A tongue-in-cheek declaration from the rendering community: 'We condemn machines that produce images without solving the rendering equation. It's only rendering if it comes from the region of Kajiya 1986, otherwise it's just sparkling tokens.'
The joke riffs on the Champagne regional-naming meme, poking fun at AI image generation bypassing traditional physically-based rendering pipelines.
