Hello,
Is Dof on AR still impossible on Aximmetry with Unreal?
I'm using a tracked camera with a very long focal length (canon xj95x8.6b). The dof should be able to move in real time according to the zoom/focus of the camera. So the blur method won't work.
Thanks

Hi,
The new Aximmetry version 2024.2.0 BETA has been released. https://aximmetry.com/learn/software-version-history/#%E2%96%BA-Latest:%202024.2.0
This new version enables focus on AR objects, similar to how it works with other tracked cameras.
Warmest regards,
Hello Eifert,
Very good news, I do indeed get DoF when I zoom in on an object with my Panasonic UE150.
However, I haven't found how to set the parameters of this DoF (adjust the Fstop value for example) directly from Aximmetry Composer.
I also can't get the DoF to move according to the focus of my Panasonic.
Thanks
Hi,
You need to perform a focus calibration using the Basic Calibrator, or you can manually set the value. Both methods are explained in detail here: https://my.aximmetry.com/post/3383-ue-tracked-camera-focus-distance-with-pt
For more information on the Basic Calibrator, see here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/tracking/basic-calibrator/. Note that the calibration files from the Camera Calibrator can be used in the Basic Calibrator, so you only need to perform the focus calibration with the Basic Calibrator.
After this, you probably won't want to change the F-Stop value, but if you do, instructions are provided on how to do it with AR Unreal camera at the end of this thread: https://my.aximmetry.com/post/3884-virtual-images-are-out-of-focus

Hi,
Sadly, DoF is still not possible in AR with Unreal. However, we have it on our list and we will consider adding it in future releases.
Warmest regards,
