Cedar Chest, A&C Bed and Limbert Table

[Dave R]

Here's something I've been playing with today. First experiment with limited DOF in KT2008.

I'm working on a real version of the cedar chest for my wife. It'll be in white oak and walnut. The Arts & Crafts bed, by Gary Rogowski is drawn, ready for dimensioning as are the Limbert tables. The lamps are modified versions of a lamp I found on 3DWH. Should probably have a thick, wool rug on the floor.

Thanks for looking.

Looks great! I've been thinking about giving that DOF thang a whirl when I think of a use for it. Any hot tips for a fellow first-timer?

[Dave R]

Thank you gentlemen.

Hot tips? Hmmm....get the chocolate cake with mint ice cream. Much better than the flan.

Oh, sorry. I don't know if they are hot tips. I set the focal length of the camera to 75mm, the aperture to 2.8 and because I think the aperture should be polygonal, I set it that way with 8 blades. Don't really know if that makes much difference in this case. Probably not.

Just play with it and be patient. Reduced DOF seems to increase render times substantially.

Good luck.
