This grass is from Skyrim. Yeah, Skyrim. Ok, it has a grass mod applied but
still, Skyrim...

Yeah, but what does it look like in motion? ;-)
It's easy enough to set up something that looks amazing from one angle,
but then when you walk around it, you realise it's all flat billboards...

The grasses in some games look amazing, like in Far Cry 4, but when you
see it close it is just ugly.
When a game will have a ray-tracing display, then we will think to give up.

From what I've heard, a slide show. That's probably an exaggeration though.

Presumably a slightly faster slideshow than POV could manage though :-)

Sure. But at what accuracy?
PS. This discussion used to happen on the POV-Ray servers roughly once
per month at one time... ;-)

I don't know. Just because something is ray-traced doesn't automatically
make it look amazing. I remember somebody managed to build a FPGA that
does real-time ray-tracing. They ported the Quake 4 (?) engine to run on
it. The screen-shots looked... rubbish. Because it's ray-tracing flat
polygons with bilinear textures and no bump-maps.
*We* think of ray-tracing as the ultimate in realism more because we're
rendering implicit surfaces and area lights and diffuse
inter-reflections. If you take a regular game engine (which ONLY renders
flat polygons) and ray-trace that... it doesn't actually look much
different, TBH.
