Aren't artists still involved in getting assets ready for production? My understanding was that a fair amount of polishing and refinement would still be required after capture (e.g. trimming down a very high poly model to something which can be rendered at 60FPS) - but I don't know to what extent that may have been automated by now.

I guess technologies like Nannite will also reduce the need for this type of grunt work.

But in either case, artists will still be involved in framing and staging the scene, doing the actual capture etc.

Creating a beautiful scene through photogrammetry is still a form of art, the same way photography and painting are each forms of art.
