Should TPA have gone the pre-rendered route, like PP Remastered?

[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 26756, member: 152"] If you're speaking of those two sliders in the upper left, those are filters on top of prerendered graphics. Look carefully at the GI by the slings when they're adjusting the ambient lighting. The nearby table does not change [I]at all[/I] when the ambient lighting on the rest of the table is changed. If it was true dynamic lighting, the table parts illuminated by the GI should brighten/darken slightly when the ambient is changed, but it doesn't (because, of course, it's prerendered). There may be clever ways to give the illusion of dynamic lighting in the finished product, and actually, this tech demo is not bad - I might not have noticed had I not been specifically scrutinizing the lighting. While I am knowledgeable of the basics of rendering (I used to work on image enhancement for digital surveillance systems), the state-of-the-art in this field is admittedly black magic to me.
