Well the thing is that you can see that maxwell units change if you change Maya units, so if you change maya units to meters , Maxwell units change to meters as well (you can see it in the camera attributes) but doesn't make DOF.
I have also realised that if you play with units (change maya units from cm to m) the focal distance gets mad , so I think maybe the bug can be in the focal distance .

iker - I get that we should work in CM in Maya. But that is a much different statement than saying we should scale all geometry down by .01 to get correct DOF. We should always be working in CM in Maya (as far as Maxwell is concerned) you'll notice that if you do change your working units, All kinds of scale factor nodes show up all over the place - so, again, yes we do want to work in CM - But are you saying, in addition to working in CM, we need to scale the scen by .01? I thought 1 CM = 1CM, but then again, maybe that's why I have DOF problems

Hey guys,

Just posted a test on the sample file and included the scene file for download under jep's post in the bug reports forum.

Hope this helps us understand what is going on

abgrafx3d, thanks for posting things that actually help figure out if/why there is a bug
great investigative work, much respect!

btw tom, your post here is one of the first posts i have seen from you that actually makes no sense and offers no insight. perhaps you should stick to things you know (max and glass) and stop posting just to bash, or maybe i just dont understand turkish humor

sidenimjay, if i have maya one day i would find a solution for you.
but you can't criticize me about not being able to find a solution yet.
because i'm not using maya, can you understand me?
...and you're driving me away from this thread... well done bro!
about max and glass? i won't comment this... your words tell it all
btw/ are you different than other LA people? i was not joking and you
don't need a sense of humour, you're really going mad day by day...
you cannot solve your maya problem with shouting. i know you're a great
professional and i cannot believe in your words sometimes...
why don't you try to calm down?

[sidenimjay]

well tom , what exactly were you saying with your first post in this thread about me then?

your fisrt post said "oh no sidenmijay gone mad hahahaha" how the f**k does that help anyone in this forum?

how was that intended to further the discussion of how to solve this dof bug? i dont see how that was even a remote stab at trying to assist, it was at best a lame effort to bash me .

know that you have produced some nice images, and that they were all from 3d studio max not maya, i assume that you dont have maya or have not had the fun of dealing with it. thats where i get the max and glass comment. you dont personally know me, so therefore you cant say shI* about me, and any mental state that i may or may not be in.

tis fine with me and at least a couple others if you left this thread alone, as so far nothing you have posted to it has benefited this thread anyway

the annoyance that elicited my post is the assumption (and it is just that), that had you posted this thread tom or if it was about Max, im sure NL would have responded swiftly or at least given some sort of comment. this in not the first post on the subject, and whomever is in charge of writing the mayall plugin should be at least watching the maya forum and responding as needed, this is one of those posts that required attention from someone/anyone involved with the mayall plugin, as jep was not the only one to experience this problem.

we(those that use the mayall plugin) have paid for our copies of maxwell also, so we deserve at least a breath from the mayall team

seems a few posts and some people asking you to come back after you were asked to stop posting by some, has gone to your head.

dang this is all SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO f'ing confusing

he said she said i did u did we did damn

and still not one reply from an NL rep or a mayall rep WHAT GIVES HERE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARE WE LESS IMPORTANT, cuz we use the high end software?????????????????????????????????????????

HOW BOUT SOME ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OR AT LEAST A POST SAYING hey all were are looking into this now!

come on, im goin frickin crazy here

before i write it, you wrote the above and i'm stupid that i just wanted to
make you calm down, but i see you're working with money=nobug.
IMO, it's not polite shouting at NL team just because you've paid it!
You must try a bit tolerant to the people. You always like to say
"I'm this, I'm that"... Look brother, I have a great respect to you and
maybe I am a BIG NOTHING for you but you're definitely not polite
and friendly to me. Being one of a damn professional is not the thing!!
Do you understand? You must deserve to be respected at first.
I'm broken now because I am a human before all this 3d stuff.
Even you tell the thing that there's no usefull answer here in this
thread, does the only thing was my respond which is killing?
Oh come spit on me, chew me, do what you want on me!
Are you done now?

[tom]

yeah please forgive me sidenimjay

"I am a human before all this 3d stuff"

Peace
