Meeh! Been able to do this with Photoshop for years! And the big deal is?

This is relly old stuff and photos are not even well made.

I use photoshop pretty much everyday at work and the artistic filters are not great. so I never use them. most of the time you can hardly tell what the original photo was. looks like this figures out what is in the image and adapts to it. sounds neat if it works but its hard to tell from these small images...

You're completely right, most of the renderings presented are well within the scope of many commercial SW packages, like the Virtual Painter for Photoshop. Bellow is the screenshot of NVIDIA demo rendered by Virtual Painter plugin.

You people are missing the point.
What this software does is automatically apply different filters to different areas of the image, which, AFAIK, Photoshop, the GIMP, etc., do not do.
Please read the article again, more carefully this time.
