Why does Camera blur from Depth of Field look grainy?
I have some basic extruded text in Ray-traced 3D comp. The text, a light, a camera. Everything looks good except when I turn on the Camera’s Depth of Field. Then when the Aperture is set to above zero, the blur/out of focus sections look very grainy and not smooth at all. It almost looks like sand particles. What can I do to make the depth of field more natural and smooth (like a camera). I’ve never had this happen before.
CS6 on a PC.
Thanks.

Never mind. I think I finally figured it out – that it’s the Ray-traced 3D quality that makes it grainy. I had it set down to 3.
But, while I’m working on this. What’s an acceptable render out quality without taxing the the system too much. Like I could ever 64 but that’s probably too much. 16? 32?
Thanks.

Really it depends on the computer, however, a ray traced level of ten is the starting point for final output quality in my opinion. Anything higher will produce better results, but may be too taxing on your system.
