When using an angular camera that is more open, it is best to never use the DOF, but the smaller the lens, the more closed, the more the Depth of Field effect positively highlights your image!
To use this effect in 3Ds Max is very simple, just follow these steps:
- With the camera you want to use this effect selected, slide the sidebar until you find the DOF & Motion Blur tab
- In Depth of Field select the option Enable and Override Focus
- Select that the focus is on the object, for that select object
- On the button next to it that says none, select it and try to select the object you want to be the focus.
Ready that way the focus of the camera will already be on the selected point! And the rest around you will have a level of focus.
Here’s an example of this effect:

he Depth of Field effect is a technique used in photography and cinema to highlight the main subject of a scene by blurring the background or secondary elements. This technique creates a sense of depth and three-dimensionality in the image, while directing the viewer’s gaze to the point of interest.
There are several reasons to use the Depth of Field effect, including:
- Highlighting the main subject of the scene: By blurring the background or secondary elements, the main subject gains more prominence and importance in the image.
- Creating a sense of depth: The Depth of Field effect helps create the perception that the image has different planes and layers, making it more interesting and immersive.
- Controlling the viewer’s attention: By highlighting the main subject and blurring the background, the Depth of Field effect can help direct the viewer’s attention to the point of interest in the image.
- Creating an aesthetic effect: In some situations, the Depth of Field effect can be used to create a more artistic and visually interesting image.
In summary, the use of the Depth of Field effect is an important tool for photographers and filmmakers who want to control the composition of the image and create a sense of depth and three-dimensionality.
