Modder Restores Cut Scene In One Of The Main Endings of “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt”

Gaming
The cut extended ending scene of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, in which Ciri becomes a witcher, has been restored. It turned out a little more soulful and with new details. Let's recall that in one of the three main plot endings of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Ciri, who eluded Geralt of Rivia throughout the game, not only remains alive, but also becomes a witcher herself following the White Wolf.

Doom Launched on Volumetric Voxel Display

Doom Launched on Volumetric Voxel Display

Gaming
Weta Workshop graphics engineer James Brown built a device in the shape of a ball that rotates and displays a flickering 3D image. The enthusiast was able to run Doom on it. This isn't classic Doom, but a variant called Voxel Doom, where each point of the game object is assigned a position in 3D space, just like the points of a custom-built volumetric display. The display isn't actually 3D—it's an illusion. "It's like a holographic fan, but instead of spinning a 1D strip to create a 2D image, it spins a 2D panel to produce a 3D image," explains James Brown. https://youtu.be/na7pvihXhYs Brown initially aimed for a rotation speed of 300 rpm to produce a smooth image, but found that higher speeds were needed to achieve the desired clarity, especially when filming.
