How to Add Depth of Field in BLENDER

Depth of Field - or Camera Blur - can be created with Blender in either Cycles of Eevee. This Blender Tutorial will cover tips for adding Depth of Field to your render. Depth of Field is the blurry effect when the camera focuses at a certain distance and objects in the background and foreground are blurred.
I'll show you how to use Blender's Depth of Field, control the aperture and F-Stop settings to increase the blur and how to animate depth of field to create a camera focus transition. This Blender tip tutorial will be quick and to-the-point. Keep reading for related links and some of my favorite add-ons for Blender.

Here's my Depth of Field blog tutorial: brandonsdrawings.com/dof

[@Kaiju_222]

Thank you for explaining blades and ratio, many people skip over that, you're a good instructor

[@therandomjandom]

AMAZING TUTORIAL! You are like one of the best Blender Teachers on this platform, you go straight to point and you show additional settings and what they do! You are so helpful! Thanks for the Tutorial.

[@dakermusic]

Great tutorial! Just wanted to add that you can enable depth of field in Solid Mode by checking it in the dropdown arrow to the right of the Rendered Mode button. It can be useful in some cases!

[@iChumpy]

Great tip! Hopefully it stays at the top of the comments for everybody else to see.

[@Brandon-3D]

I did not know that….thank you!!

[@thememesterr]

Thanks! Blender is actually pretty easy, I made my first animation today and im so satisfied with the results!

[@philipmcdonnell7168]

you can actually turn on depth of field in solid mode too, if you check it in the viewport shading drop down menu

[@Brandon-3D]

Thanks man!

[@SourceAwareness]

@@Brandon-3D Hey bro, you're very welcome! Hope you have a Great Weekend, man. :)

[@blenderisms]

hey, the rotation affects the aperture, it becomes apparent if you have small light sources somewhere outside the focus distance. also know as bokeh, it will blur small sources of light in the shape and rotation of your aperture.

[@lesterneil1570]

Thank you. You sound like the Winklevoss twins in the movie Social Network

[@Brandon-3D]

Lol. Thanks…. I think.

[@damienlopez5754]

Thanks for the great tutorial! I'm working in Grease Pencil using two GP blanks and I've been unable to duplicate your results. Do you have any advice on how I can create DOF?

[@SKStudioVideo]

is it possible to enable DOF in separate layer? I have got three layers in EEVEE, and try to enable DOF to one layer only (with particles) - is it possible?

[@sidekick3rida]

Maybe rotation has a relationship with blade count as it's easier to see a square rotate than a circle

[@junesfour]

My blender doesn't have a depth of field option. how do I fix this?

[@Imran400e]

What if i just want to blur the suzane and not the environment??

[@0dkddkdk]

w video

[@VortexFlims]

I messed around with the setting just like ur's but i didn't see any difference. Its like a never turned on depth of field

[@Brandon-3D]

Hi! It probably has to do with the scale of your scene. DOF is based off real world scale If it’s larger than life or incredibly small, DOF will be all messed up.

[@timetoxx]

cant find the camera

[@3dmonkeybizz]

😂 And I thought I knew all about DOF! I didn't even know that the blades are real and found on the camera..... DOH!!!! 🤦‍♂
