Title: Where are controls for DOF ?
Post by: PhotoComix on June 25, 2012, 01:42:39 AM
Sorry for asking something so trivial

I could not find the controls i looked in camera and postprocessing,

Personally i seldom like use it so i never look for it before but now i need to found the control because i want disable the blur
(i am tweaking something...well i wish but that blur spoils everything.

Pease don't take me wrong sometimes blur is very nice and i appreciate DOF controls..well i would appreciate if only i could find where are

Found...in postprocessing not sure why i didn't see before

BUT still i am no sure how to avoid any blur, now i am trying with "clip radius" set to 0 , but i am not sure if is the best way

If you don't want any Blur why are you using DoF

I didn't want use DOF !
but i wanted tweak some parameters i found that were screwed up by a intensive blur (by a error when saving the parameters, the relate image was  good http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2226186  but what i get from the parameters was...well really out of focus )

So i wanted to know how disable the DOF
and i am not sure if i did well...i could not see any "use DOF" box to un-check  so i did the only think i could image, set blur amount to 0

It worked but i wonder if i did well or M3D will waste time to calculate how to distribute the intensity of the 0 pixel blur in the various part of the image...or if there is anyway a smarter way

there is no such box, but there is is a checkbox "calculate automatic" in every post effect section. unchecking hinders m3d to calculate the particular effect after rendering is done. you can still trigger it by pushing "calculate now" but it wont be done automatically...

hope that helps  ;D

Only thing I calc on auto is some ambient shadows and they always get changed before it's over
