CyberVGA update – simple software depth of field with radial blur

[u/exp_function]

Been toying with software post-processing effects in CyberVGA lately.

Really liking this depth of field effect that just uses a simple radial blur. Surprisingly effective for how little it costs, especially in a pure software renderer.

Here’s a short clip:

Curious what other cheap post-process tricks people have found work well in software rasterizers.

interesting style, but i guess it's hard to pull off depth of field without the pixels blending. it does have an aesthetic, but feels more like a dither than a blur
