Camera with DOF

Post by wireframex » 20 Mar 2015, 10:13

Is there anywhere rigged camera to see directly the DOF zone in the viewport ?
Note : I use VRay 3.0 for SI
Thanks
Phil

The viewport does not have DOF preview, but you could use the Render Region. Not sure how Vray plugs into the Render Region though... :-?

Its not possible to tie the focal point to the camera interest? Otherwise you could maybe set the focal point by an expression of distance between camera and interest.

try this compound on an empty polymesh.
you probably need to pick the camera.
it gives you a plane for the focal point and sends its info to the vray lens shader.
you can eighter use the interest, set a custom focal distance or use the one from the vray lens shader.
unfortunately i don't see how to visualize the Sharp Zone...

EDIT:
I just found out that there is DOF in the High Quality Viewport!
Let me try to link it whit my compound and the VRAY Camera.

Thanks for all your answer, maybe my explaination was not so clear :-ss

In fact I'm looking for something like this who works with V-Ray camera :

A focus point with the focus zone you can change directly in the viewport
