Paula Brown on Second Life Animesh Baby Review.
#BLACK DRAGON SECOND LIFE WINDOWS 10#
This is still not perfect but with a tiny bit of camera finetuning and unlocking the focus point and moving it a tiny itsy bit back via mouse and locking it there (both options found in Dragon – My Useful Features – Shortcuts) you can make this a really nice DoF shot.Īdvanced Experience Tools Animation Animesh ARC Avastar Avatar Bento Clothes Content Creation Deformer Drax Files Drax Radio Ebbe Altberg EEP Events Fitted Mesh Google Chrome JIRA Linden Currency Mesh Mesh Body Mesh Tutorial MetaReality Net Neutrality News Articles on SL nVidia Oculus photography Photoshop Problems Review SANSAR Second Life Second Life Places Second Life Tech Problems Second Life Viewers Sex SL 2.0 Slink ToS Tutorials Viewer Tutorial Virtual World News VR Windows 10 Popular Posts Notice how the blur artifacts around the ears vanish, it did lower the blur strength a bit but you can counteract that by playing with the other settings and then tuning CoC again.Įxample of extreme DoF with little to no artifacts: In addition to that you can also enable the oldschool High Quality Depth of Field (if your GPU can handle it) which is much stronger and much more accurate, changing the Circle of Confusion is an absolute key component to have a smooth Depth of Field blur from front to back.
You can find the option in Preferences – Display – Depth of Field. You can find the option in both the Machinima Sidebar at the top or Preferences – Display – Depth of Field.īD also now offers the ability to toggle front blur off if you just want to blur behind the focus point, pretty helpful for closeup super blurry Depth of Field shots where the Avatar you are trying to shoot gets blurred too. This feature was solely added because prior to EEP alpha on surfaces were ignored in depth and caused these huge blur errors. The DoF pictures that show the messed up stone through the window is an issue that only happens if you ignore alphas in depth, Black Dragon offers an option to include or exclude alphas from Depth of Field, sometimes its better to include them, sometimes its worse but now with EEP i’d generally say its better to keep it on now that both depth reliant features (Volumetric Lighting and Depth of Field) no longer produce large solid squares in air since their alpha is now treated properly. Freeze World can also be found in the Snapshot window but its much quicker to do it via shortcut.Ĭombine this with the already mentioned Slow Motion Animations and its really easy to get the exact pose, i’d recommend opening an animation (any, doesnt matter) and use the Speed control there, it’s global and even allows you to go backwards in case you missed the perfect moment rather than waiting again for the right moment to appear, setting it to 0.0 also allows directly freezing the animation, so keeping it around 0.1 around the time you think your perfect pose happens is a good way to get it right quite reliably. Makes it easier to get a perfect shot even of moving objects, not just avatars. You can also globally freeze the world -> Ctrl + Alt + F. (Notice the circled icon in the image below.) Or you can open it from the menu, Dragon->My Useful Features->Poser. Drag the Poser button to the left, right, or bottom of the screen and drop it. To open the Poser you can add a button, just right-click an on-screen button to open the Toolbar Buttons panel. I use the Poser to freeze the avatar in place. Black Dragon is prefect for capturing an image and associated depth map.
Understand the image and the depth map have to match perfectly for the parts you want in focus. Black is in-focus (near) and white is max out-of-focus (far away). How does one use the Depth feature?įirst let’s look at a depth map.
With the Linden Viewer you have to be saving to disk for the Color/Depth option to work. This is the Depth Map setting in Linden, Firestorm, and Black Dragon So, Firestorm or Black Dragon or the Linden Default Viewer. It is easier to use a viewer that has the feature. You can create Windlight settings that will create a depth map too, but that is a PITA. This image raised some questions in the SL Forum thread How does your avatar look today? (About 1,300 pages) Mostly, I think, because I pointed out I did the Depth of Field out of focus thing using Photoshop with a Black Dragon Depth map.
