Yet another Depth-of-field demo .

Download

Uses Render2texture and ShaderModel2.0
Have fun.

wow, cool! its a shame that this is pro only, i bet only 2% of users have pro... unless Sphere 3 can do something close

looks good!

yes yes.. looks nice. I like it

Very nice, it's not exactly similar to what I've made though. I'm still tweaking my depth of field fake. Mine has no scale blur in it though hehehe.
It's no critic, but this is also with a locked focus distance, that's a bit too bad.

Can you get the blur to become even smoother? Now it's quite obvious the objects are getting a 'fur scale blur', not a 2D post-processed blur. I'm sure you'll know what I mean, but here a picture:



Cheers

I think if anything looks wrong with ChrisB's blur, I wouldnt worry because hes increasing the blur just for the demo example. I guess its showing the extremes. Im sure a real game wouldnt have that amount of blur for too long in onscreen time. I like it so far.

Cant use it cause I have com Could you show some more toned down blur scale examples?

Nice Job!

that is really nice Chris, i LOVE it... too bad i dont have the Pro version

The kind of blur you are demoing ( showing us) could have a nice effect on "being hit" or "knowcked silly" man I wish I had pro! I want so dang badly! Looking great so far Chris, keep us posted on how it goes.

PheMox .. very nice screenshot

Thx for the comments.
There is a compiled exe in the download, so you can test it even without pro.

@PhemoX: What do you mean with "locked focus distance". You can change the focus with the slider. It doesn't use a fur shader fake. Your are right it is not a reall 2d postprocessing effect but it does exactly the same, the output is nearly the same.
I can make it smoother but this will slowdown everything .

its incredible slow on my ati something something 1.6ghz amd sempron. Looks like my depth of field effect with more than one view... I know I know... its a shader.
