Hi Guys,

I hate to interrupt the peaceful crickets sound here in the OSX forum but could anybody tell me if DoF is working in Studio? I've been searching posts but can't find any specific answers although I've seen the question asked a couple times. My "visual focus indicator" shows no red or blue rings and depth info as pictured in the manual. Just the yellow focal point. I've tried all sorts of scale and fstop combinations but no luck. Anybody?

Just in case anyone is curious, DoF does work. My model scale, although correct in LW and C4D, was read too large in Studio. Once I changed the Scale geometry variable from 1.000 to 0.050 I started to see relatively correct effects. Still no "visual focus indicator" except for the little square turning yellow or black but that might all change in the new release.

hi

just curious

how does one determine whether scale is off??

When I work in Cinema 4d in cm, will I be fine in Maxwell?

Or how do I go about?
I'm just not sure...

cheers

I have just learned from another thread that Maxwell treats everything in Meters.

So cm in cinema 4d should have a scale factor of 0,01 (cm -> m) in the Maxwell Plugin

I think the only way you can tell is by starting with the lens/settings you would use in the real world and see what happens when you render. Hopefully I've been doing something wrong and it'll work fine for you because it just doesn't seem to matter what unit I use in C4D, everything appears too large in studio.

Try starting with a daylight scene and use a 1.4 fstop and 1/4000th shutter (55mm lens, 100 ISO). This should give an extreme effect. If not (as was my case) then start scaling your objects down in Studio.

Good luck.
