Sometimes there can be more life hidden within a 2D image than we think: artist Zsolt Ekho Farkas rendered Gyula Benczúr's painting The Recapture of Buda in 1686 in a 3D frame, producing a video that lets viewers almost walk through the painting and experience bloodshed in chilling detail.

Then he made each character into a ready-to-animate figure, placing textures and painting over them to match the original work of art. After over two months of work, the project consists of more than 8.5 million polygons — giving the video a resolution so high that it had to be recut many times to avoid choppiness on most computers....

HTC has officially unveiled the new One. The company revealed its latest Android flagship during a worldwide launch event today. And while it may carry the same name as its predecessor, the new One features a tweaked design with a larger display, curvier metal sides, and a dual-camera system.
