Modern: data-driven graphics. Graphics -> Image Retrieval.

Composting multiple parts: User input + database images -> output.

But we want to be "realisitic".

Computer Graphics	Photography
Great creative possibilities	Instantly realistic
Easy to manipulate objects/viewpoint	Easy to aqure
Tremendous expertise and effort to obtain realism.	Hard to manipulate objects/viewpoint.

Want realism, manipulation, and ease of capture.

Success today: big compute (GPUs), big models (DNN) and Big data.
