September 2024 - Daz 3D New User Challenge - Depth of Field and Canvases

iaunpom · September 28

I still need to do several details and retouching, but the framing and composition is almost ready, then the planning of the canvases and the assembly of the image layers. That in my head they seem almost as many layers and elements as a cake of 50 flavors.

The canvases are interesting, but for me, it has been difficult to achieve the result with the canvases, I am not used to it, I have experimented a lot and with the image presented mixed with the one I have continued to make, I would find a result close to the image I was looking for, it has been interesting and constructive.

Leaving aside the difficulty of not being able to render alpha canvases with selection groups, and having to render for each object or group of objects/elements in the scene and hide all the others to make the alpha canvases and then depending on the image edit, having to compose the alphas, I now have a guiding knowledge of the time it takes to make some complex compositions with the canvases.

Another difficult issue is that of depth of field, I decided to put the focus on the image of the female figure on the monitor, the image was a rendering of another scene, I decided to render the screen separately alone with a totally white HDRI and then compose it on top of the screen rendering with emissive surface properties, The emissive surface generates variations in the rendered image of the original according to the intensity of color, luminescence and I thought it made the image a little blurrier. The problem is that I don't know very well yet how to render the image of the screen in white HDRI so that the image is as sharp as possible, I tried with the value of 1 in the pixel I filtered and the image was quite sharp but the edges of the colors with the pixels very marked almost without blurring, but at normal size without enlargement it looked good enough. Perhaps there is a way to calculate the resolution of the texture map based on the render size and the space it occupies in the image and achieve the most appropriate sharpness.

Buena suerte a todos

I never worked with Affinity photo, so all I can offer is the result from a quick search. I had the impression this thread deal with some of the problems and offers more likns with solutions, I hope it helps:
