Q:
Ok, problem needs resolving with depth of view..If you have 3 objects 500
meters appart and you render the scence from the front so you see object
one to three. How do you prevent the camera from infinite focus - what I
want to do is not have three objects perfectly focused - and I dont
particularly want to feather the edges with something like photoshop to
achieve distance..
Can any one help please email me with suggestions - the manuals don't seem
to even touch the problem - I know that Real 3d had settings for this type
of thing!!!
Is there a camera setting without infinite focus like a standard I want to
focus on what I want and everything out of camera target area to be auto
out of focus..
