I agree. Could you people guesstimate the number of different material /
shader types used in their games? I would assume at most a few dozens (with
many of them being variations of a few). Anything under 40 is clearly a job
for hand-crafting them. Even if you have an automated system, you will
definitely leave the option to hand-optimize the most used (or less optimal
when automated) ones.
