Chess DOF

[ZuluQ]

Hi, here is my test for DOF, still a lot to do specially textures, but i want to post it cause is the first image that i really like. I realize that nobody can play with this set of chess, all the pieces are of the same color :shock:

One question though, its normal that render times go crazy when one uses DOF?, cause normally this scene without DOF takes 5 min to render, but this one takes 143 min! :shock:

Any suggestion are more than welcome!

Anybody?

Very good...
...even if I would like a more dramatic blur:
For example a macro-shot (short distance to the figures) with blur on the first figures, sharpness set to one of the figures behind and a very strong blur in the background.

Yeap, i was testing something like that, but still in process.
Thanks for your comments :)

Has anybody testing DoF and get absurd render times? is it normal? or is just me?

[ZuluQ]
