DYNAVISION - Dynamic Depth of Field

Update version 2. 2 1. Switch Dynamic DoF off when riding. Static DoF will remain if set. 2. Added the option to have a different strength Dynamic DoF when talking to someone. This allows you to have a subtle DoF while playing, but much stronger when talking to someone. Or vice versa.

DYNAVISION provides a dynamic depth-of-field and auto-focus effect similar to a camera.

In other words, when you're close to something and looking right at it, the subject stays in focus while the background blurs.

What you're looking at would be considered the SUBJECT.

For the purposes of this mod, the SUBJECT is considered to be what's directly under your CROSSHAIR - or, what's dead-center on your screen.

Yes. Similar.

Tell you why, but I'm going to keep it to what some might call a major oversimplification.

The human eye doesn't really use Depth-of-Field (DOF) unless you put your thumb VERY close to your eyes. And that's more a function of the subject (your thumb) being out of your focal range than the eye's ability to use cinematic DOF.

The human eye is designed to focus on a very, very small area, which is why you have to move your eyes and head to follow the ball during a tennis match.

DOF is typically created by a camera lens. It's a cinematic solution that is typically employed to emphasize the subject.

Without going into a 20 page discussion about lenses, apereture, focal-length and the like, it's easy enough to state that DYNAVISION is a pleasant bastardization of a much beloved camera effect.

DOF doesn't necessarily change with camera-operator movement, but DYNAVISION is 100% determined by distance from the subject and whether you're looking at it.

It's an inaccurate analogy for purists, but for us, it'll have to do - and it's really cool.
