SD: That would probably work. However, that would mean 'biasing' and unbiased render. I have another render engine for that. =) Besides, for the time it takes me to do a proper composite, I'd rather let Octane rip for a couple of days while I do other things...like laundry, eating, watching tv, etc. =D
BB: You're very welcome. =D I hear you. Octane makes the once elusive DOF so accessible. Hard not to over use it. But I believe DOF as well as all the other elements such as textures, geometry, bumps, falloffs, (actually EVERYTHING)...ALL rely on 'scale' to make them look believable. Without scale, it's cartoon. Not that cartoons are bad. They are just not 'architectural'. Scale-Scale-Scale!!! (and more scale)
Thanks!
best,
O
ps. I can't wait to get back to this Villa project. Keep getting sidetracked with skyscrapers. Cool, but not as much fun.
