stayinwonderland Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 For some reason the vray depth of field from within the render set up never works for me. I'd like to get it to work because using the DOF in the camera means messing with exposure every time I want to adjust the f-number. Any ideas? It's probably a common issue.

Boris Horosavin Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 If you are talking about the Vray Physical camera I too always get the same problem. It imitates physical and optical phenomena in such manner that you practically can't tweak it at all and can never be sure what effect it will produce. Of course, it is much easier with standard camera, since you can tweak DOF effect from Render menu to achieve more or less blurriness, noise and subdivision etc. I'm still on Vray 1.5 I wonder if they tried to solve this on 2.0...

stayinwonderland Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yeah I have 2.0 and it doesn't work. I haven't tried using a non-physical camera yet though. Strange oversite to make it not work with their own native camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Horosavin Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well, yeah, with standard camera it works ok: from render setup you can tune aparature and center bias (the higher the values the stronger blur), focal distance and subdivision (lower values-grainier result) to produce exact effect you need. I tried all the types of Vray cam. (still/video/movie) and it doesn't work with neither, you can only use native camera settings which are very limiting. This is very unfortunate since I doubt one can use Vray Sun/Sky with standard camera, so it's usable only in interior scenes or with different type of lighting.

neil poppleton Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Vray DOf works but your renders end up being 5 x render periods. Always post for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris, you certainly can use them with 'vray exposure control' in environment (8) setup. And such effects should be done in post for speed and control. You only spend little extra time for those additional render elements, but only once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
