Considering that photorealism is *the* strong point of a raytracer, it's
not likely to be a trend that will disappear soon.

(Then again, as someone who prefers the realistic portrait miniatures of
Nicholas Hilliard and Isaac Oliver over the paint-spatterings of Jackson
Pollack or the pencilled-moustaches-on-lithographs-of-Mona-Lisas of
Marcel Duchamp, I for one hope the photorealistic "trend" of raytracing
continues for a very long time indeed.)  :-)
