I disagree because good artists can make imperfection, thanks to procedural materials especially you can randomise stuff and get the sort of look you're wanting. Again, see Blender shorts and the like for what a proper artist with access to modern tech can do. All the big studios do now is churn out whatever crap they've got on hand and they can't even do consistent results now scene by scene. Less of an issue these days what tech you're using and more about art skill.
