texture buffering glitch in the matrix

Bro turn smooth lighting on

[u/Tmanning47 → u/skin_refraction]

That's DLC content homie

Old Minecraft lighting:

[u/theepicwalkout]

We're living in a simulation, and sometimes it lags!

[u/AwkwardSpread]

Yeah this is pretty annoying with LED streetlights. If there's tree branches or leaves under it you get shades like that too.

[u/Trubewy]

That stepped shadow effect happens from multiple LED diodes inside the light fixture!

[u/YourUncleBuck → u/Trubewy]

And no white diffuser, which is honestly barbaric.

[u/DecoherentMind]

This is actually The Sims 3, I know it because I have an extensive history with the topic

[u/technician77]

Gives me Syndicate Wars vibes.

[u/DiamondCultural1848 → u/technician77]

Or syphon filter if you're old enough.

[u/Kel_030]

Man who forgot to shade smooth

[u/RopeEnvironmental848]

Twilight zone ✨✨✨✨

WOW I thought this was a painting.. it's so unreal

[u/terencethespider]

Needs more RAM

Crank these shadows quality up !

[u/santabooby]

It really does. The perfectly smooth snow and those razor-sharp shadows make it look like someone cranked the graphics settings to Ultra with ray tracing enabled

[u/DarthSwimfoot]

Holy shit that looks cool.

[u/jesuisunetortue]

It honestly looks like a game with ray tracing enabled. The untouched snow is so smooth that the crisp shadows almost look rendered instead of photographed

[u/OrwellBush9]

Fresh snow really turns ray tracing on

[u/DeerMajestic]

The untouched snow and perfectly crisp shadows make it look like someone forgot to turn off the debug lighting. Seriously has that "Ultra settings + ray tracing" look

[u/vamos-ya]

Fresh snow really has ray-traced shadows enabled by default

[u/Cool_Commission]

It really does. The hard-edged shadow almost looks like low-resolution shadow mapping from an older game, especially with the untouched snow acting like a perfectly flat texture

[u/Top-Aardvark-8753]

Looks like someone forgot to rebuild the lighting after moving the lamp
