The Best Add-on for Photoreal Lens Simulation in Blender?

Was only a matter of time before someone would drop something like this. Finally.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

@@HideyoshiR Indeed. As far as I understand, it became feasible after Blender devs introduced the Ray Portal node in Cycles, this whole 'bending the rays efficiently' thing.

[@kritzstudio]

Imagine walking into B&H in Manhattan with just $40 and walking out with 43 lenses. It's the dream of anyone in photography or filmmaking who works with Blender!

[@The3Dsmash]

Jack, you were the one who started this whole lens simulation thing. I'm proud to own your lens bundles and it's awesome to see you be a part of the group that's continuing the lens sim "movement". This new addon is really exciting - thank you for contributing your anamorphic lens to this long list in the Lens Sim addon! Looks really good and the images are resolving so quickly for that kind of photographic quality.

[@JackToth]

@@The3Dsmash Thanks man, I def made a hard push for community members to see the importance of real DOF, but found out (foolishly this year) that no I was not the 'first' to experiment with the physical lens modeling ideas, just seemed to be the first to publish kits for other users to be able to use and find easily. I think there were quite a few before but they didn't seem to publish kits or research anywhere easy to find. When I came in contact with Havard over discord in June, he had already been independently experimenting with this new approach for ray steering and I was blown away, so seems best fit to offer my full support on His method and His work going forward with its advantages over physical modeling limits with Blender's 32-bit floating point error limits! This addon is a dream come true and has a great future for community contributed lens stack databases and more so I'm excited to see its popularity skyrocket!

[@VFX]

my mind can't comprehend the amount of math and work behind this it's insane!

Been waiting for this for a looooong time. The previous addons were mainly hindered by requiring higher samples etc, but the ray portal bsdf has definitley done wonders on optimizing this effect.

[@Coco-xi9hq]

This is awesome and what a steal for the price. purchased =] I spent some time playing with cameras and lenses and it's had a huge impact on my understanding of setting up scenes in blender. The total worth of all of those lenses is more than any of us can afford haha.

[@jongudmunsen7913]

WOW! Never thought we'd have something quite as realistic as this! Cannot wait to use this! Great video as always Gleb!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

I couldn't wait to share it with you. Since we began testing it, it was clear to me that it's a huge step for Blender (and not only) in the direction of truly photorealistic rendering. There's still a few issues, workflow-wise, to be thought about, like how to marry it with a proper multi-pass compositing, but I'm sure the author of the add-on has a roadmap for that.

[@quartzHUN]

Awesome, but will there be more lens profiles added in the future? There is a tutorial on how to set up your own lens profile, but it could be a lot of work. There are only vintage lenses available, which is nice to have, but some of us work in the VFX field with Arri, Zeiss, and Sigma lenses. Adding popular ones would also be a good idea.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Definitely a great idea! I haven't seen a roadmap of features that Håvard plans to add, so it could be worth asking the author! I'm sure he has something drafted :)

[@cyrkielnetwork]

Modern lenses are very advanced, so it must be much harder to add them. On the other hand they are more and more perfect which means they are more and more similar to virtual cameras. So if you reduce "defects" of old lenses you will get essentialy same results.

[@leonidaltman]

I believe the first step, and likely the most difficult, is to find patents for those lenses.

[@Vlow52]

I have a collection of vintage lenses, and I really love shooting with them. The problem is, you can't separate flares and how flares work if you want to achieve the vintage feeling. It's a compact package, if you want to say it like that. Maybe I'll give it a try, but for me it's a must, honestly. Anyway, a very welcome add on!!

[@DerekGoveDesign]

Having used Lightwave in the past, there is one feature that is glaring in it's absence. There needs to be a checkbox, active by default, labelled 'Lenscap.' Until it is deactivated/removed, all renders should be black. ;)

[@lucaswild6533]

Thanks for this Gleb. FYI - tilt-shift's primary use in the real world is for architectural photography, where it is used to compensate for perspective distortion, which is exaggerated when an image is framed in a magazine layout. The shift in focus is really just a side effect and in real life the aperture is generally set wide open so that the depth of focus is not an issue. More on the link below (just a quick Google search I did - I'm sure you'll find you're own material if you're interested...). At around 1:00 you'll see an original old school shift and tilt. These believe it or not are still the gold standard for architectural photographers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2qcYWyOeqeooc0si=U6ew34MKwzZXO6yB

If you are having issues with crashing rendering, try removing the CPU as a CUDA rendering device, so its primarily relying on the GPU for rendering, i think this will save the CPU alot of effort and prevent crashing.. I think this will help!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Makes sense. A shorter, more straight-to-the-point tutorial would be much appreciated, right?

[@cyrkielnetwork]

There are tutorials about simulation real lenses in Blender. The magic of this addon is how fast it's working. If you make just lens it will work, but it will be very slow.

