  • Trapcode Form Depth of Field

    Does anybody know how to enable depth of field on Trapcode Form. I’ve tried but it wont show. I have some strings that come close to the camera and I want them to be blurred.

    A few things control the look of the depth of field:

    – In Form, make sure that the particles are such that they support DOF (couple of particle types are “no DOF”), then that the Render Mode has DOF.

    – In AE, you need to have a camera that has DOF turned on and you may need to open the Aperture to see the effect more clearly.

    Anybody knows if there is an expression (checkbox) to switch from Full “Render Quality” to “Preview” in order to downgrade the quality (preview time).
