Script: DoF toy for max

[egz]

Nice!

A few minor things:
aperature should be aperture
infinitive should be infinity

[vlado]

...but nevertheless DoF controll in Vray isn't what i would call user friendly.

Perhaps, but the controls are enough to define the camera exactly and without ambiguities. From them, you can compute any other values you need, and vice-versa.

Best regards,
Vlado

new:
- some typo updates - thx Torgeir
- the aperture diameter in different units. ..should be the right value for every renderer
- a slider instead of a dropdownbox

vlado, there will be a physical correct camera in vray 3.98.18 ..right

Nice Tool Dschaga! Good to speak about this topic again!
I think it should be integrated... Nah, put that into a VrayCam Interface Mockup and put it in the Wishlist section.
Also consider the polygonal shape of the aperture. I think this could be handy.
Unfortunately i don't have time to think about it myself.

Dude i'm sure we'll see some improvements before Vray is !Realtime...

oh ..forgot to ask vlado:
Is the vray aperture unit in meter, centimeter or millimeter.
I get only good results when i interpret my values ..in above case "0.0355m" as 0.3555 ..decimeters(?).

has there been any updates on this?

[Dschaga]

what's missing?

[jacksc02]

nothing is missing, im just wondering how this script can be used with the new physical camera to determine DOF
