  • Depth of Field issue

    Posted by Eric Lochstampfor on October 9, 2018 at 9:29 pm

    Am following along this tutorial :
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr5tXeUyxqk&t=659s

    BUT Can’t seem to get the Depth of field to work in any way. Do not have Draft 3D on and have tried adjusting the blur level, Focus Distance and Aperture to very low to very high levels and no change at all. Have attached screenshots of my workspace and camera settings.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    Ae will not render depth of field with the CINEMA 4D renderer. Change it to the Classic 3D renderer in the comp’s settings for DoF (but of course you’ll lose extrusion, reflections, curved footage layers, and environment layers).
