Join Brian Bradley for an in-depth discussion in this video Depth of field: using a perspective viewport, part of V-Ray 2.0 for 3ds Max Essential Training.
Let's take a look then at how we would create an in-camera depth-of-field…effect, but when rendering from a 3ds Max Perspective viewport.…Now the workflow for the particular video would be identical if we were using a…regular 3ds Max camera also.…So the first thing we're going to go to is we are going to go to our camera, so…let's just go and select our Depth-of-field camera. We want to makes…certain that we have got the same framing.…We don't want to render through the VRayPhysicalCamera of course,…so I am just going to use the P keyboard shortcut to switch that viewport now…to a perspective viewport, so we are no longer rendering through the VRayPhysicalCamera.…
Now of course that presents a little bit of a problem in the scene, as our…scene's lighting was set up to use the VRayPhysicalCamera and its Exposure settings.…Well, one way to get around that, one way to not have to do any extra work…really, is to come into our Environment and Effects dialog. So I am going to use…the 8 keyboard shortcut.…
