DOF issue

Support Lighting and Rendering
1

I’ve been trying to do some renders using cycles DOF settings in the camera area. Everything is to scale, using 2000 samples.

I am using an empty for a focus point (yellow striped ball) The aperature is set to radius, size .02. I even used photoshop to try and reduce this fringing I get on the edges of objects in the background when using DOF.

You’ll have to click on the pic to really see it. Is there anything I may be doing wrong?

Have you tried increasing samples? DOF generates alot more noise.

Have you tried increasing samples?

I’m already at a pretty high number … 2000

What is your anti-aliasing set to?

Post-processed DoF produces less noise, you might want to try it. Otherwise you’d have to increase the samples.
