Link: Depth of Field (DS) Tutorial

Here you go
I tried to write it for DS beginners, explaining the most basic things.

Well, it`s the first tutorial I ever wrote, and I am no native speaker, so I hope it`s readable.

thanks for that tutorial ..Every bit of info I can get is awesome, I finally understand DOF, also checked out your galleries the renders of the roman bath are fantastic!!

thanks for the DOF tutorial!
For some reason, info on DOF just REFUSES to stick in my head. LOL. I usually just use some settings theSea posted once, and turn on the dof - comes out good. But to do it myself, I just can't grasp it.

I didn't know that bit about "framing" the bit I wanted in focus! That was valuable info in itself!!!

And I cannot wait till Mountail Trail hits the store cos that one I will be definitely getting. :D

Hehe, the short version would have been "frame it and turn DoF on"
Well, glad it helped you guys a bit!

these look brilliant! I'm not interested in the winter one as I don't do winter scenes at all - having never seen snow in my life, it just doesn't grab me to render it. LOL. However, the mountain trail one grabbed me completely and I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Wake me when the mountain trail is released - I'll be jumping on that for sure!!!

same.. waiting

Pendraia, looks great already, I like how the wheels of the cart are sunken deeply into the snow. And it`s nice how it kinda tells a story, I mean, the set pieces make sense. Please update with the final version when you have it !

Thanks...I want to change what the man on the horse is wearing and a couple of other fiddly bits like turning on shadows for the trees.

I'll be sure to post it when it's finished.


Thanks for the tutorial on depth of field!

Pen

The new Coming set (MT) is SO going to be in my Primitives Project, I'm setting up Snow for it right now. Much needed sets for what I have planed.

Thanks for the tute. Finally someone mentioned F-Stop as in smaller number means smaller focus area, larger number means more is blurred. Thank you especially for that. Usually we're told "this is the slider for F-Stop if you're a photog you know what it means". LOL

hehe, almost
smaller F/Stop value = smaller focus area = more blur

What primitives project Jade? Got me curious, any link?

Pfew, I`ve been a bit worried Daz might have forgotten about the release and went home for Christmas...but no, it`s
released now

Now we just need a pack saddle for the DAZ Horse 2.

You made me think of a mass scene there, caravan with pack mules and all Could look pretty cool.

Hot diggity, my folks now have away to get over that pass to the Hunting grounds on the other side.
