But obviously people who don't know the difference between a CG model store and a store selling physical objects aren't going to be looking closely at the lighting and texturing.
Yeah, though it's a good idea to at least check some info on it before buying.
Seems I can't tell some real-world photos from CGI though, but spotted all the CGI.
The ladybugs, frog and beer were real and yet I found them a bit artificial : the ladybugs seemed more like someone applied reflection with a map over them, the frog seemed too simple to be real + white background tricked me, and the beer had too many effects applied to it so I thought it was CGI lol.
What was easy to spot in the city/lake: Distance was blurry, as if intended that there is something there but details are not worth showing. Used in CGI.
Helicopter: too high reflectivity.
Stairs: strange lighting.
Chair: light and color reflection error?
Bathroom: The old "too bright to see outside the window" trick and too strange aspect of it.
Plane: Aside from high reflectivity, shadows aren't right and the motion blur or whatever effect on the propellers isn't convincing enough.