@GlebAlexandrov The realtime performance in your video was spectacular! What graphics card do you have? (I already bought the add-on but don't have the time to test it out for the next 3 days :'D) The only thing that's missing is lens flares right? Do you have any information from the dev what / if he's updating / adding anything?

@@kuhantilope5927 I have RTX 2080TI :) As for lens flares: yeah that would be a separate product, imho. I don't have any info on whether it's something that the dev is planning to add.

How can I use this plugin effectively in the architectural field. It would be nice if the tilting feature could be set automatically as in the photographer 5 plugin.

[@KonstantinGuryanov]

Hi Gleb, the plugin looks like a considerable amount of work went in it. However, as I'm guessing in regard of mentioned portal feature, something technically analogous but less sophisticated was implemented in Lightwave 3d couple of decades ago. By the way, this portal thing also opens a new possibility to bake in blender any compound object which could consist of anything: instances, particles, volumes, etc... Lightwave has such a camera by default and when I switched to Blender I've been missing it. And when it first released, it was almost it, but I didn't succeed at the time, baking normals correctly and it had been requiring workarounds in regard to other popular baking passes. Also does it accept custom distortion maps, like pro compositing software do? It could be useful to adapt to some lenses in one's arsenal to double them in cgi production.

[@Nixxal]

Looks very cool, can It replicate lens flares too?

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Not the current version, I don't think so. Some mild raytraced/simulated bloom&glare and overall softness in some lenses, yes, also the dirty lens effects, but not the flares per se.

[@Nixxal]

@@GlebAlexandrov Ah thanks, also +1 for the Helios lenses love the character

[@VFXCentral]

Awesome add on. Doesn’t this affect all your multi passes?

[@GlebAlexandrov]

That's a good question and something that needs to be tested for any particular workflow. I guess, it will affect some passes more than the other, for instance I can imagine that something like AO will be more useable than... let's say, masks? I haven't really gone there yet, to be honest. The potential tradeoffs of using the vintage lenses seem to be somewhat similar to real cinematography - shooting with peculiar-looking lenses often limits the amount of posh-pro, keying etc, that can be reasonably expected.

I bought Photographer 5 just a couple of days ago, and I have not really got my head around all its capabilities. It looks like it takes a similar approach to real-world lens simulation. Do you know if Lens Sim is comparable to Photographer 5, or do you think Lens Sim offers better simulation/results? If I pick up Lens Sim I will definitely use your link. Great coverage, here.

[@fergadelics]

ive been using Photographer 4 and 5 off and on last however many years and it really needs you to commit to the AIO system. I think its a great system but the AIO system that works for me is the one I build using the parts i choose. Im happy with light wrangler for my light system instead of the P5's system. I could digress more on details but in short I dont think i will be using Photographer anymore unfortunately. Ive only been using Lens Sim a few hours and im hitched

[@lucasdigital]

@@fergadelics That makes sense. I've not touched the lighting system. Thanks for the reply.

[@fabien5779]

Lens Sim offers physically based, raytraced lens simulation. These can be complex to set up and control, longer to render, but more pleasing and realistic if imperfections is what you are after. Photographer does not offer lens simulation outside of optical vignetting and bokeh shape. Other lens imperfections are featured as Compositing post effects for ease of use, faster rendering and iteration, but it doesn't have longitudinal chromatic abberation, tilt shift or split diopter. It offers other rendering features and is not limited to Lens Simulation though.

[@fergadelics]

@@fabien5779 im trying to figure out how to run things in a sort of lightweight mode with it, where my framing is roughly true but its not doing all the processing. A sort of proxy mode. So far thats my only kinda snag but im not all the way through the documentation and YT content. I just finished the DIY lens video.

[@senless2703]

when creating an animation, the lens jerks! How to animate it correctly?

[@Mortom83]

But one thing I have to ask: Can I make Pass Leyers and will cryptomate work with this addon? Because if I understand correctly the effect happens on a portal that passes through a regular plane.... and I think this alone already blocks the isolation of objects and materials in cryptomate. It's nice, but if you want to do something with the renderer afterwards, it rather doesn't leave much control :| Well, but I haven't checked this shader with Portal.... maybe it works differently and all information like normal. color albedo “passes” through this shader. Denosing can also suffer heavily if it doesn't transfer normals and other render passes.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Yeah this seems to be a drawback of using this approach, btw I recommend checking the documentation, the author has updated it with lots of info, about the AOV passes as well: blendermarket.com/products/lens-sim/docs

[@Volodymyr_Vova]

Does it work with clipping? For example for interior rendering, especially in small spaces

[@GlebAlexandrov]

It has no problem with that whatsoever.

