Reminder: there's a new website

I keep forgetting that this blog used to be a thing. Some people still visit it.

For those people, you can find all of my work on my main website: matteorizzo.com 

There you can also find links to my other profiles (Instagram, Twitter, etc).

Now there's also a Discord server. The link is on that website too.

Lots of exciting stuff coming in the near future, let's keep in touch!

I'll see you around, possibly on Discord.

Quick announcement

Hi, quick update on the situation:

A lot happened in the past months, now I can say I'm back.

For a while now, I've been working on a new version of Realistico. It's a complete remaster. I can't tell when it's going to be available.

This new version is taking more than expected (I started from scratch many times, long story).

To avoid waiting so much for it, I decided to make another version in between.

This in between update will be Realistico 09.

The remaster will be Realistico 10.

Realistico 09 is 100% compatible with the current version of the game.
As always, compatible does not mean it'll be complete with all the textures. We'll get there.
To cut down on time it uses mostly the same vanilla textures.

Realistico 09 will bring some new stuff, a wider range of resolutions and a completely new mapping.

Minelands is out now

After months of work, Minelands is now ready to be released.

This pack will be released over time in small batches of textures.

In this first release, you will find the essentials: grass, wood, stone and a few accessories.

You can download it here.

Realistico 08

Realistico 08 has been released (28/12/2018).

This update is mainly about making the pack compatible with the new naming system of 1.13, and adding PBR functionalities to specular maps.

PBR allows more control over the final look of the reflections, by separating opacity and metallic, and distinguishing between metals and non-metallic materials.

You can access the latest version on matteorizzo.com/realistico.

Changelog

+ added 1.13 compatibility
+ added Physically Based specular maps

realistico tutorial

Realistico has an innovative approach to Minecraft: it has been created with the bump mapping in mind.
As a default, a standard, a normal thing.
By the default, Minecraft doesn't support bump mapping, so Realistico requires the Shaders mod to work properly.
