How to add depth of field using a normal camera (MatineeCam)?


So I want to have a slight blur to everything behind the red line, how do I achieve this with a regular gameplay camera?

I tried messing with the depth of field options under post processing in camera settings but I can’t see any effect :frowning:

these are the settings i changed under DOF, but no effect

Is there a value called “aperture”?
I’m afk right now so I can’t check it directly.

In photography, lenses with a wide aperture (1.2 - 1.8 - 2.8) have a larger DOF, while narrow apertures (5.6 up to 32) are kinda flat.

If you can’t find the parameter you might want to try a CineCamera, since the basic Camera component is pretty limited.

Hey @Karthanok!

To add a bit more to what @Ares9323 explained, aperture would be under camera in post processing.
