Great work! I have a question. How do you know what to set the numbers to for it. I'm wondering about the lens setting and focal length, Could you give me some general guidelines to go by. How do I know if it will be blurry in the background or the foreground? You help would be of great assistance to me. Thanks, kaom

Honestly , I just experimented with the render settings and did a few render passes on very small render size settings also use the spray renderer on small areas of the back and foreground elements to get an idea of what the final will look like basically trial and error

On depth of field, select the object or objects that you want to be in focus, then go into the Premium settings and use the Set To Selection function, it will auto set the DOF for you Kaom.

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!

Thanks Guys, That cleared things up. The set to selection function seems to be the ticket I was looking for. I'm really glad Bryce now gas this feature. Thanks, kaom

But this mimics photography, not reality. I would prefer to see things the way they look. Of course, you could be very short-sighted ...
