Depth of Field problems.

#1

Hi there.

I’m using frischluft DOF with ae, and cinema4d as my 3d package.
My problem is:

When I use fruschluft with depth pass on a scene with background elemets, foreground elemts and focus elements, some edges start to create weird artefects like noises and black pixels. That is really very irritating.

I’m asking what I can do to correct this problem.

Thank you.

You apply the DOF on the pre-composed whole set, not the individual layers. Incorrect Alpha processing and lack of background bleed is a common problem with any DOF post effect. also make sure to render the depth with correct ranges and ideally without antialiasing, so each pixel has the correct depth value, not a smoothed mix of neighboring values.

I’ll try these and reply back as soon as possible.

Seems like your depth map is off indeed. If white is your “infinite range” color, make sure you’re setting up the alpha correctly on the depth map, since it’s default black iirc.
