Great bit of software, but I am after tips.
I'm rendering an interior scene of a kitchen. The camera trucks past a kettle/various objects on a counter in the foreground. In the background, there is the dining table and chairs.
I want to initially have the background out of focus, but then throw the foreground out of focus. I understand that I need to animate the focal point to achieve this, but the problem I always encounter is that in order to throw the foreground well out of focus, I have to increase the radius parameter so much that the area of sharpness gets very very narrow, in effect making nearly all the image out of focus apart from a slither of the dining room table and chairs in the background.
Do you get me?
What tips can you give me to achieve quite extreme DOF effects, yet maintain a wide 'sharp' area?
I am using VrayZDepth set at 5m, and my AE project is all 8bit (old After Effects!).
I could, of course, split up the composition into foreground and background layers in AE, but I'd like to do this with just the Frischluft lenscare plugin if possible.
