Adjust depth of field
 
 
 

You can view the calculated distance of the camera from the object and apply that value to the Focus Distance for the camera to achieve Depth of Field effects in the Camera’s Attribute Editor.

For information on depth of field, see Focus and blur.

Note

To ensure the center of an object is in focus for Depth of Field

  1. Select the object in the view.
  2. Make sure Object Details is turned on in the Heads Up Display menu. (Object Details is on by default). Notice the Distance from Camera value.
  3. Use the Distance from Camera value as the Focus Distance value in the Depth of Field section for the current Camera.

    If you select multiple objects, Maya uses the center of their bounding box to calculate the distance from the camera.
