Separating objects with DOF
Depth of field (DOF) refers to the range of distance in front and behind an element that appears acceptably sharp. To give an example, imagine that we want to focus on a tree but not on other elements of the environment, such as the house behind, the grass on the ground, the swimming pool, and other elements. In real world, with the correct combination of lens and aperture, it is possible to focus only on the tree and all the other elements will be out of focus. Lumion has a fantastic DOF effect very close to a real camera.
Getting ready
To test this recipe, it is essential that you have some objects in your project, and what would be especially useful is to ensure that the 3D models have different distances between them. Also, go to the Movie or Photo mode in order to apply this effect.
How to do it…
To add DOF to your project, perform the following steps:
Click on the New effect button and open the Camera tab.
Select the Depth of Field effect, and if you have some...
