Depth of Field in Vray Sketchup

[nomeradona_cg]

Finally, finally... with the help of Apiwat the DOF in Vray sketchup has been unlocked. Apiwat allowed me to share in my site his the making of his contemporary kitchen here.http://sketchupvrayresources.blogspo...y-kitchen.html


But for me, the gem here is how his approach with DOF. Ver clear and I have tried it. it works. TO concentrate on the DOF tutorial, I made another blog entry HERE.
USing SKetchUP 8, and Vray SKetchup

gReat!
and was that result achieved only with the phisical camera?
i used to understand it in past versions, but then the numbers stoped working, probably because of the changes from one version to the other, i lately i've been applying doff effect in photoshop, with the z depth channel, but it's not as perfect as it used to be with vray.
gotta study this now :P

[nomeradona_cg]

yeap you need to use vray physical camera.

[nomeradona_cg]

i am very happy with the dof using vray. im still cooking this one, you will like it.

[arqestevez1]

sure i will... i have one interior project coming soon, and i'm already hopping i can make some artistic shots using the dof.
thanks for your time.
by the way, how is it going with the camtasia studio?
have you tried it?
i think your blog would become a real gold mine with some of your teachings in video

[nomeradona_cg]

arqestevez. i have tried the camtasia. im liking it. I will surely put some video tutorials later. I tried one without sound.

Hi nomeradona I was looking at your youtube video and noticed that you had a lot of plugins on your top menu bar Im wondering if you could recommend any.
I use a few plugins UVtoolkit, Joint Push and Pull, Fredo Scale and a few others.

[arqestevez1]

hell yeah... it does need a lot of preparation.
although it's much easier if you use your native language.
i'm a real fan of your tutorials. I´m actually thinking of another in wich i intend to give a quick explanation about the vray settings, but it's gonna be in spanish hehe.
hey, i think that with all the followers that you have, you could easily find someone who would like to add subtitles
and yep, yo do have a lot of plugins... my interface is much more simple than yours...

Hi nomeradona I was looking at your youtube video and noticed that you had a lot of plugins on your top menu bar Im wondering if you could recommend any.

I normally use these scripts and plugins.

THose things you said are a must pluggins

1. Tools on Surface and Curviloft by Fredo, I used it often for organic shapes and skinning.
2. Use all the "Extrude Tools" by Tigs. These are a must for me.
3. "Weld" tool by rick wilson to create polylines.
4. Instant roof, instant grade by CHuck Vali
5. "Round Corner" by Fredo. This is a must for me to round my corners before rendering.
6. Shape Bender by Chris Fulmer.
7. Camera extension. THis will create a camera that you can actually measure.. very useful for Vray DOF
8. Projections by D.D Bur. I like this one for curtain and projecting my lines quickly.

Others

- Tube along path, or even cylinder to path
- Fur Maker, Ivy, Windowizer, Door maker, stair maker, cabinet maker, 1001 tools and house builder. (kinda shortcuts though for modelling)

I agree completely with you arqestevez. I dont mind using English but of course with that "rather hard" FIlipino accent.
