I didn't want to wade in on this topic until I belatedly received the issue in question. I have it now, and I am with the traditionalists. The three-dimentional modelling shown in the article is outstanding, and the written description of the layout shows the builder has invested much thought and research into producing a model with tremendous fidelity to the prototype. But here's the problem: rather than showing us how the builder has presented an actual backdrop to showcase the foreground scenes, we have a computer-generated background that does not fairly and accurately depict the scene a viewer might have of the "real" layout. We don't know how the builder handled the problem of overhead floor joists or other common construction features. Instead we have, in my humble opinion, a fairly crude imposition of a photo of an actual foreground scene against an unrelated photographic background. To me, all of the "photos" said "phony", notwithstanding the disclaimers and the phenomonally good three-dimensional modelling.
