Pontari Productions' DOF_Blur
Copyright 1997 Pontari Productions. All rights reserved.
This is a plugin image filter for LightWave 5.0 It implments a Depth Of
Focus filter effect by using NULL objects to set the focus area and then
bluring area's outside of that focus area.
Copy the correct version(x86 is for Intel, alpha is for Dec Alpha
platforms) to your plugins directory. Then you need to add it to
Layout using the "Add Plug-ins" button on the Options panel. This
will add a new image filter called
DOF_Blur
To the Effects->Image Processing_Image Filter Plug-ins panel.
With it you pick a near and a far object for the focus.
Objects before the near are blured, objects after the far are blured.
If you don't pick an object that field won't be used.
The Depth of focus area is the amount of ramp up or down before
reaching the full level of blur you specify.
The amount of blur is really the size of the convolution.
That's it.
The source is also avaiable in case your interested, check our web pages
for details.
