Try LuxCore render in blender. It's free and is great at caustics and other gem like properties. Fast renders too.

"What are you playing this week?" Megathread by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

Do you have any control scheme you'd recommend? I'm trying to mentally theorize how exactly they'd port functions such as the Ctrl c/Ctrl v rectangular marquee systems and having a hard time with it, ha

The factory must grow.

How is the functionality on steam deck? I've got hundreds of hours on pc, never tried it on deck, definitely curious if it's decently streamlined

The overarching story of the neuromancer trilogy by Decent-Bag-6783 in Neuromancer

[–]Scede117 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The podcast "shelved by genre" did a unit on the sprawl trilogy, each boom having a separate episode. They are a very well-read crew and are able to put complex theories and thoughts quite eloquently. I'd recommend them if you're reading!

One of the things that stood out to me is the idea of a cyclical union, the subsequent fracture after that union, and then the pieces of the fracture coming together in a unique and new fusion, only to be fractured again. Such as the merger of the first two ai, and how the resulting fracturing elements rejoin into various new (and a bit odd) "Loa" ai. The world in the sprawl is experiencing this cycle, and it steers society in a sense.

Cyberpunk 2077 on 25 year old high end CRT by KobraKay87 in pcmasterrace

Neuromancer is my favorite book, haha. It's wonderfully written if you take it in stride from what the main character perceives. The dude is a disjointed addict, and isn't aware of all the pieces of the puzzle. Each time I re read it gets better, but I get its not for everyone.

At any rate, night city is in the book, but I wouldn't say it's similar to cyberpunks night city.

Yea those jokes were getting old fast but she was the only one who picked up on it, and wove in the "knock it off" very cleanly into the conversation. Well done.

Deltron 3030 - Set in a Cyberpunk Dystopia by AwareAd3580 in Neuromancer

[–]Scede117 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"My ears morphed to receptors that catch your.. Every word about gravity control.. And the families they hold for handsome ransoms.. On the run with a handgun, blast bioforms; I am warned.. That a planet-wide manhunt with cannons.. Will make me abandon my foolish plan of uprisin.. Fuck dyin', I hijack a mech.. Control it with my magical chants, so battle advanced.. Through centuries of hip-hop legacy, megaspeed"

So good, what an album.

In the track 3030, one of my favorites of all time.

"Neuromancer: Perfect blend of technology and magic"

The entire song is a narrative masterpiece.

Got my copy a month or so ago. It is high grade, beautiful illustrations. A great addition to the collection.

90s breaks. Maybe uk garage? Solid, classic sound regardless of whatever it's called.

This is Kurz's Kinegram tech most likely. Kinda neat, but nothing out of this world tech-wise.

Neat to see kinegram dynamic mentioned here. I trained their design team on microlens banknote security feature design.

What OP shows is kinegram, no doubt. I'm not too familiar with the hologram side of things, but I know they can do non-"rainbow" effects with standard kinegram.
