Multi-Pass Rendering Effects

Cameras can create two kinds of rendering effects: depth of field and motion blur.

Motion blur applied to wings of the flying dragon

Multi-pass rendering effects use multiple renderings of the same frame, with slight camera movement between each rendering. The multiple passes simulate the blurring that film in a camera would register under certain conditions.

Although it is not a multi-pass effect, the drop-down list also lets you specify the depth-of-field value for the Quicksilver renderer.

Topics in this section
  • Multi-Pass Depth of Field Parameters for Cameras
    Cameras can generate depth-of-field effects. Depth of field is a multi-pass effect. Enable it on the Parameters rollout for cameras. Depth of field simulates a camera's depth of field by blurring areas of the frame at a distance from the camera's focal point (that is, its target or target distance).
  • Multi-Pass Motion Blur Parameters for Cameras
    Cameras can generate motion blur effects. Motion blur is a multi-pass effect. Enable it on the Parameters rollout for cameras. Motion blur simulates the motion blur of a camera by offsetting rendering passes based on movement in the scene.
