After I ran realistic rendering tech demo on my computer my brother who uses 3d max was just stunned he didn't believe that is actually a real time rendering on GPU and he asked me why can't we use this to make interior designs?
To achieve the quality of realistic rendering tech demo on 3d max usually it take over one day to render and the result is one fixed image and usually with lower quality than the demo. So why can't next generation game engines replaces applications like 3d max ?
 
Solution


a game engine knows what to do when a player provides input, because it's all predesigned in the engine

with realtime 3D redering, you are creating a brand new asset that the software has to physically render from scratch without any knowledge of it before

the difference is that professional rendering programs render in realtime, which requires a lot of complex calculations and processing power.

Game engines are basically a framework of predefined variables that dont change
