So I am unable to get the near field blur I wanted.
When I change the camera current aperture to 1.4, I can see the near field blur kick in. (just what I am looking for). But when I leave the field edit. The value jumps back to 2.8 and the near field blur disappears.
There is only one camera actor in the scene, no post processing volume, exposure is set to ‘manual’
Camera Lens settings have minimal F-stop at 1.0 and max at 22. So I expected that I could have a lower aperture than 2.8.
Changing aperture in post processing does not affect the depth of field.
I have tried everything that I can possibly think of, is there any project settings or any magic, you all can think of to help me out, to get the near field blur.
Exactly same problem here…
Did you found how to solve this ?
I guess it’s a setup with “Cine Camera Rig Rail”.
When i unlink the camera with the rail, curent aperture works fine, but if i put the camera as child, it is locked at 2.8 value…
Would be great to have an answer if anyone knows about this
Bit of a Necro-post, but I was having the same issue including focal length, which whenever I would edit it it would just snap back to a default of 35mm, but I was able to solve it.
the Cine Camera Rig Rail actually inherits the Attachment’s (i.e Camera’s) settings by default. It’s my understanding that the individual points on the rail can actually control (e.g. keyframe) the Camera settings so that any Camera attached to the rail with automatically adopt the settings, but also the settings can be animated on the rail points. I’m not really sure how to do that though as I haven’t had the time to explore that further.
Anyway, to make sure your rail doesn’t inherit the camera settings so you can just adjust them on the camera itself like we usually do, simply select your CineCameraRigRail and in the Details panel go into the Attachment section and uncheck the parameters you want to adjust on the camera itself
In the above image, I’ve unchecked all the Camera settings and I was able to modify focal length, aperture, focus distance manually on the CineCam as usual.
