Thanks Gaeius

In Photoshop the Blur focal distance will help you focus the object that you based on the distance that PS is reading from the depth pass. So as long as you push further the far he will focus. The as i said before is where you control the amount of blur but sometimes you'll want to pussh it up just a litle bit on the blur so that doesn't get so undefined and can't do it in the lens blur menu. then after doing the blur, duplicate that blur layer, and youl'll see that the blur got a litle stronger, now start reducing the opacitty of the top one, seeing real time the blur getting stronger or weaker.

Anyone want to share more tips?:)

P.S: there 2 more images below showing the blur focal distance afecting the image using the depth pass (first focusing near objects- car and tree; 2nd focusing, midle objects - house; and 3rd focusing far away objects - back trees).

I dunno...Autodesk has become to big and they have the ability to buy themselves out of any stalemate.

They own pretty much all the big names in the CG industry like Max, maya, XSI, flint, Flame, Alias etc. but that being said the world is a changing place, take Microsoft for example, they are aiming at creating the best search engine and Google has it's sights on the best Operating system 😒

Back on topic for a sec.

Anyone checked out the tutorial vids on Nevercenter.com? There's a lot of them, they're good - and they're totally free. For those interested, Silo + those vids may prove a very affordable way of getting into poly/sub-d modeling.

Well, it's not apparent until you encounter a certain case...

Thanks for the coments guys

olishea: i think you're refering to the normal map beeing too strong right?I still can't control it 100% but i'm getting there, i hope...😄

TIG: i didn't know about that movie, specially 20 years ago... guess it's not such an original idea now. Anyway it made me curios about the movie (i'm a movie manic, i see everything that i can grab lol). Does it worth the rental?

I promisse my next image will be much "happier" 😉

I am sure they know that for a long time.
The interview of John Bacus is off course a sales talk.
He would never admit that the polycount thing indeed is an issue.

The thing is that it will probably take a lot of effort to fix it, and it would not be so visible to a lot of people.
But it is in their intrest to start working on it.
The people that use Sketchup on a daily basis in their jobs, like me, will feel a hugh difference.

I wanted the images to have a more dramatic look\mood and that's why i put the people and the sky in black and white to contrast with all the bright green around, didn't realizes that that could give a depressive tone to the picture...now i'm depressed...lol
Thanks for the 50 degres in field of view tip. Always learning 😉
