I understand how to use the physical camera depth of field, but how do you override your camera depth of field to make your scene look like a tiny-town without scaling down the scene? Thanks!

I’m not a 100% sure on this but you might try playing with the vertical tilt/shift on the physical camera to alter the angle of the plane at which your focus DOF works. As i understand it in real world term it’s this effect from tilt-shift lenses that creates the miniature look. There’s an article …

use the depth of field in the render settings instead of the cam, or switch off exposure in the camera and make the aperture 10-50x the size.

I don’t think you can pull off the same effect with the v-ray camera as you can with a physical tilt-shift lens setup. The Vray camera has no way to tilt the lens. Instead, it can only tilt the vertical plane of the camera. This is something I’ve wished for is to have a camera that works just like a…

NeilG, I tried enlarging the aperture to achieve that, down to 0.025 for my scene. The camera’s focus range planes show up, but they don’t seem to have an effect. (I can get DOF working fine when using a real world aperture and short distances, though, so I’m not forgetting to turn DOF on). I’m gett…

Streetwise, you’re in Bemus Point? No way! I worked at the Lenhart Hotel many years ago.

Yepper! Ahh, the Lenhart Hotel… I believe there’s probably a rocker with your name on it! How cool is that?

it is now built into Photoshop. If you don’t mind doing it in post.

You’re getting noise but there’s no depth of field, or you cant set the area thats in focus?

Neilg: I’m getting noise but there’s no depth of field. Making the aperature that big effects the camera’s focus planes in the viewport, but stuff outside of them don’t seem to blur. Using a 1.0 aperature, and a small scene, stuff outside the planes is blurred as you’d expect. Bobby: I tried the le…

I think that’s right as you can change the image plane, but not the lens plane (Scheimpflug principle). I still hold a candle for have that ability one day.

Lens effects not rendering the same in 3.5??
