Nuke - Realistic Depth of Field Defocus. Complete Guide for CLEAN edges!

Описание: Here's a complete guide to setting up ZDefocus and Bokeh to achieve realistic 'depth of field' (DOF) defocus effects for VFX and animation in Nuke.

Lets compare ZDefocus, Bokeh, PxF_ZDefocus and PxF_DeepDefocus nodes to see which one is the best tool for creating DOF effects with CLEAN edges and fast render times.

More information about PxF_ZDefocus here:
   • PxF_ZDefocus  

More information about PxF_DeepDefocus here:
   • PxF_DeepDefocus  
   • PxF_DeepDefocus - New features in v1.1
