I’d say in the end, it’s CGI it’s all fake anyways, if it looks good and cool you’re ok. I remember one time Bartek Skorupa gave a demonstration on how to make a gold material in Blender, with all the scientific real world values for IOR and fresnel and it was a crazy amount of nodes and math. He rendered it and it looked amazing, real gold practically. Then he said now look at this, this is a standard gold material, normal fake CGI, nothing to it, he rendered it and it looked 99.999% exactly alike. He was like see? there’s no need to go crazy, when it looks good it’s good enough.
