nothing much...

[eilsoe]

I made this because.. umm... well actually I wanted to fiddle some more with Depth of Field (DOF) in max, but ended up recreating it in PS7... :-\

I might use this as part of the general design of my site.. maybe...


It's not much, but it looks nice to me... nothing fancy...

pretty cool Eilsoe, I should try DOF in C4D, never done that before.

[eilsoe]

DOF can create many ultra realistic effects.. just try it...

slap on some real life textures, use a cam, and then DOF the livin' snot outta it... ;)

[mdipi]

how? i dont get what it is really...

[iLikePie]

he's just showing how u can use depth of field effects in max...

i'm not sure what you're asking mdipi... are you asking what depth of field is?

it's a technique used (esp in photography and film i think) to keep focus on certain elements, traditionally through the use of different lenses and zooms. You blur out the stuff you don't want in the background and/or foreground and keep the focus on one bit, so in eilsoes pic it's those blocks in the middle... it can work even better when there's a clear subject for the pic

dunno if that's what you wanted :p

exactly, Pie :)

altho this time I just rendered a clear image of my boxes, and manually added the DOF in photoshop...

[andr.in]

very cool! I think I figured it out how to make that in ps! ;)

[Kitiara]

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I hate him. :)

Eilsoe, you're too good for your own good, you know that? :beam: It's very cool.

[andr.in]

YEah I hate him too! he makes me feel so dumb and so can't-do-anything-in-ps-dumb! :angry: ;)

[eilsoe]

:blush:

sorry.....



All I did was render it clear, then duplicate the pic in ps to 2 layers, then the top layer I added a gauss blur, adn then added a mask layer TO it... Then a gradient clear-black-clear to erase some of the masked layer...

and voila... :)

[Kitiara]

He makes it sound so effortless! :sure:

[eilsoe]

well it IS! :P

[DDD]

yeah it is pretty simple a couple of clicks and adjust your camera. But it came out real nice....I like it

[eilsoe]

Doesn't matter how simple it is, as long as it comes out nicely :beam:

[DDD]

Amen to that....I love simple.

Actually you used photoshop to achieve your results. Not simple. It looks real cool you had me fooled. I guess I should have read the full post.
