LCD Pixel animation, in Blender. Used geometry nodes with "Geometry proximity" node to choose between lit/unlit pixels. Font is agressively scaled and with no antialiasing, got some 80s/90s look.

Woot! After several failed attempts, got a #rayverse render to work on my Windows laptop. 😍 Used Bing Chat to give me a code snippet that actually worked. Not used R for a long time, so stoked to be playing with it again. (Also, is POVRay still a thing? 🤔)

Question for QGIS users. I'm using 'point cluster' symbology (in Firenze), and I want to scale the markers according to number of points in the cluster. Is it possible? I thought there was a variable cluster_size but not seeing it? 😕 #gischat #qgis
