Can’t preview Depth of Field
Hi!
I think it’s rather a silly question, with one-click-answer, but I JUST CAN’T sort it out (gooogled of course – still nothing).
I’m using Depth Of Field enabled camera, and… just can’t preview this depth. When I render my composition – the bluriness on out-of-foucus layers apears as it should, but when I’m composing – every layer is sharp. It’s like composing totally blind!!!
I suspect there’s a tiny little switch, which should be pressed somewhere out there, but I can’t find it. I was looking in Preferences and Project Settings and can’t find anything! It’s so frustrating! Please help me.
(Of course the ‘Depth Of Field’ option in ‘Camera Options’ is set to ‘On’)

Is your viewer set to “Active camera” (versus one of the orthographic views or a custom view)?
Do you have Draft 3D (
) unchecked above your timeline?Walter Soyka