[@joseruano539]

Octane blender can do the same and similar things, without loosing the ability of compositing which is something people is complaining here, a bit tricky to get but definitely achievable

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Just to make sure I understood it correctly: do you mean that using Octane render, we can do ray-traced depth of field in post (e.g. composite different passes without DOF, then add DOF in post and that depth-of-field would look just like its rendered counterpart)? That would be interesting to check, to educate myself more than anything :)

[@proceduralcoffee]

@@GlebAlexandrov you said in a previous video you essentially said this addon is better than any other renderer out there.. now you are telling the truth about not knowing about other renderers like Octane, Redshift, Karma, Arnold and more? Typical Blender bs.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

@@proceduralcoffee If there's a method of adjusting the depth-of-field in post, via z-depth buffer etc, that has a comparable quality to the raytraced DOF in Cycles with the vintage lens simulation (or any other similar render engine), I'd be glad to learn more about it and correct my assessment. Would you mind pointing me out to a video showing that process in Octane/Redshift/Arnold? I'll do my homework, since you've mentioned it, but feel free to share any links as well :) And thanks for your comment!

[@PeterJansen]

​@@GlebAlexandrov The closest 2D dof tool would be a new plugin for Nuke called MagicDefocus2. It just came out. I'm a compositor in film/TV and I use the v1 of that tool quite a bit to match lens artifacting in real shots. I haven't tried v2 yet, but knowing the limitations of post dof, and the clear complexity of this blender plugin in regards to simulating the lens via ray tracing, I can say with about 100% confidence that this plugin (Lens Sim) will produce way more realistic results with fewer (unwanted) artifacts. However, obviously it's not apples to apples, as one is a post DOF and one is in-render DOF. Doing DOF in post is pretty essential when compositing multiple elements together from various sources (real footage, real elements, CG, still photography tracked in etc). I wish this Lens Sim plugin had a Nuke version... I would pay big money for that, I don't care how slow the render time is vs other post DOF tools (MagicDefocus2 renders each frame in under 0.5s with no noise). If I could layer everything together as a 3D scene in Nuke and then render the DOF it with Lens Sim... Ugh that'd be perfect.

[@adameskoo]

Hey Gleb, any idea how to effieciently add fog in post when rendering with this addon? Can't use volumetrics because it's not really efficient for animation and usually I would add fog with mist pass, but it won't work here unfortunately.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

My question would be: are you going to render with or without depth-of-field and certain in-plugin effects like chromatic aberration? Chromatic aberration will make some passes (including the mist pass) less usable, let's say. But if there's no aberration and certain other effects, then it should be no problem, at least in theory, to use the Mist pass for volumetrics? Thinking of it, even if you render with a very shallow raytraced depth of field? Or am I overlooking something?

[@adameskoo]

@@GlebAlexandrov I would definitely want to keep DOF while rendering. It's gorgeous! AFAIK vignetting created by the this lens addon is visible on mist pass so the mist pass would be darker on the edges of the frame. Not sure about Z-Depth pass though (but also not sure is z-depth suitable for adding fog in post).

[@GlebAlexandrov]

@@adameskoo Hmm, that's an interesting observation, I haven't thought about the vignetting! That's something to factor in, for sure, in some way.

Looks very interesting. But this is another one of theses addons that wants to do everything in render which is a very inefficient workflow. All the effects shown can be reproduced In compositing which is a lot faster and u dont have to rerender your whole shot if you whant to change a small thing. Another big problem I see here is AOVs. Good luck using cryptomattes and depth passes if you preblur you image in the render it self or put smudges on the lense xD. If youre an absolut pro with realistic renders and dont work in a team I can absolutly see someone using this but as a compositer, if I would get rendered out depth of field and chromatic aberration I would not be able to work with it.

[@CGToonStudio]

I guess he will soon make a solution for it, like something in the compositor. And i guess it is made for the people who don't want to learn compositing and achieve this quickly

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Thanks for your comment! Indeed, you're right mentioning that using lens simulation would reduce the leeway in compositing. Just like it would reduce what can be done in the post-pro / keying in cinematography (real cameras and lenses I mean). Yet the vintage lenses are often used instead of recreating the swirling bokeh pattern etc in post-pro, and for a reason. "All the effects shown can be reproduced In compositing" - with all respect, that's a bit more complicated than that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole point of such add-ons, and Cycles path-traced DOF is that the out-of-focus rendering is, well, path-traced/ray traced. The incoming light rays, before reaching the virtual sensor, get refracted via the lens geometry which of course has a particular curvature to it etc, and this effect gets pretty complex indeed especially in the vintage lenses like Helios 44-2 etc. If that type of look could be easily recreated in post, we wouldn't see so much use of Helios 44-2 used in movies like Dune, etc (I'm snapping back to cinematography, but I'm sure you'll get the point) :)

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Then, my god, even something like anamorphic focus breathing, or split diopter, or dynamic tilt-shift, how to even start approaching it from the post-pro perspective, I'm not sure to be honest.

[@Puer0000]

Also curious for the potential of achieving this in post, either in Blender or in Davinci Resolve. When working in larger projects this seems very risky to render out scenes with locked effects such as the ones this addon uses, althought it does look absolutely stunning and I would love to use it, I just definitely see problems down the line of doing endless re-renders to change things with the lenses etc :/
