Final Render & Dof – Step 4

Let’s move on step 4 of the 5-Step Render Workflow® .

My idea is to it simply set it by eye. Actually this is a consequence of a mathematical relation.

Look at this short video and see how to compensate exposure with shutter speed

CONCEPTS

closer framing reduce the depth of field;

higher focal leght reduce the depth of field;

lower f numbers reduce the depth of field;

lower f numbers also increase the incoming light;

compensate with higher shutter speed values;

move the target the move the focus point;

use “specify focus” to determine the focus point with a distance from camera.

Here some simple slides to repeat the process. Click on the image below

THE NOISE THRESHOLD PARAMETER

For the final render the setting in 5SRW is really easy, especially if you saved the presets suggested in the
Lesson#2. If you didn’t yet I warmly suggest to create these useful presets to speed up your work!

So, load the “FINAL” preset then click render! The main ‘valve’ to control the overall definition of your
render is the Noise threshold. As suggested, in the Step-4 we modify it from 0,01 to 0,005. Notice the
difference in th floor’s grainy

In 5SRW 0,005 is indicated as good value for the final render.

In the Chos Group online guide, you can read that the suggested values for Noice Threshold are in a
range 0,005-0,003. Be carefull with this value because under 0,005 render time increases drammatically.
