Auto Focus on animated object and depth of field

[RSgraphics]

Hey Octane friends,

I'm trying to use depth of field on my scene, however, the object i want in focus moves in all directions including Z. How do i get octane to stay focused on the moving object while applying depth of field?

I hope its a good question

Hi RSGraphics, just put your object to follow into Camnera Object > Object tab > Focus Object slot. The camera will then stay focused on that object.

Hi JayRoth

Im rendering right now but i cant wait to check it out! thanks!

One concern though, I dont want the camera to move, i just want the depth of field to adjust automatically to keep the moving object in focus. Hopefully i'll have that option.

I'll let you know how it goes but first i have to let my test render finish.

Thanks again!


I just read the HELP in C4D and what you said should work. The camera wont move, only the focal distance will change. I'm looking forward to testing it.

Thanks again, again.
