I'm unable to make the DOF indicator work, under Maxwell Studio.
Is this only a problem of mine, or also somone else is experimenting this problem?

No red and blue indicators and no numerical data here too. Should be a known issue. Not shure if we can expect this to be corrected anytime soon as NL seem to focus (!) on the plug-ins these days.

I notice another problem.... even if the model scale and maxwell studio scale are correct and FD etc. are correct, I'm completely unable to have DOF to work.
I always obtain clean images, with everything on focus, even if I don' use autofocus.

Hm. DOF blurs beautifully here. You use appropriate aperture settings?

Yes I do, also using a 50mm FL, 2,8 Fstop, and shutter between 60 and 500, I don't have any dof effect.
Also the model scale is correct.
:(

Depends a lot on your scene. What are your min and max distance object to camera? With a 50mm lens infinity begins pretty soon..
Make some tests with a wide depth range scene and try different lenses. It is working..
