Title: I need help or "how to" with Frischluft Lenscare
Post by: NicoB on 2016-08-29, 11:23:22

Hej,

I´m trying to use the PS Plugin from Frischluft (Lenscare).
Well, I do not even get close to any expected result using this Plugin and need help with this.
(I´m sure just to miss something).

My depth is not filtered (no AA) and I even tryed to double the resolution (rendered).

Attached you can find one example how I´m working right now.

I hope someone could help (?)

Thanks in advance.
Nico

I don't have experience with it and if you, by any chance, need to fix this ASAP I remember the gorilla talking about it. So here are a few links that will hopefully be helpful.

If not, just ignore this post and lets wait for the smart guys to take over :P

PS: Yes, the main tool is C4D but post-production is in AE with Frischluft Lenscare.

It seems like you are using the zdepth as a mask for your transparency, try a white mask on your layer and see if that helps.
I think you need to put it in the Kanale only.

What are you expecting? Maybe more control of ZDepth, put the contrast where you want it. In PS, I've been using quick mask and center gradient to narrow my focus of contrast.
