artists were in control and they use creativity to stand out from the rest of competition. Lens flare? Just a texture. Haze/Fog/Dirt? Just a texture. God Rays? Just a texture. Water? Just a texture. You don't need anything else, fuck the tech guys. They only care about financial growth. You don't need anything more than the ability of crunching polygons. We had everything even in the PS2 era. Why put up with cheap hacks when you can render the world twice to obtain reflection? Why imitate reality when you can create worlds that far surpasses whatever shit you have seen in real life?
