Camera Lens Blur
Posted by Adam Forbes on October 3, 2012 at 12:20 amI’m using Camera lens blur with a Zdepth pass from C4D. But when I apply it it gives a big halo around the things that should actually be in focus.

October 3, 2012 at 4:32 amCan you post a shot of your depth pass?
C4D requires a bit of work to get a proper depth pass — it’s really a blur map (black is sharp, white is blurry). If you want a depth pass, you need to set the C4D camera’s focus distance beyond the last, deepest object in your scene, and set the front blur to before the first, shallowest object in your scene.
C4D’s front blur and rear blur are measured relative to the target distance.

Have you tried Frischluft Lenscare instead of Camera Lens Blur?
