This is why replays need DOF. Looks great!

As long as ISI make sure it can be disabled.

I enabled DOF in iRacing the other day. As I was using some trackside/TV/spectator cams, literally every single car on the track was blurry except the one specific car/area the game was focused on. It was as if the game was trying to simulate a blind person who could only see a specific object/depth, while being almost completely blind to every other part of the world.

I guess DOF adds some gimmicky 3D depth to the scene/image for all the people not playing their games in 3D (especially NVIDIA 3D Vision). You don't need DOF to get a sense of depth if you play your game in 3D, the 3D naturally does this as you choose how close or far to look just like in real life.

A hotkey to disable/enable it would be awesome, that way you could instantly enable/disable it depending on the camera and what "look" you're trying to go for, and how you want your "vision" to be simulated.

It killed my fps in iRacing more than any other setting including AA. I never knew DOF was THAT much of a resource hog.

It does look beautiful though, and has many pros vs not using it, but being able to disable it depending on what camera you are using and what "look" you are trying to simulate is extremely important, or else it has the potential to be nothing but a blinding (literally) nuisance.

Dof is there to simulate a high quality lens, and to take pictures and videos that look like in real photography or videography with an expensive 1.2-2.8 lens. It has nothing to do with blindness. It's natural and normal. That being said, very hard to simulate that in a game, still for taking photos it should be there, otherwise the pics would look unreal

Yeah I and others understand it. Just people are saying when the camera is at the track on behalf of your eye when you are driving there is no need for it. Screenshots I agree and it would be nice to have in rF2 and be able to manipulate it the way you can with a camera, with more work it can all be done in PS etc. I'm sure we'd have endless screenshots in this thread if it was easier to do. Anyway i'm going to delete my previous posts since they're just clogging up this thread :)
 
DOF should not be in-car in my opinion... In-car is the only spot where rF2 looks close to competiters... or actually alongside even... But once you're out of the car, specially trackside cameras it's pretty underwhelming to look at :) And the ability to disable DOF is of course necessary, just like HDR can be switched on/off.

Not sure about that mate, they look like Micro Machines or they are Scalextric. The dodgy/fake DOF effect really is making it look funny, the scale is out. The first pic looks like you smeared some Vaseline over it aswell.

Ok

I posted them because they look ****e to your trained eye

Thanks a lot, watch your post next time you feel like massively offending someone
 
To the community I may have offended:

I apologise for my less than professional editing skills, I will not bother in future.

It's just a screens thread, theres no need to be so bloody rude, no call for that at all.
 
I think you are over reacting big time, taking it far too personal, please grow up :). Sorry but they look weird, they do look oddly out of scale and like miniature cars
 
Grow up? FFS it's like a playground with you people sometimes.

It's a screen grab page and you're laying into it and an off the cuff comment I made.

You should consider how your tone may actually wind people up, opinions and personalities differ from yours so just think about it next time, alright?

It's just a screen page, it doesn't have a thing saying 'pro only' on it. Jeez man, you criticise everyone who's stuff you dislike?!
