Exclude Skybox from DoF

[Michael Betke]

I think it looks a bit unrealistic if the sky blurs off while using DoF.

 

How can I turn it off in the shader? I have no idea where to search.

Im' afraid you can't do this at all. At least not with the current version of Framework.

The thing is, that the DOF shader is running after the skybox and everything else is rendered into a texture.

There is no way the shader can distinguish between the skybox/background and distant mountains/models.

 

I might be wrong, as i'm not using the latest framework...let's hope

Earlier the fog effect did not affect the sky, and it could be changed with a simple commenting out of one line in the skybox shader. I think it works for all other effects also, although I don't see any point in it, because far DoF should affect the sky since it's just another object further away.

but its blurring out clouds a lot which looks ugly.

It would look wierd if the clouds were not blurred out:

+1. Although I expected that answer from Lumooja. Slightly deceived here

Gamelib has also dynamic DoF (command: DynamicDoF()), so you can see sharply where you look at and everything closer and farther is blurred. No need for headtracking devices

[Marleys Ghost]

so you can see sharply where you look at

 

 

 

Shouldn't that be "so you can see sharply where the Camera's aim spot looks at " ..
