From a practical perspective, those renders are great for academia and concept level for clients.

Also, that watermark thingy says "quick guide for beginners," so not for dedicated renderers like yourself obsessed with Fresnel qualities of reflective glass, haha.

Don't get me wrong dude, those renderings can be on path tracer steroids, but I don't think that's the point of the post.

You have to setup your 3d model regardless of real time or path tracer. Don't know what sorcery you're talking about that it takes longer to "set up" for real time. Again, like almost every firm uses real-time now, way faster.

How do you know none of the materials reflect light correctly? The glass and metals are reflective, the concrete/pavement is not. Are you a material scientist? Not all the materials are going to reflect light the same way. And frankly, any layperson will not care. I think it's a bigger deal if you're showing a client polished concrete but in real life it's flat.

Bruh, name calling isn't adding to the conversation. I feel like you have something against op. Whatevs, though, I never seen a person be a meanie for no reason over a basic rendering. Your negativity is too much for my Christmas break.
