What is missing from todays game/movie graphics to look like real life?

351 views

I am wondering for a few years now. CGI and game graphics are getting better and better every year, but it’s still not good enough to make it look completely real! Wiy is that? What is missing for my eye to believe that it’s real life?
Even wirh motion capture and whatnot it’s still easy to spot a computer generated person for example.

The subtle deformations of objects that touch eachother. Most notably when a character is walking, it looks as if they are always walking on hard stone, even when it is textured to look like sand, dirt or grass. The subtle shifting of the earth. The deformation of the sole of a shoe. When grasping an object: the deformation of the skin of the hand. Even with otherwise photorealistic graphics, nothing seems to have any weight or substance.
