Title: Mushroom Pillars Post by: Lee Oliver on September 09, 2010, 12:49:15 AM I realized that I haven't been posting anything from mandelbulb 3D so I thought I would post this one. What do you think about the Depth of Field? Should I go stronger or weaker or just leave it? I would also like to express my appreciation for this program. :)

Should I go stronger or weaker or just leave it? Very nice image, despite my dislike of DOF effects. If you are asking me, I'd say turn depth of field off and never use it again. But many folks seem to like it, so my advice is to do what YOU like best, and not worry about what I think! Or anybody else either. And I gotta agree - Mandelbulb 3D is a Wonderful Program! Title: Re: Mushroom Pillars Post by: aluminumstudios on September 09, 2010, 03:18:52 AM As someone who is really into photography, my opinion is use more or less DOF, but not this level. The distant objects are just out of focus enough to be distracting, not really artistic or a setting to the foreground IMHO.
This is a very cool image BTW. Title: Re: Mushroom Pillars Post by: bib on September 09, 2010, 10:20:03 AM Very nice picture. That goes well with your username :)
I like DoF like this, don't change anything. If it were me, I would just have tried to vary the color of the backgroung, maybe using the background bmp feature. The lighting is very good. M3D is really a window to Terra Incognita. I love it! cheers bib Title: Re: Mushroom Pillars Post by: reallybigname on September 11, 2010, 11:35:03 PM I love this image, and I love the light DOF effect! (well, to me its light) Reminds me of sandbags...
