Helloooooo Bryce users! I hope someone can help me out. I am trying to blur the foreground and backround of an image and keep something in the middle in focus. I have read that it can be done using Photoshop.The instructions are unclear. I need help. If anyone out there can help me I would be very greatful!!! Thanks

I haven't tried this my self but here goes. :-) "To find these render options click on the triangle next to the render control. To create depth of field using Photoshop. 1.Render the scene normaly using the perpective render mode. 2.Save the image in a convenient location. 3.Render the scene again, this time using distance mask render mode. 4.Save the image to the same location. 5.Open perspective render and the distance render images in Photoshop. 6.Place the distance render image into the alpha channel of the perspective image. 7.Load the alpha channel as a selection. 8.Apply gaussian blur. Objects close to you will appear sharp while object farther away will become progressively more out of focus. You can also invert the selection and apply motion blur to the image. In this case the forground would be motion blured and the back ground would be sharp as if you were taking a picture from a moving car. You could determine very specifically which objects in your scene are in focus and which are not. Select the distance render alph channel and remap the gray values in curves dialog in Photoshop, Remap black input to kighter output, and the gray value of the desired focal object to black." Taken from the Bryce5 manual but I think it will work with Bryce four also. the F.O.G.

Bryce seems to only maintain proper mappings for textures from bryce when exporting and importing wavefront obj files. Don't ask me why. Give that a shot. It's how I import everything I do.
