Description
Hello everyone, Hope you had a good weekend.
Today I spent some time learning how 'depth of field' settings affect my renders, and I'm liking what I've learned so far. Unfortunately, Poser 7 seems to 'pixelate' things that are farther away pretty badly. Let me know what you think, and if anyone knows any good tips or tricks, please share 'em with us.
Thanks,
Tom

It is a great action scene...But I can't work poser very well, so I am no help wish I could.

Excellent work, well done..

Nice. I've thought about trying to take a fully rendored scene (or backdrop) and using a gausen (misspell) blur, setting it in the scene then rendoring it super huge and trying that for some depth of field behind the focus object. If my computer wasn't rendoring something now, I'd try it. Word up sticky note reminder! Nice job. :)

Great motion and depth composition Tom... Wonderful action scene!!

Great composition! I have not tried this yet and am no photoshop expert but you may get a good result by creating separate images. Add in the character you want in motion in a new layer. Post work the in motion figure with a blurring in photoshop or other graphic program and then layer the images together (in motion and non motion). That's my theory but I could be way off. Another thought is the image looks good at a small scale. you could render the image in a huge size and then crop it to a desired size and that may avoid the pixelating being noticed. Again I haven't tried this just thinking of some off the wall ideas.

Not bad. I find it faster and usually with better results to do blur or depth of field in post rather than Poser. However, if you are going to do it there, you might try setting Min-shading rate to 0 or 0.1 (or just lower than the default 1.0 Also bump Irradiance caching up to 75 or better 100% All this will increase the render time but usually work with. Pixel sampling should be increased to 4 or higher. A lot of the finer points of firefly rendering I am still learning myself but Blackhearted includes a very good tutorial on lighting with his GND4 (it is the readme pdf) and the tut is almost worth the price of the figure (which in my opinion is awesome). Hope this helps.

I think this came out great. Beautiful sense of motion too.

Great concept and execution!

Cool render, I got a feeling it's going to get pretty messey! I'm experimenting with DOF too. Increasing the pixel samples in the manual settings will smooth out those jaggies for you. The higher the number, the smoother it will be, but at a increased render time.

great action scene and posing.....lovely poser work....congrats!
densa
my only suggestion would be maybe to do the one scene first then bring it back into poser as a background and then do the second figure to get the blurred effect it seems when working in poser to light two images can be a real challenge great scene wonderful action my friend

Details and sharpness are perfect.
Darkwish
EXT work! Realy nicely done!
DarkWizard2
Nice depth of view. It does look forced, but I would say scale back on the depth for subtle variations in sharpness... unless you're going for the near and far away. Good render.

Great action image!

Love the feel of movement here! Very good DOF and point of view!
