there’s a lense shader in Mental Ray that’s called “bokeh”, it can achieve a Depth of field and a cromatic aberation at the same time with outstanding results. But it takes crazy time to render ex: 20 min without bokeh/ 120 min with bokeh.
Is there a way to achieve the same effect in after effects if i have my zdepth pass? and if so, how exactly?
At my studio we achieve good looking DOF in post using AE + Frischluft Lenscare.
Its tricky to calibrate to your image occationally. We use the z data straight from an .rpf render output from 3dsmax.
