hi guys and girls,
while reading this great article from Bertrand Benoit , http://bertrand-benoit.com/blog/2015/01 ... aphic-look
I wonder about how to make anamorphic bokehs in octane ? (c4d)

I'm new to Octane, so it's completely possible that there's a way to do it, and I just haven't explored it yet...

But the way I'll probably do it, is not render with depth out of Octane, and instead export a depth pass.

Then I'll feed that pass into the After Effect plugin frischluft: http://www.frischluft.com/, which processes bokeh and depth very quickly.

Hopefully someone else more experienced might have a built-in solution for you!

many thanks for reply
do you know any good tutorial that explain how to use render passes of octane ?

I know that Octane is getting more support with passes, but since your geometry dictates the depth pass, I'd just use the camera in whatever software you're using (unless it's the Octane standalone...), and then use that for comping. In my case, that's C4D, so I'd render a separate render that's just the depth pass after exporting from Octane.
