    Hey everyone!

    I am using the great trapcode’s Particular. in the scene where the objects explodes I set a camera to go stright ahead thru the partciles (in kind of a slow motion)

    My question is, how do I make DOF work ? I know ALL about DOF in still cameras and video. but no matter what settings I use in the camera layer , all particles in the view are still blurred (I want close to the camera particles to be blurred and fa away particles to be sharp.)

    thanks in advance !

    Have you adjusted the focus distance to match distance to the farther particles?

    Do you have Particular 1.5? It offers DOF.
