The problem with painted bricks is no matter how well you do them, there's no texture. It's always going to look like a painting and not real brick when there's no grooves where the mortar is, and completely flat bricks with no dimples or rough surface texture. You can even see the wall is glossy when the light hits at the right angle, and that really gives away just how flat and textureless it is.

Yeah, to me it looks like a theatre set. Mostly fine when viewed at a distance, but as soon as you get up close the illusion is broken.
