Why does outdoor GI never look realistic?


I've seen engines produce indoor lighting which is almost indistinguishable from real life, but outdoor lighting always seems underexposed.

We'd have to accurately model all those surfaces outside. Plus you'd need an OLED HDR monitor with super accurate color and a HDR workflow in the engine that isn't just bolted on.
