Depth of Field problem
by Ian Collister (collography) on Jul 16, 2008 at 9:15:41 pm

Hi all
Have set up a 3d composition and decided to add a little blur to my depth of field. I had a play around with the camera settings but didnt get any results.

I set up an experimental project with two simple solids at different z depths, rammed up the camera aperture and got the result i was after.

I then recreated the camera settings back in my original composition along with test solids at the same z depths, but with no results again!

Is there something else im doing wrong? Something i dont have switched on? Or off?

Im guessing this is something very obvious. Any help is much appreciated, thanks all.

i.

Do you have Draft 3D on? This disables lighting and depth of field effects.

Thanks Darby.

Wasnt my 3d draft, but OpenGL preview. I turned it off and hey presto, depth of field blur.

Cheers.
