This is today's project. A project in adding Depth of Field in post with After Effects rather than during a render pass.
The purpose being to decide if it is quicker to render DoF in post.
The scene was modeled in Maya, one image rendered out, then the Camera Z-Depth was rendered, comped in After Effects and took about 10 mis to render from there. All up about 15 mins render for 5 sec of footage and complete control over the Depth of Field.
Tutorials!
