Join Brian Bradley for an in-depth discussion in this video Depth of field: VRayPhysicalCamera, part of V-Ray 2.0 for 3ds Max Essential Training.
When it comes to adding a photographic depth-of-field effect to our renders,…there are a number of options available to us whilst rendering with V-Ray.…In this video, we will look at using the VRayPhysicalCamera to create and…control an in-rendered depth-of-field effect.…Now, when we're looking to create these types of effects with the VRayPhysical-…camera, we really need to keep in mind the fact that choices we make, such as…focal length for our lens, the camera's placement with regard to composition,…any lighting and exposure requirements that we have for the scene, all of these…will affect how we work with, how we create, and control our depth-of-field…effect in the scene.…
For that reason, we need you to take note of the fact that any numeric values we…work with in this video really are specific to this scene and the shot that…we've composed in it.…You will perhaps need to adapt the values to work with the scale of your scene…and the type of depth-of-field effect you want in your shot.…
