DOF and transparency problems – Help !!
Hi all,
I have a simple scene consisting of a few planes with footage of blue screen talent mapped onto them. I’m trying to render my scene with depth of field.
Right now I have great depth of field for the other objects in the scene, but through the area of the plane that is transparent it’s not happening.I see from the manual that it’s actually not possible to combine both depth of field effects and material transparency. Is there any work around to this or another technique ? I have been experimenting with multi-pass, but still no luck.
Cheers,
Andy -

There’s a plugin called ZBlur that’s supposedly able to avoid this problem. I don’t have it but I hear only good things about it. https://www.3dattack.net/shop/index.php?plugin=5
Otherwise you would have to do it in post, and that would involve rendering a separate depth pass without your transparent objects hidden. Even then it would be hard to deal with reflections on transparent objects.
