Basic Depth of Field in Maya

A basic tutorial for Maya defining the attributes of the Depth of Field controls for a camera setup in Autodesk Maya from friend of the site Stuart Christensen.

“This super simple tutorial about camera Depth of Field (or, DOF) is a general explanation of the depth of field controls for any camera. This video is also a response to many questions I have received about the DOF settings. It is best to create a special “depth of field” camera to control specific parts of your scene if you need to rack focus or create a specific DOF camera effect.This tutorial by Stuart Christensen will introduce you to the “concept” of DOF, and show you some simple controls to create cool DOF renders! In a later tutorial, we will explore some various ways to better control this effect! So for now, just play around with the controls. Enjoy!”
