Hye,
Just a question or a proposition.
Can we use HRD informations to get bokeh effect in the DOF?? We know HDRI has high lighting information, why not try to combine it with the dof?:bounce:

Yes, that's the best way to do it.

Well first, how does one extract that "highlight" info from the hdri image within maya? Or is this something that must be done in Hdri shop?
Anyone?

I believe if you look at GIJoe from www.pixho.com, that is what he does with hdri imagery to make it work with the hdri highlight.

Because in my Hypershade, there is a surface shader with only the highlight in it, so he figured it out.

I think he explains it at his site, but if not, I'm sure he'll tell ya if you ask:)
