Re: my interior look like a mini toy model

Using DoF makes models look like toy models because in real photography extreme DoF tends only to be used with macro subjects.

DoF is one of those "just-because-you-can-doesn't-mean-you-should" features. In architectural photography manipulation of the DoF is rarely used and when it is, it's usually when some of the subjects are extremely close to the camera (i.e. tree foliage, furntiture, props, etc) compared to the target. Look at 99.9% of professional architectural photographs and you'll see that the photographer has used a very small aperture size (large f-number) and long exposure (or sometimes very fast film) to achieve an image in which everything is in focus, i.e. there is effectively no DoF.

In other words, for close-ups, industrial design and certain architectural images DoF is a very useful tool, but it's way overused in architecural visualisations IMO.

Nice image BTW.

Re: my interior look like a mini toy model

thx jackson for that insight...
so its better to use higher F point ie:12 or 24?
or is it better just to turn dof off

Re: my interior look like a mini toy model

To be honest, I have no idea, I've never got around to messing with DoF (I usually just do it in post-processing). I've been meaning to play with DoF for a while, but there's always something more important to be getting on with.

IMO, if that was my render, taken from that viewpoint, I wouldn't use any DoF.

Re: my interior look like a mini toy model

I agree with Jackson, DOF tends to give that 'model' feel is used improperly. You have a nice image, why go to the trouble of blurring it on purpose?
