I know that many here are power users, with high end machines and thousands of system tweaks. 

Having an expensive PC and then applying a bunch of (mostly) voodoo fixes that do more harm than good or are simply placebos doesn't make you a power user, IMHO.

The customer is always right, didn't you know that?  You made Guinness fly out of my nose. 😂

Young whippersnapper here, 57.  Interesting video, I'm not entirely sure the results are that great, all of them seem overly desaturated which is a common problem with pixel crunching mathematics using base references.  There is also the limit of when the source matching images where taken, atmospheric conditions will impact how any object looks.  Camera type, settings, etc.

Some users don't want a realistic world, there are plenty of flights I've done where the haze is just horrible and the planet below is one giant sized white layer of haze.   Moderate haze (warning large image size): 

 

Low haze:

Time of day also has impact on how any object looks:

Their sources are snapshots in time, just as my images above.  It's certainly an interesting process but I'm not sold ... I still believe the ray tracing and procedural generation of textures NOT based on real world images produces better result.

Thanks for sharing the video, was a good watch.

Cheers, Rob.

 

hehe... I just happen to know where that moderate haze photo is taken from.  My office window is in that pic.
