There is now so much manga and light novel titles that I kinda understand why they do this. It is hard to decide what to even click on, and if I can’t even tell what genre it is from the title or cover picture, I’m less likely to check it out

The model only works on the rendered image and motion vectors. Other than the image it has no information about the lighting in the scene, weather or anything else. So in the current form it really doesn’t have much to do with realism.

It would be similar to how you do it in Unity. Godot has similar networking to UNET that existed back then. The docs are pretty easy to understand.
