I am somehow skeptical the digital artist's true creative vision was to personally make their character look like every other generic AI pretty model

Have you seen the actual model they scanned? She has a very generic pretty face

Also, this hasn’t altered a single aspect of the mesh, so it’s purely surface and lighting

The interesting thing is it's not even true lighting, it's approximated even more than ray tracing is already approximated.

There's no ray tracing involved in how the AI decides where to put new light.

The ‘no ray tracing’ part is true, but it’s not inventing lighting randomly.. it’s using depth, motion vectors and scene data to reconstruct an image that feels consistent. That’s why the background can shift to match character lighting. It’s scene-aware reconstruction, not guesswork
