DoF is done in Pose2Lux.
On the camera screen there is a checkbox to enable Depth of Field. When checked Pose2Lux will automatically calculate and set the correct parameters in the Lux scene file to emulate the same DOF effect you would get if you were using a 35mm SLR.
Pose2Lux uses the following information for DoF:
Focus distance: set in POSER, using the camera's parameter dial 'focus distance'
Focal length: set in POSER, again using the camera's parameter dial of the same name.
fStop, set in POSE2LUX (i.e. overriding the Poser camera's setting of the same name)
While all three of these combine to determine the exact Dof Effect, the fStop setting has the most influence. Choose a wide aperture (low fStop number) for a strong DoF effect.
Note that you will still be able to change the fStop value in Lux while it's rendering without affecting the DoF - the calculations for DoF are made at the point of export and not affectedby any subsequent change in Lux.
