The
Depth of Field (DOF) Bokeh Effect,
seen in photography and 3D rendering, creates blur in out-of-focus areas, giving
highlights a soft and circular or polygonal shape. You can think of blurred streetlights
in a night scene as an example. In traditional photography, lens aperture blades shape
these highlights.
With SOLIDWORKS
Visualize, you can fine-tune this effect by adjusting
Blade Count
and
Blade Angle, allowing you to customize the shape
of Bokeh highlights. To access these parameters, go to and select both
Depth of Field and
Bokeh Effect.
- Blade Count: Specifies
the number of aperture blades that shape the Bokeh. Higher values result in a
smoother, more circular effect.
- Blade Angle: Adjusts the
orientation of the Bokeh Effect from 0°
to 360°.
