On a nice day the render actually looks close to the real thing!

Then I thought what would it make from an already dark and grim scene, like HL2 Ravenholm

but nothing really? Just made the whole thing a different color scheme + changed some architecture
Hah, like connected cars talking to each other, the AR goggles/lenses will talk to each other so each person can broadcast a unified beautifed version of their face to others.
Maybe the Grok AR goggles will have Grok features...
He had a website, and the sample pic is a girl lying on her back, and in the "after" picture she's wearing a bigger cup-size..
Is there some weird force dropping electrical enclosures on bridges (the cables on top even?) and random places in the street.
Those random protruding manholes next to two other drainage gates nowhere near a slope?
Why are these even the examples.
This is just like turning the HDR tone mapping up to 200%
Also, the model goes a bit overboard with the electrical appliances. I had to laugh at the bridge one.
Apart from that, it's a great idea!

I've been thinking of something like this for decades, as I mentally compared the utopian displays at construction sites to the existing buildings next to them. Like "wow you fancy new building is going to be so perfectly white and clean, but what will it look like after 10 years exposed to the elements and no cleaning, like the one next door?"
New construction is sold on a blue-sky promise. How does it really look like a decade down the road? All construction has a decades- if not centuries-long lifespan. It's worth thinking about them long-term.
I absolutely love the streak of rust coming off the saddle of arches on the bridge example. That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Even so, I think North American cities are on average uglier than most Polish ones.
Overall we're not doing that bad but I want the memes to continue lest we get Prague or Amsterdam level tourist invasion.

There's nothing more depressing than walking by beautiful historic old buildings only to turn a corner and see a monstrosity of concrete and glass somehow reaching the epitome of bland and uninviting.
