FXtree DOF 2004-06-02 - By Christian Rittener

Thinking about switching from Digital Fusion to the FXtree when XSI 4 is
released? my first slightly advanced test in 3.5.1 is not encouraging. IMHO,
the DepthOfField node is badly implemented.
- "Focus Preview" is a nice touch, but switch it off, and 9 times out of
10, your focused region goes blurred. Bug? physically correct? in any case,
not an easy, predictable response.
- Why no "Focus Plane" slider? trying to keep an area in focus while
playing with the "Near Focus" and "Far Focus" is just about impossible
(furthest point in my scene: ~1600). Z multiplier doesn't help.
- Because of that, simulating Hyperfocal Distance is impossible.
- Which film size are we talking about when setting the "Focal Lenght"?
I also find it hard to do color correction compared to DF. Comments from
other XSI and DF users out there?
Thanks,
Christian Rittener
