Hi,

Having an issue with blurry or out of focus objects rendered in Octane. In the photo the VFX chrome and grey balls, the brick cube and the statue are Maya objects and they are blurry. The fences and backyard houses are an static Image Plane.


Kernel - Path Trace, default settings
Environment - Texture Image with HDRI sky dome of my back yard

Camera - Set to use image plane as background, with Depth of Field disabled. I've also tired it enabled with no luck

Any ideas? Any changes to the Kernel that need to happen?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hello Jeff,

Please try setting the Camera `Aperture` value to 0 and see if it works!

cheers
Kind Regards

Yes, that did the trick. I opened up the Octane settings on the camera object. Opened up the Thin lenses camera, since that is what I am using and set the Aperture to zero.

Really appreciate the tip!

Thanks,
Jeff
