Minecraft con texturas ultrarrealistas

Un artista llamado HodiltoN está creando texturas ultrarrealistas para Minecraft, que pueden utilizarse con un motor de raytracing llamado SEUS que es todavía muy experimental, muy alfa pero bastante interesante. Los altos requerimientos hacen que funcione en unos ordenadores mejor que en otros –según su potencia gráfica– así que todo es cuestión de experimentar.

Sin necesidad de bajarse e instalar SEUS el vídeo permite hacerse una idea del resultado y de lo cálidas y agradables que resultan las construcciones de Minecraft con esas texturas: piedra, madera y colores acogedores en su mayor parte. Las antorchas siguen igual de pixeladas como puños, pero el resto se deja ver bastante bien, con bonitos juegos de luces y sombras.

Ambos artistas utilizan Patreon para subvencionar sus trabajos con donaciones, así que quienes sienta verdadera pasión o interés por esta forma de arte + programación y quiera aportar, ya sabe.

That Game of Thrones re-do petition is more embarrassing than any coffee cup

The Game of Thrones fan petition to remake the show's final season isn't just silly. It's a misunderstanding of the relationship between shows and their audience, among many, many other things.

Nikon Coolpix B600 Review

The Nikon Coolpix B600 has two big things going for it -- a 60x zoom lens and a $330 price. But the camera cuts too many features and doesn't deliver the quality you'd expect.

This $14 Surge Protector Is Also a Night Light

This Aukey surge protector orients its four AC outlets and two USB ports to the side, which is great for hiding behind furniture. But it’s also a night light and phone stand, which is sort of contradictory to the furniture thing, but I guess you could use it either way. Get it for $14 with promo code WKJCRAED.

Tooth Analysis Suggests Neanderthals and Modern Humans Split Apart Far Earlier Than We Thought

Dental evidence suggests Neanderthals and modern humans diverged from a common ancestor around 800,000 years ago—hundreds of thousands of years earlier than standard estimates.
