Based in Jakarta, retoucher Aditya Aryanto recently had a simple idea: what if real life animals looked more like the cubic creations in the game Minecraft?
Using public domain images, he pulled them into Photoshop, and used the liquify curves tool to transform the animals into unnaturally straight lines.
“I am interested in the cubical shape and trying to change some animal form into cubes. First, I was afraid if it would be nicer than the original shape,” he said. “I was really curious about the results, so I tried to find some funny animal pictures to be changed into Anicube. I found animal pictures from Unsplash and Pixabay. Once I collected, I started making these images in Photoshop.”
Fany giving it a try? In Photoshop, just use the Liquify tool and shape to your heart’s content (Shift+Command+X). You can see the full album here.
Two local gamers have created a Minecraft version of Portland. It’s extraordinary.
If you don’t already know, Minecraft is a sandbox game that allows you to build worlds. From watching a girl I babysit play on her iPad, she’s showed me that you can create indoor swimming pools and domesticate cats, among other things.
The thing has incredible detail, including a Keep Portland Weird sign, Big Pink and a MAX that moves. The Nines Hotel building looks scarily accurate, as does Pioneer Courthouse Square and the entire skyline.
And it goes far beyond the images below. The creators say there are interiors to some buildings, and they plan to start creating the east side soon.
They say they started November 4 and have worked about 300 hours on the project.
Minecraft‘s Discovery Update is coming to Windows 10 and Pocket Editions, bringing with it more exploration options and journeys into woodland mansions. Oh, and llamas.
“Barter with a cartographer for a treasure map,” and seek out your fortune, according to the official Minecraft blog. The maps lead you to woodland mansions where you can duke it out with Illagers, “villagers gone bad,” for treasure.
The Discovery Update is similar to the Exploration Update implemented in vanilla Minecraft back in November, which saw the introduction of llamas as tameable mobs used as pack animals. Llamas are part of the Discovery Update and have similar functionality to the Llamas in Minecraft on PC.
A new Adventure Mode is also coming with the update, “for folks who like to make custom games and scenarios.”
The Discovery Update beta is coming to the Android version of Pocket Edition “very soon,” and more information can be found on the official Minecraft blog “in the coming weeks.”
Minecraft consistently appears in the top of the NPD Group’s monthly US sales listings, and its popularity doesn’t seem to show any signs of slowing down. Minecraft is coming to Nintendo Switch, making it the first Nintendo portable to have a version of the game.
Copyright disputes, huge camera announcements, the decline and fall of Instagram botting, this week has been a pretty serious one in the photo industry. Let’s wrap it up on a slightly… sillier note. Behold: Minecraft in Real Life.
Retoucher Aditya Aryanto from Jakarta, Indonesia recently had a simple idea: what if real life animals looked more like the cubic creations in the game Minecraft?
Curiosity sufficiently piqued, he took to Unsplash and Pixabay to find some great public domain images to play with, pulled them into Photoshop, and began liquifying curves into unnaturally straight lines. Before he knew it, he had everything from Tigers to Bunnies looking like they’d just been taken out of the box and hadn’t had time to really fluff out yet.
The resulting series, “Minecraft in Real Life” or “Anicube”, is quickly flying up the ranks on Behance, and seems like the perfect photo project with which to start the weekend. Enjoy:

For the “Minecraft” players, it is really good to see new mobs in the game, and these mutated two-headed cows, huge scorpions and other new mobs are makes this new pack very exciting. And of course, this pack adds in some music tracks from the “Fallout” franchise.
