I'm trying to simulate a tilt shift effect on basis of a distorted photo and animated camera focal depth by keyframes.
When rendering a single frame everything works fine.
But when rendering as a movie in the carrara render room it doesn't work.
What settings do I miss?

Hi Lecube,
Perhaps you have tried this, but you may want to:
-place an invisible object (sphere) or Target Helper Object in your scene at the location you want your camera focus.
-Then select your camera and give it a Point At Modifier.
-In the Modifier drop down, select the object.

Don't no really know what you mean by "But when rendering as a movie in the carrara render room it doesn't work."? What doesn't work?

You are using an old version of the plugin. Please try installing the latest version and let me know if the problem is still there.

Updated and .....problem solved! Thanks.

By the way (changing topic here): when closing the Carrara scene before closing the Octane render window carrara crashes, every time.
No big deal since I can change the order of closing the windows but.....maybe there is a reason I don't see and I can fix this.

....and I thought I was the only one. Yes, crashes on close unless I exit the Octane viewport first.
Like you, not a big deal, but was curious as to why.
