I made this because… umm… well actually I wanted to fiddle some more with Depth of Field (DOF) in max, but ended up recreating it in PS7… :-\
I might use this as part of the general design of my site… maybe…
It’s not much, but it looks nice to me… nothing fancy…
fake DOF in photoshop / A-rev design prospect

DOF can create many ultra realistic effects… just try it…
slap on some real life textures, use a cam, and then DOF the livin’ snot outta it…

he’s just showing how u can use depth of field effects in max…
i’m not sure what you’re asking mdipi… are you asking what depth of field is?
it’s a technique used (esp in photography and film i think) to keep focus on certain elements, traditionally through the use of different lenses and zooms. You blur out the stuff you don’t want in the background and/or foreground and keep the focus on one bit, so in eilsoes pic it’s those blocks in the middle… it can work even better when there’s a clear subject for the pic
dunno if that’s what you wanted

Well, I don’t know about anyone else, but I hate him.
Eilsoe, you’re too good for your own good, you know that? :beam: It’s very cool.

sorry…
All I did was render it clear, then duplicate the pic in ps to 2 layers, then the top layer I added a gauss blur, adn then added a mask layer TO it… Then a gradient clear-black-clear to erase some of the masked layer…
and voila…

Doesn’t matter how simple it is, as long as it comes out nicely :beam:

Amen to that…I love simple.
Actually you used photoshop to achieve your results. Not simple. It looks real cool you had me fooled. I guess I should have read the full post.
