I also have noticed this, and hope it returns to the way it was!

For me, most of my crashes come when editing trees. After adding 10-14 trees with changes made using the editor, Vue will crash everytime!  Hopefully they fix this soon.

Hello,

First off you must pick "depth of field" in the render options.  Beside the depth of field there is an option button, click that and pick hybrid 2.5. You will probably want atleast 4 passes (this will take some render time). When you have your seen set up, you will need to go to the camera options, click on the "focus" target to choose your model or item that will be in proper focus. Then click on the "blur" icon to choose how much blur you want. Now when you render you scene you should see the effects your looking for.

I can't say this has happened to me before, and hope it never does lol. Atleast you got it to load again!

I always use 100% AA quality for final renders, and my min/ max is usually 8 and 40. I think my problem was mainly from the hair i was using, but i'm not 100% sure yet. I'm surprise to see there is little difference between 1 pass and 5 though. I only used the ray trace method once, it turned out kind of grainy. Thanks for your reply.

That was a really good idea Bruno, but unfortuately the results are about the same.

I will have to try that out!

After a quick test with just vue objects, i do not see the problem either. It's strange that this didn't happen in previous versions of Vue and does with Vue 8.

I'm not using the poser shader tree. These artifacts were not present when i used Vue 7, even with a single pass. I'm not at home right now, so i can't test out other objects yet. I would say there is some problem with Vue 8.

I didn't save the rendered image. I have used the hybrid 2.5D a few times before with vue 7 and had no problems. The picture looked like i was adding blur by hand in photoshop and was scared to get to close to the character, there was a 2 to 4 pixel width around the target that was not blurred out like it should have been. Hopefully they release an update soon to fix it. How do i create a ticket with e-on without having the program crash?

Thank you very much!  Your tutorials are excellent!

Congratulations Rutra!

Your work is always excellent!  Wonderful gallery. Very well deserved!

In Vue at the top pick Display -->Current View--->and uncheck Show only objects from active layer. This fixed the problem for me.

I quickly tried 2 layers with 1 tree in each layer. I can only see one tree at a time. I think i will go back to the last version until they fix some of the bugs.
