CGTalk - DOF in Multipass

Probably a real easy answer again, but in C4D 7 XL, I am trying to get the DOF to show up in my Multipass file, but it only appears when i render the view, and not when rendered in the Picture viewer. The depth channel that i have selected doesn't even show up in the PS file, huh? :shrug:

And yes, I have DOF and Enable post effects both checked in the Render effects dialog box :D

Thanks again,

Paul

You also have to have DOF turned on in the render camera. Then you should get the z buffer channel, but since DOF is a post effect it isn't available in multipass.

Hi Adam, I guess that explains it. I could get my selected camera to give me a DOF efffect when I rendered it in the editor area, but not the Picture viewer when Multipassed, oh well:shrug:

Thx for the quick reply!
