For depth of field you need to use 2.43 and use this:

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Compositing_Nodes_Filters#Defocus

Pay close attention to the camera settings part. Place the yellow cross where you want the focus to be.

I have some sample results here but of course people have put cooler stuff on Blenderartists and I think oodmb's egg picture uses the Defocus node.

I generally do DoF in post work in the GIMP.....

----------

Toolset: Blender, GIMP, Indigo Render, LuxRender, TopMod, Knotplot, Ivy Gen, Plant Studio.

GOG_CA1,

That is pretty much out of the question for an animation over a minute or two. For stills your're right its probably easier.

Gog ( ) posted Mon, 16 April 2007 at 4:10 PM

The original post didn't mention animation just how to set up DoF......

That said I have applied DoF to animations in GIMP using script fu to load the sequential bitmaps, that assumes that you're not dynamically refocussing the 'camera'.

Thanks l3la and Gog_CA1 for the help, I have a program called Defocus Dei for doing this in post work, but as the DoF in Blender is almost a postwork as I understand it I wanted to do it inside Blender and sorry I didn't say it's for stills pictures.
Tank you Again for the constructive answers :-)

Try using YafRay. It has native DoF support and has built-in integration with Blender 2.4. (You still need to download it, though www.yafray.org).

It is better to do one thing well, than to do many things and excel at nothing.
