Cam Depth of field

 

very new to all of this but is there way to have depth of field with the vitual cam in aximmetry? and cam focus distance is grayed out in pin values.

Yes, when you bring in you cooked unreal project, there is a camera focus distance input. You can drive that however you want. What is missing (due to Unreal limitation in "Set Members ...", in Camera blueprint) is a control for aperture. So you can drive distance but not the depth. You would set aperture in UE for now

Question: Where exactly would you set the aperture in UE?

Dear Aximmetry can you please answer mixmaxmax's question? We cannot find this anywhere and it has been asked in multiple posts now. Where can we adjust the aperture of a virtual camera?

Sorry for my stressed out reaction above from last night, crazy deadline coming up :x

I fixed it by editing the virtual cam blueprint:

To me its kinda strange that these lens parameters arent visible by default in Aximmetry, but I learned alot last night so thats cool. :)

Hi, as per your blueprint, the nodes appear, but can aximmetry share how to connect the nodes? Thanks

Hi Solovai,

Do you want these to be included by default in the Aximmetry camera compounds?

Note that we have this on our request list and we will consider adding it in future releases.

Warmest regards,

Hi,

Aximmetry 2025.2.0 BETA has just been released.
This update introduces general handling of camera aperture settings throughout the system:

  • Calibration Profiles now can contain a mapping between the raw Iris Encoder values and the F-number (called Aperture throughout the system). It can be edited in the Basic Calibrator app (or directly in the XML file).
  • Iris encoder value is read from protocols that support it. (Free-D officially does not support it, but some tracking systems like HTC Vive Mars use the spare "user" field for that purpose, and Aximmetry reads that.)
  • Some camera tracking systems and protocols are capable of sending the final aperture value (Canon CV Protocol, NCam, Trackmen, AGTP). In these cases this value is used.
  • For Virtual Camera paths, the aperture values can be defined for the A, B points both by mouse combination (Alt + Space + Right Mouse) or numerically.
  • Record_3-Audio: aperture is added as an animated user property to the FBX.

Warmest regards,
