DOF not rendering with Stage Object

[jonas_schneider]

Hello guys,

My workflow for 3D Product Renderings is often that I make a Stage Object sequence for all my perspectives. Unfortuantly that creates a bit of a bug(?), that when I use cameras with either DOF turned off or on, either the DOF renders for every frame or it doesnt render. So my wide productshots dont use DoF while my close-ups use DoF. When I render those images seperatly without the Stage Object, it works as expected.

So my question is now: Is this a generell VRay problem or is there a way to fix that already? I could seperate the non-DoF images into a seperate project, would also mean that I actually have to work with 2 projects while the content is the same in both. Suggestions are welcome

Hello jonas_schneider,

This is a known issue that has already been discussed here. The bug is reported to our developers (bug ID: VC4D-1271) and I will keep you updated on its progress. Thank you.

My workaround is to use the take manager and render all cameras with activated DOF by one take and all cameras without DOF by another take.

This is what my workaround is also looking right now, but its good to know that other people also having issues with that and the devs are aware of it. Looking forward to the Fix some day
