I went back to some AI-generated packaging images I created one year ago and tried to recreate them using newer AI models.
The difference is honestly wild. The materials, lighting, shadows, reflections, proportions… everything feels significantly more realistic now.
It made me wonder what we'll be recreating with these tools another year from now.
2025 or 2026: which one looks more convincing?

"October 2026" looks better. It has better lighting, shadow, material design and it looks more realistic.

It really can't be compared; I can't imagine what might be possible in a year.
