There was a rather silly 1976 thriller “Raise the Titanic!” predating it’s actual discovery by about 10 years. They made a movie from it too in 1980. Based on a premise that there was something valuable the government wanted on board)
Imagine you are remaking Raise The Titanic.
The original film had a very renowned detailed model 15m long and weighing 10 tons. It was quipped that it would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic.
Now imagine in your remake you choose to raise a virtual photo-realistic Titanic. Your artists and critics are not going to complain that it is too realistic.
Realistic rendering is strived for even when the scene being rendered is conjured up by artists.
